Thumper is looking for a room.
4 years ago
[474-E58]
Last month I posted an ad looking for a room on Craigslist. It was a very different type of post than I normally put up because my first concern is Thumper. So I figured I would use some creative writing and wrote up the ad in the perspective of the bike itself looking for.... Well... You guessed it. A garage.
This is the original first post.
Hello!
My name is 01010100 01101000 01110101 01101101 01110000 01100101 01110010 and I am currently looking for a garage to rent. Preferably one attached to a home. I'm looking to keep my engine sheltered and my tires warm.
I am 4 years old and haven't had any problems with oil leaks. I just completed my most recent service at (redacted) Harley Davidson on the second (today) of November. I do have high mileage but I'm still under warranty. I also have my own carpet tarp if you're worried.
I don't really have a loud pipe and I only need some space in your home for my pet human. He's always taking me all around town. Having me run from one place to another. I don't mind it. I enjoy the scenery. But I need a change of that scenery. It's getting old. Seeing the same mountain pass, the same houses, and the same old tree with the truck parked right next to it on 47. So I'm looking to try the city. My pet human doesn't have much. Just a bed, a couch, and two tables.
I don't mind sharing the garage with a sedan or SUV. I don't mind sleeping next to the Christmas tree, or the old camping gear. Heck I don't mind if there's a tool box right next to me. As long as you aren't working on any overnight projects and I can reset my oil temperature in peace we should be ok.
My pet human doesn't need much. Just a shower and some space to put his tables and bed. I take him to the laundromat so he can clean his out wear. He's very well mannered. Doesn't bring home any other humans, doesn't stay out too late, always comes home with me before midnight, very responsible little guy. I love him. My first human ran away. But this one? He's awesome.
I am not looking for a car port. It's just too cold for me. And I don't have a cover. Just a carpet tarp that I lay on.
Please feel free to text my human companion at:
(Phone number deleted to preserve privacy. But it was not written out normally because spammers in new Mexico crawl all over our posts. So the next sentence will make sense.)
My human will answer for me. His name is (redacted to preserve privacy.).
(I'm sorry if the contact number is confusing to read. My human insisted I do it this way to avoid Spanners and telemakers. He suggests reading that part out loud to get the number.)
After about a week I had a few people bite. But they sent me text messages wondering what I was looking for. An Indian scam artist was the first to call me. And of course he was confused as to what I was looking for. Which... Honestly how hard is it to figure out that I am looking for a house with a garage?
Anyway three weeks pass and no one answers my ad. So I post up this one:
Hello my name is 01010100 01101000 01110101 01101101 01110000 01100101 01110010 and I am still looking for a garage to sleep in. I am a Harley Davidson FLSL from 2017 and I don't leak any oil. I have my own bed Matt that I sleep on in case you are worried.
I recently had my "over the hill" service performed by highly trained and certified professional Harley-Davidson service technicians at the local (redacted) Harley-Davidson on (redacted) and have had 0 problems.
I am looking for a garage, preferably one attached to a home, to sleep in with one room for my pet human. He is awesome as my first human ran away from me. He never stays out late, he never brings anyone else home with him, he's always working hard and taking me everywhere with him. He buys me parts, he fixes me up, he paints me different colors, and above all pays attention to me a lot. And buys me stuff. Lots of stuff.
Please feel free to text my human if you have any other questions at:
(Redacted for privacy but I re-worded the phone number so it wasn't too hard to figure out. Yet people still couldn't get it right.)
Sorry if the contact text number is confusing. My human insisted on making it this way to keep away scabby people.
After a week I started getting emails. One person who got a huge kick out of my post sent his thanks for a great laugh.
But this is where it gets interesting. Someone emailed me and questioned what I was looking for.

I’m confused…. what are you ISO?

So I reply:
$$$$$
Hey...
I'm looking for a garage, preferably one attached to a house, and a room for my pet human.
$$$$$
I can only assume I was speaking to a lady due to the verbage used:
#####
What is a pet human?
#####
At first I thought I would just break character and take over but then again....
$$$$$
Oh he's my pet... My first human ran away with another human girl.
$$$$$
Hilarity ensues as she continued to speak to a motorcycle.
#####
What breed of human pet?
How long are you in need of a place?
How much are you able to afford?
#####
I started just laughing uncontrollably as I wrote the following:
$$$$$
My human is a mixed breed of Whales, french, and Australian. All from across the pond.
I can't say how much I can afford. I'm just happy to have a human that buys me things. I don't have to work. I watch him work. And yeah... I don't know how much he makes because I never ask. I just get stuff. It's me that wants to change areas.
And it's entirely up to me how long we stay. If I like it enough I'll stay longer. I'm trying for at least a year but if I don't like the scenery nearby I might only stay until I find something better. If I don't feel safe though it's a no go from the get go.
$$$$$
Of course I guess what I said was offensive so she just broke off contact with me and bid her farewell.
This is just one of the respondents so far. I'm fine living where I am I just wanted to poke some fun at finding a new place to rent and honestly? It's fun!
I'll add more as this continues until I find a place.
This is the original first post.

That's actually kind of adorable. I hope Thumper is able to find a garage with a room for his pet human
