Bessie Stringfield: African American Queen of the Road
Motorcycle sale ad of the YEAR. It’s only March and I think this really would be a hard one to beat.
See the advert on TradeMe.co.nz, and read below for a little excerpt.
Hi. I’m Suzi. I’m a GN250. I’m the motorbike of your dreams.
The guy in the pictures with me is my owner. I taught him how to drive a motorbike. I took his fat ass everywhere. I carried him and his girlfriend to many awesome places. I even taught her to drive a bit too. Everyday when he needed me to go to work, to the supermarket, or to go and have brunch by the beach, I was there. EVERYDAY. Now, all of the sudden, he wants a car. Pft. Apparently I’m no good to carry a drum kit around. A ridiculous point, but I got the message. After a heated argument and a couple tears, I decided it was time to find a new fat ass to drive me.
