Got one for this thread. I decided it's time to buy a new (to me) motorcycle. Did some research, found this: Trimph Street Triple 2012
Emailed the seller this:

(Seller):
I'm interested in buying the 2012 Street Triple you have listed on craigslist. I have a few questions. Does it have any warranty left on it, and if so, is it transferable?
I would like to look the bike over, hear it run, and possibly test ride. I can bring proof of ability to pay. I will be getting off from my job in Stead around 4 pm this Thursday and Friday and am off this weekend. Let me know what works by email or text (number).

No response. I thought I also sent a text, but realized the next day that is never sent, so I emailed this:

I sent a text on Sunday, or at least tried to. This morning I realized that it never sent. I see the ads are still up so I assume the bike is still for sale. I'm on swing/graveyard this week, but should be off Friday. I would like to have a look at the bike then if possible.

I'm heading up from Carson City to Stead to take care of some quick paperwork and can head over to see the bike. I just need an address.

No response. Texted similar verbage five or ten minutes later. Waited an hour then called and left voicemail. Waited another hour then called and left another voicemail. Waited another half hour and left a third. Waited another half hour, called again and when I didn't get an answer, I went home.  WTFO!
