60 bikes in California

Presumably in the San Francisco area.  There is a Ducati 450 R/T, various dirt track framers, monkey bikes, and what seems to be an assortment of 80/90s dirt bikes.  It has been posted for a couple of weeks and was just updated yesterday.

cheers,
Michael

It is Rob Wilcox and it is a generic ad he runs all over the west coast on Craigslist, he just reruns the ads every couple weeks, what you see is not usually what he has for sale,
he is based out of Medford Oregon and there are some reports about him in the scams section on Marks swapmeet
I have never dealt with him just what i have heard and read

I'm not in the market but that is worth knowing.

I usually try and not look at CL so I can avoid seeing anything tempting.  :)

thanks,
Michael

A chap went to look for a bike for me and himself from this guy. He walked out empty handed as the guy was at the least extremely hard to deal with.

I tried to cut a deal with him a couple of years ago but he insisted I buy a few bikes in a job lot to get the one I wanted (a Trackmaster 750 Norton). He doesn't seem to want to sell individual bikes but offers them in packages, often on  Marks Swapmeet.  He's a wanker.
