9/24 In So. CAl they have teh greatest invention in the history of Mankind...
_The REcycler_ magazine. Free classified adds (not for dealers) and you
pay like $1 to buy it. I can get up early Thursday morning, get it, and
have a new(to me) motorcycle by Thursday night. Why (oh why?) is there
nothing like that up here? It is a giant PAIN to shop for a used Bike.
I know some of you CSUAers ride, Where should i look?

\_ Um, i apreciate the thought, but, you know, i did try that. The
problem is that there is a dirth of adds for this area. I don't
want to have to drive to LA to get my bike.
\_ there is a similar paper called "diablo dealer" in contra costa
county. pick one up in orinda or lafayette. they advertise
their sister papers in it too.. I think there might be one for
the richmond area too?
\_Cycle Trader is the only way to go in Northern california.
For some reason, bay area folks think thier old shit is
worth more than blue book. Good luck, dont go to a used
bike dealership also, they will rip you off.
\_ see blue book is too large of an area. In the bay area there
is a much higher market for bikes so the tend to go for a bit
more. You figure it out. (Also people tend to be negotiable
on prices, you ask for more than you expect to get and all that) |
