    I researched my post. I thought he said it was a Tribute.

    I'm speechless. It's amazing. You think you can throw a bike in their face that you already signed papers on as leverage to getting them to refund the warranties? Seriously, you need a social advocate to help yourself. Find a mentor. Something tells me this won't be the only time you get screwed.

    I wonder if they gave him the common decency of a reach around...

    Nice R1

    I don't recall what my OTD price was for the R1, but I admit it was one of the worst deals I ever got on a new sportbike.

    So that's what happened there.

    Joe: Seriously, I know you will not listen and/or already closed on the gixxa. But I would certainly take an MSF course before you do any more street riding. After all, you did total a couple of bikes in the past couple of years, did you not?

    I would normally say that it is not our business to tell you what to do, but you did post all that info in a public forum and you did ask for our opinion.

    Well, in my rumble opinion you need to start making responsible financial decisions. You also need to make sure that you are going to be safe on a motorcycle.

    I'm speechless at that.


    Joe: it is your life. You do whatever makes you happy. However, assuming I'm right about you totaling twice in two years, I would take some time to reflect and figure what's best you.

    Be safe out there.

    The first one was his bike being ran over or backed into while parked, how does that reflect in his riding ability at all?????????? Learn the facts before you criticize people. I agree ass packing a car is something you can totally blame on him but you really have no right to blame a bike being hit while parked on him or his riding ability. None of us have even ridden with the guy so none of us really have the right to criticize. I agree his purchasing decisions are not the smartest and he freaks out way to much about maintence, but how he wants to spend his money is his choice.

    Like I said "assuming I'm right about you totaling twice in two years". And, more importantly, as far as I'm concerned all I provided was constructive feedback - something that most people would appreciate.
