I went and looked at the new bike.
Get this: I arrived and there is a "sold" sign on it. Made sense because I agreed to the MSRP plus a small premium for this model. (Since its very limited production.)
I've purchased six new and two used bikes from this dealership....same salesman since 1999.
I sat on it and noticed it felt very thin and small. Much tinier than my 1400r.
This is only a 1000cc. But it has a supercharger!
I looked over and saw myself sitting on it in the mirrored wall.
Almost Immediately I Heard Someone from across the room for me to get off of the bike. It was the manager. New kid. I'd never met him before. I told him it's ok because I had purchased it.
He paused and then told me that the person that purchased it was in finance "right now".
I walked over to finance and found my salesman, Emil, standing there. He looked at me like he just saw a ghost.
I raised my arms in a W.T.F.? motion.
He said he wasn't sure I wanted it. We had discussed it for weeks. It was ordered for me.
I walked out without speaking.
Any way two good things happened: 1...The next time I go in there I'll be treated like a king. AND 2, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked like a Bigfoot sitting on a bicycle. It was too tiny for me.
At about $30k, I have NO business buying a toy. I need to get serious about downsizing going into retirement!
So, in reality. It's all good.
Kelly agreed that I could buy it to make me happy.
Funny. But I am.

What do you ROOMIES think about a phone number exchange?
Maybe shared by Email?
I'm not sure that I've placed an international phone call since I had a pen pal in Sweden in about 1976.
But I for one would like to speak to you all in person from time to time.

it's funny how life works out like that sometimes sounds like you definitely have came out on top of that situation right enough

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Yep. Protected from my own idiotic impulses.

it sounds like a brilliant idea to me . I'm not sure how it all works but perhaps 'skipe' is the best way to go?

... that being said, an old fashioned telephone call on a home phone does have a more personal touch

 

[johnandjade]

Yep. Protected from my own idiotic impulses.

expensive ones too! like you say, next time you go in you'll have best of service

 

[ZEROPILOT]
