RE: RECENT PURCHASE
If the guy ever sobers up and realizes what he did, you might have a legal problem if he wants to pursue it. Taking advantage of an obviously drunk seller, let alone contributing to his getting more drunk wouldn't fly here in NY, seller was in no condition to agree to the terms of the contract. You scored a cheap bike and are bragging like you hit the lottery. Good luck dude. After reading the post and replies, all I can say is +1 on Kharma.

Not cool. I never take advantage ofa drunk. It's like taking advantage of a Kid. [:-]
Sober.... different story.[8D]
I agree with others. Keep yur eyes open. things come back around.

What bothers me with this story is that the guy may well have only been "made a fool of" in misjudging your character. He may well have simply liked you, believed some bs sob story you told him and decided to cut you a deal on a bike he won in a poker game the weekend before. Rather than simply being happy and content about your perceived great deal you have to insult the guy. A guy that, for all you know, is on this board or has friends that will recognize the bike on the board. He may well have been feeling all happy he sold you the bike and this childish bs may change that to feeling sorry he sold you the bike at any price. Considering your attitude I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you didn't know exactly what was wrong with it because you cut the wire when you got there.
What goes around does come around. I really doubt you just act this way on this board, but rather it's likely an accurate representation of what you're really like. Maybe you suppliment your income, or maybe make your entire income, buying and selling bikes. If so you might consider how much more you might make if you viewed what you do as a service rather than simply as playing people for fools. I would neither buy nor sell to you at any price simply because of your attitude. There are simply too many other people out there that will provide the service without the attitude. As it stands it seems you don't really have a whole lot of room to talk about the guy that sold you the bike beyond the legend in your own mind.

I agree with the above comment that he took a chance; but my moral code would not have allowed me to "pretend" I didn't know what was wrong. Of all the crap I have to answer-up for when I meet my maker, stuff like that won't be on the list.

If he went in to a dealer & got the owner drunk & made the same deal, panhead would be a hero here. Kind of funny with some of these comments. He made a deal without the bike even starting. I'd say took a chance& rolled the dice & gambled. The engine or tranny could have been shot. If the seller wanted his price the bike should have been running.

RE: RECENT PURCHASE
I don't personally care about the deal with the drunk. He agreed to the deal and did it. I did think the comment about his kids was over the top. Like someone else said, the kids aren't chosing their upbringing. They make the most out of whatever they get dealt by their parents and it sounds like they've been dealt a sh!tty hand. I'm thinking you probably don't have any kids of your own or you probably would have felt bad for them.
