woke up to a shitty call

so today i get a call from the guy i "was" buying an 02 gsxr from ... pretty much all the paperwork was done on myside he just needed to come down and sign over title or something ..

so he calls me bright and early this morning and tells me that the summer job he thought he had lined up fell through and now he cant afford insurance or something on the new thou he wanted so hes keeping the bike

so pretty much all the work and hype for the past few weeks has been for nothing and it looks like im bikeless for the summer wow today is going to be a shitty day already

he says if he finds a job or something he will let me know but i doubt it will happen

That cant be the only bike for sale in the whole state of Texas. Keep you eye open and you will find something else soon enough

Re: woke up to a shitty call

All you have to do is get a cycle trader magazine from the corner store and start making phone calls, you just may find that same bike cheaper and already fixed up, then again you may not but you will still be riding

Re: woke up to a shitty call

I personally wouldn't keep my option so low as to only wanting a particular yrs and color. Sometimes there are better deals out there. YOu need to just get a bike bro and get riding and *** the color bullshit. Just get a bike man. The weather is too good to be pouting about not having a yellow and black bike. If you are willing to waste the $ then go ahead and check cycle trader and check around the country for one. Then just pay the shipping and the cost that they want for it.

Me personally, I like purchasinga bike I can see personally, ride, check out for underlying problems bro. Just use your best judgement.

Good luck. Something will pop up...

Re: woke up to a shitty call

so umm...seriously, i think the guy is lying. insurance difference between an 04 and an 02 might be like 20-40$ a year...i know from a 929 to a 954 when the 954 just came out my insurance didn't go up very much for the year....nothing that i would need a new high paying job for to pay the difference.

If you already got approved for the loan - would you be able to try to find another bike?
