Are you guys REALLY serious about answering this guy??? I mean C'MON....second post AND joined today not to mention (which I will anyway) do ya really think someone's going to spend money to service his bike when he can't even afford to PAY FOR IT [:@] JEEEZ
YES! It does happen. This past yearI've had 3 cars come into the service department that were hotter than an 50 cent hooker at shore leave. All three 'owners' went away in handcuffs to explain it to the judge. A few years ago, someone stole a car off the lot, then brought the car in for service 3 weeks later! I couldn't make this stuff up-people are that stupid.

That's great..........you gotta love the stupidity of the criminal mind.......just sayin

I know in the automotive world, the finance arm will contact the dealer(s) and askto be notified if the bike comes in. Been there-Done that. And yes, the dealership has sold cars to individuals only to not receive the first payment. It's amazing how long it takes to reel one of those back in. However, once you are over 90, you're done. You may as well turn the bike in and save them the trouble.
Exactly...You bring that thing in for servicing, and it won't leave the dealer again. (at least not in YOUR possession). It will show a flag as soon as they enter the VIN into the computer.

Don't know what the problem is, guy seems legit ot me. That's a pretty reasonable question to ask on a Harley forum too.

Dude's probably just going through a bad time, needs the bike for work or whatever, as it's cheap to run, and just needs a little advice. I'd sure as hell would want to know if the dealer comms with the repo guys.

And yeah, if I was the repo guy you bet i'd contact all the dealers or indy's in the area.

Good luck to you man, hope you get out of the bind your obviously in.

I'm confused exactly what makes him sound credible to you????????????The fact that he's concerned about servicing a bike he can't pay for(which if he defaults you and I are going to be paying foreventually)OR the fact that he's stupid enough to take it back to the dealer he probably financed it through?????? Which one is it???

Oh...wait a minute..I forgot to throw in "no dis-respect intended" so people don't get their"feelings" hurt

If in fact his question is genuine,,,then he's got way more problems then we can ever imagine.
He basically(in Harleys eyes) stole something & he wants to know if it's OK to bring it to them to work on it.Come on now,,,,,this is the biggest no brainer I have ever seen.
