I finally got ripped off.
I have enjoyed being a motorcycle enthusiast for more that 50 years,currently have several brittish bikes, that I have put my hands on every part to replace or refinish. Most people i deal with are honorable sorts. I enjoy the community and events.
I am having problems with my 72 750 combat. Still havent figured out the problem.could be the head, barrels , timing chest, not sure.
I se an add for parts I might need, a motor and frame basically. I work it out with the seller for price. $1500 He wants a deposit, i tell him no problem i will Zelle you a deposit for $100. he demands $300. ok fine.
He sends me an address in Idaho and confirms an appointment for this past Saturday at 3PM. Confirms it again a couple hours later. Mind you we are almost 500 miles away. My wife and I hop in the truck at 6AM and start our trip from souther Oregon to Boise. too early to call him but we try around 12 noon, no response. show up on time and the folks at the address apparently never heard of him. still trying to call, no response. We stay in a hotel for 2 days hoping he would call, no dice, her ghosted me.
$300 is not the end of the world but to let someone drive 900 miles is a bit sick. I just dont understand the dishonorable conduct of some people.
Wes You have defrauded a 70 year old cycle enthusiast. Your actions, or lack of actually caused myself and my wife do drive 16 hours round trip. I guess I just dont understand your reasoning. Was it for the simple gain of $300? An answer or explanation would do, but dishonest behavior seems to be your way.
