Ziggy Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 As I was walking around checking out all the bikes, this guy on an R6 rides by, and the bike kinda caught my attention. I noticed it because he had race plastics on the bike, with a couple of headlamps strapped to the forks. I didn't think much of it until I spotted it parked, and decided to go look it over. When I got there, I noticed he had a paper taped to the tank. The paper was a printed for sale ad for the bike in which the owner freely states that the bike has been down a couple of times, plastics are zip-tied on and painted with a rattle can, and the bike could use a rear tire. So of course, I checked out the rear tire, and this is what I saw:Now keep in mind, this dude rode the bike to QS&L, and clearly intended to ride home, and yes, those are the steel cords coming through the center of the (absent) tread. Would that thing not ride like it was on marbles? If the owner of this bike is on here, You Sir, are a dumbass.Oh yeah, 17k miles, and $3500/obo...

Ziggy Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I had no idea where Petersburg, Ky was, so I googled it... I really hope dude didn't ride from there on that tire, Petersburg is over 100 miles from where I saw the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some good tires bro if good sir you are even considering riding this thing agian, ever. even down the driveway.It's all the power he's putting down once he gets it stood up on the straights. The bike just has so much power that he can't keep the tire hooked up when he rolls on the throttle :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 its possible he lives close by, or trailed to a friends house close by and just babied it to qsl to get it out there and try to sell ithes asking way too much imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 would make a good track bike. already beat up, no worries about wrecking it.The tire on my bike looked similar to that when I bought it. Not reassuring, but the rest of it was near flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
