I like to check CraigsList from time to time to see what kind of bikes are for sale when I found this little gem. Here is the original URL http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/567453385.html it is probably down by now so I copied and pasted the content below.
Usually I would be pissed about something like this, but this is hilarious.

For sale is a mint set of NJS Donuts. These particular donuts are jelly filled with a sugar coated crust. The complete donut has been approved by the Nihon Jitensha Shinkokai, or NJS who’s strict standards leave other donuts in the dust.
The donuts have seen little to no use. Please note, these are authentic Keirin donuts are are not meant for street use THEY ARE NOT DRILLED FOR BRAKES.
Suprisingly, more often then not, riders ask. “What can NJS donuts do for me”. The answer is quite simple. Besides being the hippest donuts in the mission, they allow many riders to “plump up” in certain areas making once uncomfortable saddles such as the Kashimax Five Gold (NJS as well), comfortable again.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own these rare NJS certified, jelly filled, track ready gems. YOU WILL BE THE ENVY OF ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
Cash only, no low ballers.

The company needs to make inroads with today’s twentysomething bikers because of the dearth of thirtysomething ones. The prime age for motorcycle customers is 35 to 44, according to Donald Brown, a consultant to the industry. Brown says this age group’s numbers began to decline in 1999 and will continue to do so through 2016. Since Harley can’t replace all its boomer customers from a limited pool of busters, it must reach deeper than before into the youth market. The result, says Brown: “It will have to compete more head-on with the Japanese.”
