  1. I once dropped a 1991 GSX-R750 as I was lubing the chain. Didn't have a center stand so I would spray a section and then roll bike forward, set on stand and spray some more. I must have pushed bike forward just bit before the stand was completely off the ground forcing it backward just a little bit. I sat the bike on the stand and stepped behind it just in time to watch it roll forward off the stand in slow motion. I grabbed the bike but could not stop the fall entirely. First scratches on that one. Oooops. Didn't do that again.

    Also dropped same bike at Daytona Beach. Wanted to get a picture by the water you know. I knew the sand would not hold bike so I went and found a can to smash and use under kickstand. OK, waves are coming to about here so I will park bike a few feet out of the waves. I walk back to take pictures of my pride and joy on the beach at bike week when Uh oh, rogue wave comes further up than the others and washes sand out from under stand. This tip over also happened in slow motion but I was about 15 yards back trying to get the picture and could not get to the bike fast enough. Luckily just a broken mirror.

  2. I have a dealers license. The fees for Manheim auctions can vary by location, auction type(repo, consignment, specialty) and sale price. The fees are generally pretty reasonable.

    If you are purchasing at an auction in Ohio, the tax you pay on the vehicle will not be any different than buying at a dealer. It just depends what the sales tax rate is in your location. If the auction is in another state it could vary depending whether they have a sales tax reciprocity agreement with Ohio or not.

  3. here is adesa's guidlines about IF's.

    be consummated and final when the auctioneer calls out

    the Buyer’s bid badge number and the block clerk records

    that sale and all of the specific terms thereof.

    Notwithstanding the above, “if” sales shall be final and

    binding only when the highest bid is accepted by the Seller

    and recorded or a subsequent offer or counteroffer is

    accepted and recorded.

    Again, these are real auctions. now you can clearly see I'm not an idiot and I know what I'm talking about. all you little smart asses can go suck a fat cock.

    You have been to a couple auctions and now you are an expert. NOT!

    I am a licensed dealer and you don't know what your talking about. You are comparing two completely different types of sales at real auctions. If the ebay seller did not have a reserve it is just like selling a car at auction with NO reserve. If I run a car through any reputable auction as NO RESERVE and it brings a bid of any amount, it is SOLD to the highest bidder. Good luck trying to get out of a deal that was run as NO RESERVE. It won't happen.

    An "if" sale only applies if the seller has set a reserve price on the vehicle. Since the ebay sale was NO RESERVE you cannot compare it to an "IF" sale at a real auction. You should really get your facts straight before you start name calling and telling people to suck cock.
