No need to jump into a thread simply to troll someone you don't like for the singular purpose of calling him an *******, either. Just a little friendly advice, I would tone it down if I were you. You have no idea how close you likely came to getting banned, possibly permanently, in your most recent thread.

Just sayin'. I really don't care, either way.

Everybody has cranky days and they are more frequent during this Chinese virus lockdown.



93% of communication is nonverbal. That means in email or forums such as this, you miss 93% of the meaning. That leaves you to operate on only 7% of the information available and fill in the rest which may or may not be accurate.

I studied this extensively and took a course on it related to police work.

Lol I have a pretty interesting story on this matter.

I bought my old Night Train from this woman, let's call her Pissed Off Ex Wife, or POEW for short. POEW was the second owner on the "either/or" pink slip (important detail for later). Turns out she co-signed for hubby, but after the divorce he defaulted and stopped making payments. POEW paid off the remaining $6500 on the loan to protect her own credit, REPO'd the bike herself (she rode a Road King), and sold it to me for the amount she was out of pocket, the $6500. SCORE! Few years down the line, I am trying to sell the Night Train. Hubby comes across the ad, and blows up my email threatening to sue me for fraud and theft if I didn't give him the keys because he never gave POEW permission to sell "his" bike. Told him to get ****ed, and that wasn't how the pink slip worked. He continued to threaten me with legal repercussions. I dug up his Facebook, got his picture, found his address on an old photo of the old title (that's how I confirmed who he was) and emailed him my little dossier and threatened to report him to the police if he ever emailed me again. Never even got a response.

I don’t get attached to material things. That includes bikes, cars, and even houses. I compartmentalize the good memories and experience, and try to enjoy the present.

Any decision I make to sell a bike or car is well thought out before I move forward. As the saying goes, Only a fool trips over what’s behind him.
