I always ask for detailed pics. its just one of those live and learn lessons i guess. Sorry you got taken on that deal. post up some pics of the bike for us to see it.

i just picked up a nice red dream with buco bags last week, ill be selling very soon. once the carbs are cleaned and i have it running perfect.

i saw the initial ad pics. They are not very clear pics. but it does look like a nice bike. what did you initially pay for it? one add was asking 3000.00 one was asking 3900.00

Before I post picks of my "mint" 305, I thought I should share this. This is the document the seller signed when the bike was picked up. All the existing damage is noted - accurately I might add.

Here is the email from the seller when I contacted him:

U better call the shipper . Seat , handle bars , fender, no way, federal has damaged 2 of my bikes already. They get loaded and unloaded numerous times before reaching you. That's absolute bull.

Pantload, pure and simple.

If the bike is as bad as you say, you might want to send the Tartaglia brothers to have a little "talk" with Mr. Singer.

OK, here you have it - a link to detailed images of this "perfect" Honda Dream with "perfect paint and chrome - MINT!". The first thing I noticed was that the bike has been repainted - and it goes downhill from there...

Looking forward to your thoughts and comments.

D; Well, you are right. It ain't perfect, not even close. perfect is real tough to get, and a "perfect" dream would bring more $$ than what you paid. Hopefully, you can just ride it and enjoy it for what it is. give me a call, I'm just down the road in Bellingham with a bunch of dreams(and some other old Hondas) you can look at
