You're an American woman, which means if you want free vehicles you gotta stretch that jaw out a little. And I don't mean by smacking gum and gossiping with your friends.

Pssst...I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with Snow Mob.

Never would have happened if it weren't for CasterTroy (and also comments from you guys).

thanks to Castertroy and those offering to hide the bike for a few months

pauldun170

So you keeping the 11 or selling it?

I'd like to keep it.
I'm going to transfer the insurance and plates over to the new one (Once I get all the info) so at the very least the 11' is being taken off the road.

I'm going to put the word out that it is "on the market" but I'm not going to try too hard at least for now.

It's served me well for several years but obviously it's not exactly on everyone's wishlist.

I went there during my lunch hour (working from home that day), sat on the sole black one they had there...said "that fits" and told them I want one in red\silver. Guy said they'd order it and it could possibly be there Friday. Left a $500 deposit and I guess we'll see what happens.

Guy said that no other dealers were willing to trade for em so he could get any.
He originally made it seem like they had it in inventory. He said he would keep trying to find one (now one in any color) but it looks like he has done nothing but waste my time. Had he been on the up and up, I would have used my day off to go to dealerships that actually had them in inventory.

I am not amused

Sorry to hear, thats fucking frustrating. Whats the plan now? I would pressure him to keep looking and then tell him no thanx when he gets one to the dealership, just to return the favor and waste his time too.

pauldun170

Anything new Paul?

Received a message from the place about how they are still looking.
I'll probably call them up later today.
As soon as I hear the words "might","may","maybe" I'm just going to ask them to refund my deposit. I also doubt they will get any of my business for a very long time.

Had I not walked into the place and gone on to the shops I had planned to go to, I would have had the bike and for less.
Now it looks like all the local spots are either sold out or over priced.

CasterTroy

11-03-2009, 12:33 PM

If you want me too...and if it'd make you feel better, I could take a big ole country $h!t in a box and mail it to them C/O a very unsatisfied customer.
