Making buying a motorcycle easier in the USA for foreigners.

He guys and gals.
First, let me introduce myself.
The name is Martin. I am an Irish national living in San Francisco California.
Over the past number of years I have noticed a lot of questions from people asking about buying a bike in the USA. In a lot of cases I have helped buy and kit out bikes in my garage while they stayed at my home in San Francisco.
Here is my advice.
Look on local classifieds, craigslist.com is the best one out there. Pick out what you like and I will pick it up for you. Because sellers here are afraid of scammers, best to let me deal with them via phone unless English if your first language. People here are very suspect of emails with not perfect USA slang as scamming is popular.
Buying luggage and the usual bits and bobs can all be shipped to my address here.
You are also welcome to stay at my home where you will eat home cooked meals and have all the advantages of home.

I can also store bikes and help you sell them when your are done.

Let me know if I can be any help.
