Portion of the msg:

The bike is still for sale. Never had any mechanical problems. I must
tell you that I had to move to UK one month ago with my work and I
took the bike with me hoping to drive it here as well. I work in Public
relations department at a hotel here and because of this job I change my
home quite often. Here I had an unpleasant surprise because the bike is
an US model and to pay the registration here in Europe, to pass
all the emissions and standards and many other would be quite expensive and nobody would do it. I have tried to sell it locally but it was not
successfully. That is why I am trying to sell the bike back in USA,
there will be no further problems because the bike passes US
emissions standards and DOT & EPA as long as it has been purchased in US space.

The shipping and handling are included in the price.
If interested please reply asap. Shipping takes 7-8 days.
Thank you for your time.

(Professor @ Sep. 24 2007,14:59) Not even a spin on a scam. The same old one.
Guess I've fallen short on exactly how these scams work anymore...I know they ALWAYS seem to be in the UK...

I told him Saturday that it was a scam, but I don't think he believes me...hoping someone will say "hey, that's my bike and it's not for sale" so he'll see how this works

Yep. Western Union - dead giveaway.

Stay away....stay far, far away.
 
Hopefully he won't fall for it

Really hoping someone recognizes the bike though

Request a new picture with a current UK paper on the Tank.

How about a Copy of the US registration with the matching vin.

Do a fre Car Fax on the VIN

Look like a Texas sticker, but I'm not certain.

Regardless, your uncle might as well buy $3900 in PowerBall tickets. He has a better chance for return on his dollar.

He sent along some questions of proof last night; curious to see what the guy says...

All great ideas...none of which will happen

Thanks Prof...

I guess I'd never seen someone talk about the emissions being an issue in the UK; it's always some family tragedy while someone lives in the UK...

I'll tell him about the Powerball idea LOL That's good...
