[QUOTE="Enginedoctor, post: 122975, member: 8346"] well ctking, i don't think the intention was to 'beat you up' as much as it was just a general sense of disbelief. sure, the internet offers anonymity that enables people to act in a demeanor not usually found in face to face dealings, but along with the proof of originality of a rare gem like this, the devil is in the details. yeah, we all know the iphone and it's clones have a 6 or 10 or 12 megapixel camera, but in reality, the picture comes from the LENS of the camera, as well as the ability of the optic sensor to pick up pixels. i agree with racerx that even a cheap digital point and shoot on the order of $100 will take better pictures than the new $800 iphone 6. you don't make phone calls with a camera, why take pictures with your phone? convenience. that's the only reason. not that it's anyone's business at this point, but utilizing the macro button (looks like a flower) on a good digital camera on some of the paint markings and nuances of the bike may have prevented this thread altogether. not saying skepticism isn't healthy, but i'm sure some of the comments may have offended you, especially considering you were the only one with the ability to refute them. if i sold anything for a big boy amount of dollars online (as you did), i'd make haste in obtaining a quality digi cam to ensure i maximized my profits through establishing the top 1% quality of items to be sold on the market, and be able to prove them to be that quality without being in person to see them. i sell LOTS of stuff online, and condition is everything. That being said, nice bike. i see what you mean on the DOT compliance. it was just something i brought up knowing a thing or two about tires, motorcycle or car, and i even sold a pair today. since your tires predate this requirement, i guess that means they're from the era they ought to be. nice. hope you keep at least one nice ct70.... after all, you're the king.
