Sorry - but attacking a person trying to be supportive and helpful does not sit easy with me.

He disguises not being a dick quite well.

She don't need money to have an awesome x'mas and I am sure she would prefer someone else to have a great x'mas too.......I am just concerned that trying to sort things out properly is lengthy, stressful and even if you win you still have to get the money out of this geezer.............there is "the right way to do things" and the "the right thing to do"...there is a subtle difference but I always go for the later.

id be happy if you ever want to check out a bike up these necks of the wood to pop over and check it out for you or anyone just holla.
the more eyes look over a bike the better.
but good luck with ya delimar, cant imagine its a pretty place to be in.
ill be keeping an eye out to see how you go.

Know what you mean babe. What i'm saying is that there are certain procedures as you may be aware that you need to follow in order to go to court. We don't know where this is going so it is beneficial for you to follow it. Also, you're not going to resolve it if you don't ask for what you want or set parameters. What the merchant may consider as a fair time to pay you maybe four months. Is that ok? No jokes, real advice, you have your legal opinion. Get your bike fixed

Ever seen those "know me before you judge me" adverts?...

Things will have come to a particularly low ebb if the parties involved in this transaction have to get all legal about things. I hope that the as yet unnamed "vendor's agent" is taking careful stock of their involvement in this sad and sorry saga. They made personal representations as to the condition of the motorcycle and were happy to pimp it for a "mate". It now appears that they don't actually give a fuck. If they attached any value to their personal reputation and integrity, they would be making every effort to put things right with Str8 Jacket, within reason. Dear Mr Salesman, I hope you are reading this and that your ears are burning. It's not too late to do the right thing by a fellow biker.

Name and shame, NAME AND SHAME! Nothing like a bit of peer pressure to sort things out or at least get their side of the story.

Yep 'Court' is a process not a guaranteed outcome.

NOOOO Dyno.....name suppression please.........

Yeah, thats what I was beginning to think to....

Ive worked for the courts in different areas for over 4 years now so I have all the advice and everything I need to get it sorted but Id rather not take it down that path. I believe that he is a good person but he's just made a big mistake.....

Rooobeeelllaaaa

I will not name any names yet. I will give the person a reasonable amount of time to respond/contact me before I even consider it.

**davereid** · 21st November 2006, 19:55

Look on the bright side, once you have got it sorted you have one of the best bikes around. They are fast, stop well, and handle great with that delta box frame. There would be very little from the 80s or even early 90s that handled that well, they are still awesome. Good tyres can be a bit tricky to find, but you can get them. Continue to pursue the seller, but rat around and find the loot to your bike sorted, so you can enjoy it. PM me if you need parts, I may be able to help.

Sux Str8 I know you have had a lot of support but a bit more cannot be bad

I hope it all works out for you though.

I really cannot stress enough the importance of Grahams advice, if you stress heaps about it, it will make your new baby an unwanted thing and could destroy the most exciting step you have made since you got your first bike

KB members look after each other and I know someone in the Wellington area will be able to hook you up with the parts and labour you need for a minimum cost

I know if I could get away with it I would get them for you

Head up, helmet on and enjoy your new 400
