It's blatantly obvious that this guy doesn't want to sell a bike in THIS
group.  You don't win favor by bashing.  Here are the facts regarding me
wanting to buy his bike:

1.  I read an ad saying that he bought this bike on a whim, and his wife
was pissed (LIE #1)

2.  I called him about it, and he told me to come on by.  I made
arrangements to come see the bike.

3.  He told me when I got there that he had no offers on the bike, and
needed to sell it because his new baby was a little more expensive than
he thought it would be. (LIE #2 - he obviously bought this bike with the
intention of making money on it)

4.  I told him that I would be in Las Vegas for the following week, and
I was interviewing for a new job while I was there (I don't consider
this to be 'piddly job-hopping crap') and I was expecting a sign-on
bonus.

5.  I emailed him from Las Vegas to ask if he still had the bike, and he
replied yes, and still no offers.  (LIE #3 - I got this email on
Thursday, and the bike was sold Saturday to a guy in College Station.)

6.  I called him as soon as I hit the ground on Saturday, so I could
come buy the bike on the way home, as my interview had gone well, and I
had the bonus.  As soon as I said who I was, and why I was calling, he
said "I sold it.  take care." and then CLICK! hung up on me.

7.  Now he has another ad claiming that he bought a Kawi bike on a whim
and his wife is pissed.  MY guess is that his wife is happy about the
cash he's making hand over fist by taking advantage of and lying to the
general public.  

This is why I posted a response to a public forum.  To warn all
prospective victims that he is not telling the truth about why he has
the bike, and IMHO, is not telling the truth about where it came from,
what problems it may have, and what kind of previous owner it had.  I am
only trying to keep people from making the same mistake I ALMOST made
myself.
