Generic Used Bike Buying

Couple other terms you may hear:

BeBack: Someone who always says they'll "Be Back Later"

Upside Down: You owe more on your trade in than what it is worth.ie, you bought that Hayabusa 2 years ago for $12,000 icl tax and lic with no money down on the 60 month plan, and now that you want to trade it, you're shocked to find out the ACV of your rashed up, scratched up, oil-smoking wondermobile is only worth $3400 and you still owe over $10K due to the wonders of compund interest and long amortization schedules......looks like you'll be riding that one for a while, bunkee.

Dreck: Someone with bad credit. "No point in talking to THAT tirekicker; he's a dreck".

Tirekicker: Someone who is always "shopping for a bike" but never buys one.

Wannabee: Just what it sounds like.

Thanks a TON OldTymeBiker(thought I would use that name since that what it was written as). I am going to be shopping within a couple weeks and will surely use this. Hopefully it works for me.
