FOAK : Opinions on "Sale or Return"

Managers clearance special - One Camel, FSH, never raced or rogered.

 

Why would I put a hundred quid on a credit card?

My concern now is getting the first Sport 1000, tbh, which seems much
less likely.

 

Ahh it's only £100, I'd have thought you'd have had to put down a couple
of grand as a deposit.

Yeah, could prove tricky.

 

It's all they wanted.

I'll phone a few other dealers. Like the big one at Angel.

Weren't yuo saying that you won't have a bike for a year or so?
Wouldn't you lose it anyway?

 

No - it would still be valid for however long it's valid - torching the bike
and claiming would mean a claim for the next 3/5 years - not very clever.

Also, I will still be insuring a bike. It just has a few issues that's all.

 

ITYM that's all the bailiffs needed when your phone call came through.

antonye-alike blinkered Ducati brand evangelist. What can I do to
avoid this?

 

Buy a gixxer thou as well.

 

Ask for a spark plug warranty.

 

I may do.

 

That's a cheap jibe at the boy Murray. Good work.

 

My brother used a large dealership in Liverpool to sell his bike when

What dealership was it, out of interest? Got a GN 125 to dispose of
very soon. Would it be worth hanging on till summer next year for a
decent sale price or would it not make much difference now?

Buy a brand new Ducati.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

That's bloody good of them. What I'd call excellent customer service.

 

You'd probably not find BMW doing that.

 

Wait till a few dealers go bankrupt.
