I gave them a extra day to "Prep" the scooter and to mount the luggage box. I said to expect me early Saturday morning..The box was not mounted. I was with a friend that has had cycles in the past and I was showing him the choices and because I was a bigger frame that I was going to get the catalina. The owner of the store was busy trying to sell another bike and I was checking things out ..as best as I know how..and I pulled back on the throttle and it was stuck wide open. The owner told me he saw the mechanic check out the bike..and also the carburator was not adjusted. Well the mechanic didn't come in that morning. The owner had promised me he would be there to go over the scooter with me and show me how to change out transmission fluid..oil and such...So I got tough and started to state how unhappy I was and this was a safety issue. He had maybe 5 other people in the store looking at scooters..imagine that ..gas $3.50 a gallon here in MS. He offered to get that bike fixed and I said no. I told his secertary that I was going to cancel the deal and that I have checked and could get the same bike for $400 cheaper online and that the only reason I got from him was because of acces to a mechanic. So I left very disgruntled. I called up later and told them I was going to cancel and would bring the title back Monday..I financed part of it and the company cut them a check. He offered to order me a new bike..not good enough..I am a casino dealer and working Part time delivering pizzas for a small pizza place during the day and have gotten the OK to use a scooter..got to find a box like in S.E. Asia that they use for deliveries. ....anyway. He offered to order a new bike...told him I was going to build a kydex box this weekend to fit the bike. He had just sold his last 250cc Bali and offered a free upgrade if I would wait to order..I would pay the difference in sales tax..Ok..that will work. I also said he has a in house 6 mos warranty..make it 1 year and the bike had to be totally prepped and checked out. He told me thankyou for working it out with him and he will order the bike Monday...should have it in 5 days.
