Seriously? I spent over twenty years in the car business and it was NO effort at all to get the finance deal going (only effort was if the buyers credit was bad). I laugh when a dealer says something like that to me. My last car got financed in 15 minutes... Paperwork took another 30.

I have an opportunity to pick up a 1984 928S for a good price but the thought of the cost of maintenance is scaring the crap outta me. Car needs A/C work done which sounds like a common (and expensive) problem with these cars... good luck (can I ask what you paid.. pm if you prefer). Looks...

I doubt the insurance company will want any excess $ back. All they are probably trying to do is ensure they don't pay to have the same items repaired/fixed a second time when they weren't fixed the first time. Years back I had someone run into me and put a scuff on my rear bumper. Rather...

Re: GP Bikes not honoring warranty Note to the OP... Brakes squeak... even ones with lots of life left in the pads. As far as the brake bleed that was broken... if you didn't notice it before leaving the dealer, that's probably why they aren't covering it now. Things break on motorcycles and...

If I were you I'd call the police and see if anything hinky has happened in your neighbourhood in the last while. I always go with my gut feeling and since you felt this guy was out of place perhaps you are right too. Never hurts to check with the police just in case.

You mean a front tire? And if so, are you sure, the tread pattern on a front tire is reverse of the rear tire.

Never heard of that and giving the timing/dates involved I can't see it being an issue. I believe the question I got asked was "have you been insured in the past year" which the OP would be. Gaps of a year or more are what cause problems. To the OP... I wouldn't wait until next spring...

When I got my Triumph the insurance requested the same thing and like you, figured for a few bucks no point in screwing around with any future insurance issue. My dealer recommended a PhantomX alarm which turned out to be a piece of crap. They replaced it with the factory alarm. Probably a...

To me a lowball offer has everything to do with what the seller is asking and NOT what the item is worth. Rather than make an offer on what something is worth I just walk away if the item is overpriced. Usually a seller just gets pi$$ed off when they receive a lowball offer and cuts you off...

It can be done if you and your friend treat it as a lease. That way he/she retains ownership of the bike and you become the plate owner and are allowed to insure it. You'll probably need a lease agreement (you can probably find samples on line) and make sure this is OK with your insurance...

Bob, make sure you think about all options. I often saw people to wanted to keep and fix up their vehicle but taking the money and buying a new one (or used as the case may be) was often the better call. Regardless, sucks that this happened. Ride safe and stay away from old ladies backing up : )

I used to work in the car industry and was often involved in issues such as yours. While it may seem like your (her?) insurance company is trying to screw you over, it most likely is them coming up to what they feel is a realistic value for your bike. No one wants to pay more than something is...

Look at the OP's pic... that can probably best explain the confusion surrounding this post. 1) As far as insuring yourself on someone else's bike. It can be done but needs to be a lease/loan type agreement. Not sure if all insurance companies will accept this. 2) As far as insuring your bike...

If you love your dog, don't do it.

I assume you are already gone... if not, take a look at some of the cities on the train lines. When we drove to NYC we often park in Tarrytown and take the train to Grand Central. The Tarrytown station shares a parking lot with the local police department. Unfortunately that parking is...

If you'd be riding a Harley with straight pipes he would have heard you and never turned into your lane... further proof that loud pipes save lives :lmao: (just joking) Hey, cops are human too and this one apologized for his mistake. More of that attitude would make our roads safer... and...

Not necessarily true. It's common for one person/company to own a vehicle and allow someone else to use/ride it (your typical lease is an example of this). It has to be above board and most likely your insurance company will require written confirmation of the details. That being said, to get...

I don't think they do a check on you when issuing a quote, probably just when the policy is issued. That being said, might be easier/better to check out some on-line quotes that can give you the info you are looking for anonymously. If you feel the ticket will affect your current policy, maybe...

At a bare minimum you should report this to the police. I'm not saying they will do anything, but they will put something on her driving record that can be viewed if she happens to be pulled over or involved in an incident in the future. They also send off a nasty letter that may shake some...
