I see it EVERYWHERE. CL, eBay, FB, even here on the good ol' CABE. If you don't know, just be honest. Or even better...do some research before listing it for sale!

Because someone they know told them, and that person knows everything about everything.... Or they saw it on a TV show....

Tell them if they really want to know what's what post it here on the Cabe!

for some reason, people seem to believe what another person tells them, even if the other person is no where near being an expert.
My wife bless her soul does this too.

Lots to like about the bike except the price. Here is an earlier CABE thread on another Falcon - that top tube pinstriping is exquisite.
