Dudes and Dudettes, this Certified Old Fart has never bought a motorcycle in his 66 years of living without seeing it in person and putting at least 10 miles on a used bike!
Should I be afraid of this deal? Is there a way for me to double check Mr. Richardson's bonafides? I did find it odd that he left no phone number so we can talk this over!

Hi Teddy, Thank you for your Service, I was United States Army Artillery from 1968-1974 firing M102A - 105mm towed Howitzers. I'm 66 years old and I have never used eBay, you will note I've copied my two friends Don C. and Bill H. to get their take on this. I certainly have additional references, can you provide me with the same?
Sincerely,
Don StanleyChandler, AZ 85225

Subject: Re: Please send me close up photos and more detailed information on your CBX. 1) Clear title? 2) Fully Running condition? 4) Your length of ownership? 3) Can I view it SAT 11/8?
Hello,
I'm glad that you are interested in buying my 1980 Honda CBX . The bike has been extremely well maintained with a full service history, and has not been involved in any accidents. It only has 4,409 miles on it and the title is clear. I bought it when I was serving at Hill Air Force Base, Utah but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 2 year period, so I do not want to let it rot in my backyard and therefore need a fast and reliable buyer. The bike is already at our Department of Logistics at Hill Air Force Base, Utah crated and ready to go. The shipping will be free for you because I will transport it using the internal transport system we have here at the Department of Logistics! The DoL will deliver the bike to the nearest Air Force Base from your area and from there I will use a tow-truck to have it delivered to your door. The whole shipping process will take 3-4 days. The financial part will be managed by eBay, which means you will have a 5 day inspection period before committing to buy the bike. In this way, both you and I are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction. I would really like to get at least $5200 so if you are interested in making this purchase in a timely manner email me your: full name and shipping address, so I can inform eBay that I have a buyer! I will forward your details to them and then you will receive the invoice.
For more pics please get back to me as soon as possible!
Thank you,
Teddy
