  1. I bought my 90 Ex500 from them and I will just say this: buy with extreme caution from them. They are indeed incredibly shady and unwilling to take any sort of responsibility for their own negligence. Case in point: I bought the bike in April of 2007, being much too excited about owning a bike to know what to look for in terms of potential problems with a motorcycle. The bike had 11,000 miles on it and the fairing was pretty much fubar: no side panels, jacked up rear piece with taillight encasing and a jacked up after market front fairing. I paid 2,000 for the bike under the conditions that Frank Ferri (watch out for his shadiness) give the bike a full tune up and let me know if anything else needed replaced. Let's also not forget that the shady ba#tard tried to tell me that the mufflers that were on there, some pos Cobra F50s were worth 500 dollars. So, I show up to the buy bike and practice in the lot for a bit until I decide to practice riding down some local side streets. Within two minutes of getting into a ghetto neighborhood, the bike stalls out and will not start up again. So, I call them from my cell phone and Frank answers and says that I probably ran out of gas. F*cking a##hole has the audacity to neglect to mention to me he didn't put any gas in the bike, nor did he offer to bring me gas. I had to go door to door in the ghetto asking to borrow a gas can, and walk two miles to the nearest gas station. So then, within the second week of owning the bike, the clutch cable snaps. I was livid and called asking him how he expects me to believe that this thing would snap in less than two weeks of ownership, especially after I specifically asked that he look over things that might be in need of replacement and let me know and I would pay for the m from the onset. So, I have to pay to have the bike towed to their shop and he wasn't even willing to fix the cable for free. Cost me 20 bucks (keep in mind I've learned a great deal by now, and can do this myself). He replaces the cable and then two weeks later the thing snaps again. I'm completely bewildered at this point and I file a complain with the BBB. In the meantime, I replace the clutch cable this time around myself and it's been golden a year and a half later. Never had anything resolved via the BBB other than them getting a permanent bad mark. Sorry for the long story, but after all the help I've been given by members of this forum with my bike, I couldn't stand to see you get screwed. Tread carefully.
  2. Nice pics man, not to mention the sweet videos.
  3. As long as it's not raining I'll be there.
  4. Yeah, I love riding into work. Chilly in the morning, but like you said, nice on the way home
  5. Well as long as the 40 year old women are exceptionally obese, I'm game. Bwahaha...
  6. Well, I live about 5 minutes from downtown ... in Upper Arlington, but I work about a minute away from Hubbard and High. I work at a place called SOS Video Communications that is a couple blocks North of Park St and Goodale.
  7. Hey everyone, I just joined after hearing about this place from flounder. I've been riding for a year and have never had a chance to ride with someone so I'm hoping to fix that sometime in the near future with the help of this forum. I live pretty close to downtown Columbus and I saw a posting from Satan about a Thursday bike night starting up next month -- I plan on checking it out. Have a good one.
