Oh yeah, sure, trying to be reasonable...
Weird, you say? That sure is one heck of a lot of typos and getting cut off, required to get from A to B.
You also left out the promising "Go f"
(Remember, we're in 'Jersey here.)
Phew, off to work. Been Covid and heat-advisory bored... keeping myself away from what I have to do, (finding stuff, and posting bikes and parts for sale).
Cheers, Eric

I can assure you the person riding this had at least ONE regret (the time they rode full tilt into a parked Ford Aerostar).

And i wonder if someone will actually buy this (as opposed to pelting the seller with rotten eggs).

Living in Brooklyn I learned a long time ago to not use CL for ANYTHING. If you look at the circles on the maps on both posts above you are closing in on hipsterville and everybody thinks they are the most creative person on the planet with something unique to sell, and everything is worth about 10 times what it would be if just found in a garage somewhere. There are no garages in those parts of Brooklyn so they must think they need to recoup the rent they paid for those things to take up space in their tiny apartments.
