Title: CBR More or less sold
Post by: Daniely on April 19, 2005, 07:35:27 PM
Well, i worked a deal with a chick in roseville, shes going to make three payments of 500 bucks, but i hang onto the bike AND the pink until all the payments are made. This way, I get all 1500 that I was asking, and It gives me time to find new clipons and controls for the bike. In about a week and a half i get the first payment when she comes down to check the bike out in person.

Indeed, AND should she stop making payments at any time, I get to keep any money put down. So its WIN WIN For me, hopefully she defaults :).

Sorry to be pessimistic, but there's this thing: If it can go wrong, it will go wrong.  What could happen is you mess up that bike in the meantime and your whole plan falls through.  I think you are safer not to ride it and to consider it hers after her first payment is made.

This kind of "liquidated damages" clause would never stand in court.  No court would let her pay 1499 and you just keep it if she doesn't make the extra dollar.  The amount you keep should be reasonable estimate of what you sacrificed by taking it off the market and not taking another buyer or putting work into fixing it up, like 500 dollars or something.

just because a lawyer writes it up doesn't mean it will stand up in court.... BUT... most people don't know and think if they signed it, it is a done deal, I doubt you have much to worry about.

danny....the bike has seen 10x more down time then ride time in the two months you've had it....I doubt you have such a serious attachment to it yet....that takes at least 3 months and 3 rides (not crashes)....you may have a bit of stockholm syndrome....thinking you have an attachment to your tormentor, but it's really just the fake love most honda owners feel within the first few months of ownership (pablo replies with a here)....once you get back on a suzuki you'll quickly remember what a motorcycle is supposed to be like....

lol. Granted I did crash twice on the CBR, once on my own accord (0 mph drop skitching) and once, well, yea on my own accord again. But I did have ALOT of great rides on the thing before this happened, lol.
