Oh i completely understand. I hate putting anything up for sale. especially on Facebook Market Place. "Is it Available?" I just answer back "You reading the Ad?" "Apparently not". lol

They view craigslist posts on their phone. And yes, the questions are always addressed in the posting. Smart phones train stupid people.

A brand new Suzuki AX100. They are still being sold but not for long, they won't be able to sell it brand new in 2026.

SWEET! I didn't think two strokes were even allowed anymore other than garden implements.

Of course, the "Is it available?" is the pre-filled in response on Marketplace....and coming from someone who just bought two bikes over the last month or so, what's even more irritating than that canned response is PEOPLE WHO SELL SHIT AND NEVER TAKE THE ADS DOWN! You have no idea how many bikes I took the time to write a nice, thoughtful message to the "seller", just to either be totally blown off, or if they were nice enough to write back, tell me it's sold. I can completely see why a potential buyers first question is "Is it still available". I'm not kidding. I bet 50% of the ads I responded to were marooned ads.

Bought one of these for the BSA project.

Till 2026, they are going to be able to sell 2 stroke motorcycles that are legal to be used on road. Not that there are many, there are like 2 or 3.

One being the Ax-100, the other being a Husqvarna Te something and a 50cc motorcycle.

If you go to a Suzuki dealership and you want to buy a small cc motorcycle, their first choice is the GN125, then a 250, then V Storm 800.... Not to eager to sell the 2 stroke.

Getting a new Ax 100 is like opening a time capsule from the mid 80s. The design is still the same, they still rock the 6v electric system even when there is a drop in kit to make it 12v. Chrome plated parts, not silver painted ones. I just had to have one.

Agreed, those are cool! My favorite bikes are from the 60s to 80s, before everything got goofy looking. When bikes looked like they were supposed to look.

Hey, I'm a geezer. Deal with it.

In most market that's the case, they did stop selling it in 89. In others the Ax went for a long time till mid 2010s and in the case of my country it's still being sold.

It's pretty much the cheapest motorcycle made by a japanse brand you can get. The price tag is 800 usd, while an Honda Wave (cub) is around 1300 usd

A piston and ring set off amazon for an stihl 044 that was given to me that lean siezed... nothing like a free 70cc saw for free, slap a $10 piston in and go to town...LOL

New pots and pans.....and of course, there's a story.

Had our old "daily use" stuff for decades and was limping along. Warped, most everything stuck. Of course, we have some cast iron but it mostly hangs for decor. Finally got sick of the daily use stuff one day and I grumbled about getting something new. That same day, Mrs. 2LZ ran into a super-sale at Wally World on the "as seen on TV" Gotham Steel stuff. 50% off, why not try it?

They worked great for about 6 months and now have a mind of their own. Sometimes stuff slides right off, sometimes it sticks like glue. With the price of eggs these days, nothing is more irritating than a broken yoke trying to un-stick that wad of Chicken Gold. Off to Amazon I go for some serious research. The T-Fal set worked their way to the top of the list after about a week of reading. We'll see.
