Best way to wash a '99 Copper Hayabusa?

[84Ninja]

99- Thanks, I have already checked the VIN and the bike is clean and clear. Honest!

 

[SANDFLEA85]

ok,so did you get the keys "OVER NIGHTED" To you? if so you should be out riding today

 

[84Ninja]

Hey DEVL- You would think, but no tags!!

What's the tracking # say...

 

[84Ninja]

Hi TX! No tracking # yet. He seems to be a very nice gentleman, but everything takes him time to do.

I was looking at the bike last night and am amazed how good she looks for a ten year bike. The 2 previous owners really took care of her. VERY clean. One of the owners must've been really heavy, because the front corners of the seat has removed some copper paint.(maybe he did lots of wheelies? (front tire bald, small crack under top fairing). I'm itching just to start her up and hear the engine

 

[BigBSBusa]

I'll be glad to see you get the keys and eliminate the feeling of suspiciousness.

 

[84Ninja]

Thank you BIG. I appreciate that. Will keep you posted when (if) they come.hopefully today!

"the shipper wants it sent seperately"

are you kidding me?

what about what the BUYER wants!!!

I think you got screwed..post the vin#

yea most shippers do that for security reasons. When my brother bought his bike from a guy in indiana, the keys were mailed to me when they picked the bike up. They strapped and wrapped the bike to a pallet so there is no need for them to have the keys at all.

well let us know how everything comes out cause i would be getting a little worried by now

Had mine shipped from ohio to philly...keys in it,I had the title overnited to me though before I paid for the bike and had an address for the seller since i was mailing ck,,,I would have been at his front door with an 8hr ride if there was a problem with anything

you have more patiences then me, bro..wonder if it were the other way around and he was waiting to get paid,would he settle to hear that the ck came back to you..doubt it,something just doesnt seem right that you are still waiting for keys.its been 6 days since you recieved the bike,your first post was 8/3,its 8/9 and no keys yet???

and why no tag yet? if you have the title go get it registered and get a temp tag???

The keys would be nice, but you could take the vin to the dealer and order a key for it. They should be able to cut it from the numbers. You will have to have the title or prove that you own it. Good luck, and I bet you are excited!

Agree with you, James, but he shouldn't have to do that. Maybe less of a thing if he had gotten a he!! of a deal on the bike, but it doesn't appear so.

Hi Guys. I paid $6k for the bike, plus shipping ($800). I am wise on scammers...this guy never showed one indication he is one. You never know though! I think he is either very busy (like he says) or just lackadaisical. He's never been rude, pushy, or negative. Always very respectful and good mannered.

Last night I was on YouTube looking at hayabusa burnouts just to satiate my desire to ride!! You don't see too many copper Busas on there (only 2). Some of the guys on there really beat the hell out of their bikes. I feel sorry for them.

Sweet looking '99 glad to see you got it..

Hope you get the keys and title thing worked out..

You're killin' me man...where are the keys!

No tracking number! No keys and title! I'd be threating him on the law for fraud and whatever else you can think of! Being lazy or busy is one thing! He had time to go to the post office twice once to send originally only to tell you it came back. Why it come back. Usually when you go to mail stuff like that is is over the counter and passes though their hands. Threats of involving the police should maybe speed up the process. He just made 6k think he can afford to take time to ship it correctly. I know this is the weekend atm,but If you don't get some sort of proof that he sent it off by monday nite Is when I would start with the "getting the law involved" stuff. Good luck I know you itching to start her up!

*** Before you start her up make sure you got proper amount coolant and oil in her. Also it helps to know which type oil he used. Syn or reg. Type of coolant.Mixing isn't suggested.

Agree

Id be pissed,should have had a tracking# on the keys,atleast you would know he sent something and when you would recieve it.

Id go try an register it.

do you even have the title?

?

?

?

 

[JBradley0181]

Did you see a copy of the title like him scan it and send it that way it might be he didnt pay the loan and is waiting for the title.keys now are another story they should of been mailed the next day along with any other items or papers he has for the bike let us know when you get that little girl started

Thank guys

You are right, if I don't get anything today I'm going to quit being Mr. nice guy. I don't know what it is about human nature, but I really try to treat everyone else like I want to be treated. Seems the majority of people just figure they can be lax with me since they consciously or subconsciously interpret my niceness as weakness. I'm having this problem with more than enough people, currently. I never want to be a hard-ass with people and want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I just get sh!t on.

Will let you guys know what happens tonight...

Very well put and I can relate very well. Every time I get totally fed up someone great comes along and restores my faith, and the circle starts over again. Hang in there and let's hope for the best
