Gimme the soap box....

Where do i start... I was going to trade my 929 for an F4i from a member of SBN. We talked back and forth about the bike and he contacted Onetrick and Snizzle about it as well to get some backround on it...

I tell the kid that I am willing to drive to Orlando if he is POSITIVE its a done deal. I told him if he wanted to test ride it we can meet half way. After a few days of researching he contacted me and told me that everything was a go, that the only thing that would keep him from trading it would be if I get there and the bike doesnt start... So we agreed to trade on Sunday

So, here we go... Worked Saturday from 4PM to Sunday 6AM (14 hours) without sleep. Once I got out I hauled *** home to get the bike loaded and Cris up and runnin... We load the bike and i put $101 dollars worth of gas in the truck... We go out in a torrential downpour and make it to Orlando at a little before 11AM. Contact this kid and go to his house. He wanted to test ride the bike... No problem as I have nothing to hide.... me and Cris jump on his F4i and he gets on the 929. We got for a 20 minute ride so he can test the bike... hauling ***, braking, hard shifts, handling, everything is perfect on the 929... We get back to his place and he says he isnt sure because he feels a rattle at 8K RPM. I have never ever felt/heard that before and i am a stickler for funny noises... So i say Ok, i give him his space to ponder...

After a while of silence I tell him "Seems like you wanna say no go. Thats fine by me just say it dont try to think of excuses. I love the bike and I have no problem keepin it." he tells me he has an inner struggle between gettin it and the rattle. I tell him to take his time....

So after another 5 minutes he says he is going to pass up the deal. i say no problem and I dont get upset or anything cause i LOVE the 929 regardless... here is what throws me into defensive mode. I mention to him how much money i had to use to fill up to come to Orlando and he knows im have had no sleep, no food, no nothing... He says sorry. Didnt even offer me $20 dollars for gas or nothing. OK if the tables were turned and I backed out on a done deal, i would try to make it right somehow even if it meant to tell him "Yo, i dont got no cash on me, but I will paypal you a couple of bucks for gas."

So on the way back i wind myself up and start getting pissed. prior to leaving his place, i notice that one of my muffler hangers on the truck broke so one of my dual exhausts is just hangin around. He was kind enough to give me some zipties... on the way back it is another torrential downpour and we can go no faster than 20MPH on the turnpike due to visibility... The truck starts to over heat. We stop and fill the reserve tank for the coolant and take off. So we go about 20 miles and the ****er starts to overheat again!! ****!!!!! Pull over again and This time i open the radiator cap and let out all the coolant and refill with water... The coolant was dark brown like rust.. no leaks ANYWHERE in the cooling system... (BTW the truck A/C doesnt work so we had the windows up in a storm with no A/C).
So I notice it only overheats when im going over 70 so i keep the speeds down to 65-70 when there was no rain.... Had to fill up one of the tanks again and it was another $40 dollars... Made it home just now...

So $141 for gas, $30ish for tolls, $9 dollars for coolant and A one day fruitless trip to Orlando for NOTHING!!!!!!


Stepping down from the soapbox...

 

That sukcs man I feel you I drove 200 miles to deliver my gsxr to a guy and I had sent him probably 50 pics and told him numerous times this is a stuntbike and can't be ridin on the street cause it has a certificate of destruction title and I show up and he says "so what did you mean about not being able to ride it on the street, I don't want a bike I can't ride on the street". I was so damn pissed cause I got a new dodge that gets shitty gas mileage and I wasted a week sending pics and talkin to this duetche bag on the phone trying to make the deal and then he just doesn't want it.

 

pm me a address and i will get some satisfaction for you

 

***** u should answer ur phone, im going riding for a bit, so u should come make some poppies with me, chris and hazen, lb spizzle

 

riding is over rated

 

im going out there now, meet me out there stat!!

 

Not cool at all i would at least give some gas money if i had somone come out that far and not go threw with the deal!..

 

What a d*ck, I would have atleast paid half for gas

 

Yeah the least i would do is helpwith gas.

 

Damn what a bad one !!!!! Now you know next time tell them to Paypal you gas money if your going to make a trip like that.. Or have them come to you..
