Ok, we pretty much have a deal here. Assuming the bike fits me decently, is pretty much as advertised I will buy it.
I am assuming the tile is clear, so I propose the following:
I will come over Friday, Saturday or Sunday...your choice...and bring 2700 bucks with me. I will check it out in the driveway and if all is good I will commit to the bike 100 percent pending a quick test ride. The test ride will ONLY be to confirm there is no engine or transmission problems. A quick run around the block to run it through the gears (at a very sane speed).
Prior to the test ride I will hand you 2700 dollars. If I drop the bike or do anything to it at all in the slightest you keep the 2700 bucks and hand me the title and we part friends.
Again, no test ride until the only question left in my mind is that the mechanics of the engine and tranny are solid AND you have the cash in your hand. I am sure they are, but I need to hear it.
FWIW, I am old too. I work in IT for a school district and every year have to pass a background check. And everyone here knows me very well.
My real name is Jim, call me at your convenience at . I live in Seven Hills
Edit: And I will bring my own plate and insurance.
EDIT 2: And I am of course open to alternative plans.
