I've purchased 7 motorcycles off of ebay in the last 10 years or so. One thing I do to ensure that they're actually in possession of the bike is have them take a photo of themselves with the bike and holding a paper sign that says hello. Then they email that photo to me. This way I know that the photo was actually taken subsequent to our conversation. It also helps verify the current condition of the bike, because you can never be sure when their photos were taken.

Great tips on buying and selling a bike or car.I would always meet at my bank so I don't have to take/have the money outside .Also I like talking to the buyer or seller on the phone vs online to get a better line on who you are dealing with. Great topic to cover.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

yes! banks and phone conversations - good ideas

[@chrisgraham9203]

I appreciate your tips, many of which I learned (the hard way) over many years. Yes, there are a lot of crazies out in the world, and in most cases, you are the only one that can protect yourself from them.

[@disekjoumoer]

Those are excellent points, Doodle, and not only for women! I think yours is the first video I've ever seen covering this topic.

[@ttrguy9952]

I have found here in the New England area, 90% of the ads on Craigslist for bikes are scammers and I delete their ads twice a day. You are playing it smart lady! Banks are great also because of all the Cameras! Crooks already know this stuff and will not agree to meet you at a Bank or especially a Police station parking lot. Good Show girl! Bravo! Always bring someone else as you stated. Ride safe Doodle and BE SAFE!!!!

I'm a man, and not particularly cautious, but I insist when buying or selling anything from Craigslist on meeting the buyer/seller at a busy shopping center parking lot in front of the store with the most traffic. It's just common sense these days when so many are trying to take advantage. Good Advice, Doodle.

[@MotoPappy]

Excellent advice. Anyone wishing to buy anything on Craigslist or social media platform should watch your video.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

thanks :D

[@AliceQuinnRose]

I've just realised you're looking at the view finder rather than the sense. But really good advice. Thank you.

Cashing a check at a bank. So they cash their check at a bank & pay you, but not write a check to you in case it's a bad check. I guess that way you also know that the cash isn't counterfit,...is this correct?

[@JOERIDERPNWRYDR]

good advice. always good to bring someone with you too

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

yes!!

[@mikestrivens2039]

[@HARMARSCH2]

Doodle excellent advice for anyone Womnan or Man if you’re buying a used vehicle.

[@HARMARSCH2]

What does this mean? Doodle gave excellent advice. People have been kidnaped and killed looking at used vehicles sold Privately

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

@@HARMARSCH2 for real!! gotta be safe!

[@melsagelord3991]

Good vid. Anything from a sellers point of view? As bikes could be easier to steal once a scam buyer knows the location.

[@jamesmegill]

[@paulwrighton5236]

It’s better to be safe than sorry

[@blujack100]

I called the local police and they were able to check the vin to see if it was reported stolen. Take a photo of their drivers license and note if it has motorcycle classification. Possible red flag if not.

[@benedictang9103]

I would like to request how to cycle through the different menus and options like traction, riding style, features on the dash of the street triple R. Thanks :)

[@duanetaylor7162]

Do you ride anymore?

[@leggy2612]

When are you next going to do a ride vlog?

[@1970PMD]

I always insist the seller/buyer to meet me at the nearest police station/precinct.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

yes!! I did this for my Bonneville (per the seller's initiation) and have since copied it :D

[@mikeyone100]

That thumbnail tho oooo

[@natespics8276]

Seller owes the bank for the bike. She wants 4,500 says we can meet at the bank and they can put the bike in my name. Suggestions? I want to walk away with the bike and pink slip same day.

[@AdamSVT]
