I wrote both these guys an email telling them about the bad kharma
they will get when they sell these bikes. Tell-tale signs were the yellow
foot rests, but I didn't want them to know how I knew they were
Viet-bodge bikes.

If you feel like it, write these guys emails and tell them how lame they are.

First one flagged and gone - excellent! Second one - one effing ugly paint job. Lame for sure. Can't see the centerstand though - did they take a photo off? Can you do that on CL?

Vietcong, huh?

...so you're saying these bikes came from a communist army based in South Vietnam that fought the United States and South Vietnamese governments during the Vietnam War? That's the Vietcong that I'm familiar with. Perhaps they are into restoring scooters now, too...

I just flagged the second one. They have the stand up if you look closely... it IS there with yellow booties, but they left the scoot leaning against a wall (perhaps to draw attention away from the boots)

Sorry to everyone about the "Vietcong" thing. I didn't realize that some people are hyper sensitive and ultra politically correct here. I changed it for you.
