Exactly! The bad part is he thought this was the "deal of a lifetime". Had it been me, I wouldn't have given the chick more than $150 for the both of them with titles.

On Friday I received a call at work from a chick who was "moving to Florida" and has 2 CT 70's for sale, cheap. So, I send over a guy from the shop with explicit instructions on calling me with the frame numbers of the bikes BEFORE giving her the check. I also told him to check her driver's license and copy all the information. Did he? Nope. She tells him her DL number, he never checks it or calls me with the frame numbers. So, what did he bring back to the shop? Not one, but two bikes with the frame numbers ground off. I was beyond upset. Told him to take them back, drop them in the front yard if no one was there and tell the chick that I have stopped payment on the check. He did take them back. If the chick was there, she didn't come out of the house but sent some young kid out. Shop dude tells him these bikes were ot at some point and here ya go - here's your bikes back. Chick never called the shop again - hmmm. So, just for chits and giggles I ran her name through the local court search. Multiple charges for RSP and forgery. Lesson - never do business outside the shop, ever.

Hey Curby, who are you? Send me a message through the contact form on SpikesShineShop.com. Just a little fyi - the bike shop is Spike's Shine Shop and the coffee shop/cafe inside is Coffee & Chrome. We'll be open in about 2 weeks - a little behind schedule, but nearly there!

How about a Honda Rebel? Great price and a super low, really light bike for a beginning rider.

Dude, you just ain't right!

Blatantly racist or not... it tastes good!

First things first -- we do chicken, the best BBQ chicken you have ever tasted. Grown right here in NEO, and cooked by the Mr. Chicken himself. Now, dates have to be decided -- I think after my lot is finished, we can probably get 200 bikes in there easily. No problem with cooking or feeding that many folks, may have to get the folks over at the beverage distributor to bring the beer wagon as SSS does not sell liquor -- that's no biggie there. Our shop opening is currently scheduled for April 2010 and we seem to be moving right along on target. The demo on the other buildings will be shortly thereafter, so by the time it's riding weather and warm enough to hang out, we'll be ready. Unless, someone else wants to volunteer their space -- and I'm okay with that too.

Well, Spike's Shine Shop and the Coffee & Chrome cafe should be up and running by then.... but alas, we are in Canton. This is part of the reason we decided to open -- great place to hang out, etc. I'll post some pics of the construction progress...
