Waikato Yamaha won't sell me a FZ1!

[carver]

Doesn't quite work like that sadly (for the bike shop).
I'd let you (Carver) test ride one of ours if I knew you had the coin to back it up.

hmmm...your a bit far away, plus this one was at a good price with good kms...
they could have just said no....instead of trying to pussyfoot around the issue.

how do you know if i have the coin?

[Katman]

i dont think your quite with us...

I'm eternally grateful.

You just gotta look good and talk posh, bro.

Me, I ain't got a cent to my name, but all I gotta do is crook a finger and shops chuck me the keys to $35,000 bikes.

Then again, not having a cent to my name has never stopped me from spending money regardless, so perhaps those shops are onto something.

exactly,. thats what i sign the forms for..
never crashed a bike i have test ridden.
out of 33 bikes owned only one of them was crashed when i was at fault.
and that was speeding in the wet!

but it begs the question...
do you want to sell bikes?
treat a customer like shit if he dont look the part, and its a customer you have lost!

So the OTHER 32 crashes WEREN'T your fault...???
THRASHED A FEW... but didn't crash...
To sell bikes, you need to have saleable bikes, AFTER the test ride...
If it looks like shit... smells like shit...
and untill you hand over the folding stuff...you're not. And I would say they KNOW you're not even a POTENTIAL customer...if you were, I dont think they would mind the loss anyway....

I have a sneaky suspicion that you may have paid a wee bit more than $10K considering there's a 7 year difference between the bikes.

I would have no problem letting carver test ride a bike if I owned a bike shop. so long as all my insurance policies are in place I should be guaranteed the full sale price of the bike if it gets binned. Of course the insurance company then goes after the person who caused the damage for the full value of the pay out.....

Indeed, paid quite a bit more.

Anyway, I agree with what you say if they are a bike shop, they must sell bikes, sometimes it will present risks.

I would let carver test ride a bike, I dont belive he is that stupid or noob to stun the bike out of the dealer shop and 12 oclock it with the first wheele.
In any other case, anyone could crash a bike while test riding, so why just not wrap them in the bubble wrap and put a sign "pay first, ride later!"

[MentalFacility]

Sorry, not the sort of answer carver wanted to hear.

Try - "fuckin' smash 'em bro."

I dont like lame stunts too, but comon, carver doesn't deserve the hate he gets on this forum.

I just dont hate him, that's all.

[jrandom]

carver doesn't deserve the hate he gets on this forum.

Nonsense. He deserves every bit of it and more.

In fact, he laps it up, and dangles more bait whenever possible.

It is NOT up to any on site to make the decision to let him (or not) test ride ANYTHING... The SALES manager has that FINAL say... the RISKS are his.

carver may be because they do know your rep on kb and you tend to be a dick most of the time.

Nope, that couldn't possibly be the case.

I reckon it's because he's black.

32 crashes? haha, no way!
fuck handing over 10k before testing a bike, boyd will throw me the keys to 17k bikes without any questions, and they have seen me wheelie and ride alot!

its part of being on here, people dont like different opinions from the norm and cant accept it.

Nonsense. He deserves every bit of it and more.

i would be lying if i said it aint fun! fuck all you pussies!

bit like you in real life-oh, when you going to beat me up?still got ya PM!

Nope, that couldn't possibly be the case.

could be dressing black, like gangsta styles, maybe asking for chrome wheels gave me away

If you're able to pay for the bike in cash, bring it along with you and leave it as a security deposit.

Exactly what i read into half the posts i read from the guy !
So far what i've SEEN aint half as bad as we did as youngstas

carver may be because they do know your rep on kb and you tend to be a dick most of the time.

This is just the post i'd expect to see on a carver thread ! Then i guess he expects them too !

If you're able to pay for the bike in cash, bring it along with you and leave it as a security deposit.

Leave it in the bank, if anyone refused to let me test ride a bike cause of a little rep i'd buy elsewhere !

If ya into a hours flight carva, there's a triumph down here going for around the mark your talking !
Fully insured if yr fully licenced (all i'd wanna see)
If ya don't buy, you'd sure as hell catch the flight home with a good hangover anyway lol

[insane1]

carver you like to be a little prick most of the time, but one day if you make it to my age if your lucky you might just grow up a bit and for beating you up nah your not really worth the effort.

Too far away? Tauranga is less than an hour from Hamilton? Unless your riding a scooter of course!
