I'm
into the old Honda CB750s, and often have to cruise eBarf for parts. Some
things are just not available as aftermarket and leaves me no choice but
to hit the largest flea market and side show on the internet today. One
thing that I see a lot of simply annoys the crap out of me. Like anything
else there sellers soon realize there are certain words that catch a sucker's
attention and often their money. One of these words (well, two) is "CHOPPER"
(and at close second "BOBBER"). I see so damn many parts listed as CHOPPER
and know full well I am looking at a bone stock part. Who gives a damn
what I intend to use it for. I know what I am looking for and I don't need
any garage sale guidance, okay? Suffice it to say if I am building a CHOPPPER
I know what I am doing and can decide for myself if it is suitable and
fits my needs.
.
What
these sucker pumping pinheads don't realize is using terms such as this
give a pretty clear indication to their mentality, ethics, and intellect.
And I want to buy something from them? If they can't tell the difference
between a stock CB750 tank and an aftermarket chopper tank are they really
going to know how to assess condition, or for that matter, accurately describe
the item? Probably not. Here's a little help for those pinheaded morons
that can't seem to figure it out:

Now
that this is out of the way, we can clear up a few more things. A stock
seat is NOT a chopper seat. A stock tank is NOT a chopper tank. A stock
wheel bearing is NOT a chopper wheel bearing. A stock footpeg is NOT a
chopper footpeg. An intelligent seller does not need to rely on hypewrods
such as CHOPPER and BOBBER if it does not apply. Those of you who practice
this hyping know who you are and now know your secret is out. You have
a 4th grade education, likely faulty toilet training as a larvae, and care
more for money and yourself than personal hygiene. Please knock the crap
off. Those of us who can take a sled entirely apart, put it back together
right, create our own look and style, and turn a lump of coal into a diamond
do NOT need your help identifying parts and determining their usefulness.
Please, go back to selling Amway, vitamins, cheap carved cork imports,
chain letters, or whatever it was you were doing or clean up your act.
If this offends, bear in mind I take offense to hypeword slinging and do
not need you to tell me what to do or how to do it. |
