That is a great deal, if it is for real. There is not any phone number in the listing, and I have never had any luck trying to buy off craigslist when there was not a phone number. It was just people wanting to jerk people around. After a few bad experiences, I started flagging these too good to be true deals without phone numbers.

Trying to find  video that Tools posted here a long time ago.

It was a dark gray, almost black, sumo style bike. XR, I think.

I've searched "XR, CR, CRF, Sumo, supermoto, supermotard". No luck. Tools, can you remember this?

"Sumo" A fat, naked, sweaty bike? What was it doing in the video?

Nah, I really was thinking it was an XR. Pretty sure it was a just a street legal dirt bike. Converted or not, I dont recall. Not really sure if it was on 17's either.

It wasn't a homemade video,though. High quality video. The bike was a real dark matte gray with gloss black lettering....I think.

I may as well live in Canada. Being in the red river valley, the air funnels out of Canada, down through my area. Not so bad this morning, it is about 8 or so. Windchill is -9 or so. Next couple of nights it will kinda get cold, about -15 or so before windchill. Cold is when it is hitting -30 before chill.

many winters I sit and look at temps up around the arctic circle and I think, "man, those guys have it good". Times when their temp is a fair amount warmer!
