Cliffnotes:
Long time member sells his 636 race bike, contacted by a nigerian scammer who says hes gonna send a bank check blah blah, pick up the bike, classic Nigerian scam.
Everyone on boards says dont do it its a scam, member takes the bait hook line and sinker. Bike gets picked up, deposits a large check, bounces a week later, guy ends up withdrawing like 21k from his acct wiping him out and is out bike, cash etc. OP is a lawyer who thinks he found the guy only 90 minutes from his house and is in the process of trying to prosecute him or something....
hilarity ensues.
Oh ya - the scammer posts in the thread saying how he got screwed!
