I get an inkling sometimes that there is a fraction of a chance in a million that I could be a semi-decent percentage that I could be an ok person. For the very real reason that I locally look at bikes for people in the neighborhood before they buy them.
This is the sort of thing I find all the time and scream 'RUN AWAY' at all day long.

Two weeks ago I had a guy about to drop NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS on a SOHC CB750 that did not run but had Benji's shit all over it.
Today I've taken apart a 'notable' builders bike that has featured on pipe burn allegedly and found that they never installed the stem nut to secure the trees to the frame. Oh and the 22mm spec float height ranged between 19 and a million throughout the carbs. It has firestones on it. It has screw connectors on every wire. The bolt allowing for adjustment of the floating caliper was missing, and it's valves could fit dicks in them.
I'm getting ready to drive down to the South to see these guys and scream a bunch. This guy seriously could have been injured.
Also, he paid 10 grand.
Fuck.
Me.
