Hello,
As I told you at this moment I am in Naval Air Station Kingsville , TEXAS getting ready for Iraq. We have a very strict program in here,please believe me that i barley have time to open the computer .All i can tell is that the bike is in excellent condition, with everything working on it. All consumables(oil, brakes) changed, tires in very good shape.Delivery of the bike will takes 5 days .I will do this transaction through www.motorcycle.com . All I need is your full name and address so i can contact them and after that they will contact you regarding this purchase. They act as a third party and will protect both of us in this transaction.
I am waiting your e-mail.
Thank you.

The bike is in very good shape,has never been raced or abused,with everything working on it. I accept $2000 if you buy it now. I have to sell this bike as fast as I can because in 10 days I will be in Iraq and I think I'll stay there for a while, that's why I'm selling it. Currently I'm in Naval Air Station Kingsville , TEXAS and the bike is here with me. If you agree to buy the bike now ,i will ship it for free to you,i will use military service.Delivery will take less than 5 days. I will appreciate if you will let me know what you decide as soon as possible.

Bruce,

I would defiantly want the bike. I could pay for it today. My only requirement is that the funds be handled thru an escrow service. I would pay the fee.

Do you feel confidant that the shipping could do this with out damaging the bike? If not I could arrange for insured shipping.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks,
Fred Gilbert

Yes VERY likely it is.

First, I don't think that Motorcycle.com does anything like that
AND
I'm pretty sure the military doesn't ship things free to "third party" addresses.

If he is offering the bike at a good price, he could likely find a local buyer and the whole transaction would be much easier.

Just exactly what is he offering to sell for $2000 anyway ??

And why are so desperate to get a bike that you would even consider taking a chance like this ??

No doubt. NEVER trust a guy with a giant handlebar mustache. Just ask Buzz!

There's another Bruce Sterling, too: Bruce Sterling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And, yes, that's a scam.

A Star Ride

Scam. Tell him you happen to be in town on business & would like to just pick it up. He'll then tell you it's in posession of the shipper & they just need your address for free delivery.

A) It's a scam.
2) Why buy a bike just before you ship out?

As they say in Texas, "El Paso!" on that 'deal.'

Just to clarify for everyone that may read this thread.

1) No military member is allowed to post, discuss, or tell loved ones exactly when and where they are deploying.

2) There's no such thing as "military delivery service". The military ships personal household goods when on orders to relocate by contracted moving companies. Otherwise everything goes through USPS.

So, if anyone is claiming to be a deployed or soon to be deployed military person on their initial email/ad ... IT'S A SCAM.

Always remember - "If it looks to good to be true, it probably is."
