Which VIN is mine ??????
The first of this month the wife and I traded our bikes, 04 sporty & 07 FXD, in for an 08 FLHTC. Had an 04 FLHT and never should have got ride of it. But,I digress. Well about a two weeks later, after I registered it, I get a call from the Stealer. The VIN of the bike that I am driving around is not the same as the sales contract I signed or the registration paperwork has on it. The DMV does not req. a check on new bikes bought in state. So, I moving in a month to FL. What do you think I should do. So far they say they'll take care of everything. But, as each day goes by I get closer to moving. Any thoughts?
Yeah I know new PIC's comming.

Ohh you gots a mess. which vin number is insured? What happens if the bike gets wrecked, whos stuck for it? Is the vin number the one you are supposed to have? I think ya'll ought to take the bike back to the dealer and tell them ya want the right bike or the right paperwork or your money back along with any interest. Just in case have a number of a good lawer if needed.

This is something they should have fixed for you yesterday. At the minimum I would demand an immediateletter from the manager detailing the issue and outlining how they plan to resolve this issue. If they balk I'd call H-D corporate while I stood in their showroom. Good luck..

(Jinks) Daytona Beach and the whole VIN is wrong. Geico didn't have a problem switching the numbers around, so at least it's insured. I am being calm for now. But, I have Hewy, Louie and Screwm on speed-dial. Pretty big SNAFU if youask me. They just act like, oops that was a mistake. Make's it hard to recommend a stealer in the town next to Las Vegas. I don't want to mention there name....Yet.

Wow, that's a pretty big f*ck up by the dealer!
Sounds like there are two options to fix it: either they fix the paperwork to match the bike they gave you; or else they have you bring in the one you've been riding on for two weeks and give you the "right" one. If it's the latter, I'd make damn sure there weren't any miles on the "right" one. If there are (i.e. if they gave your bike to someone else), you just bought a demo, not a new bike.
If you've paid for any service or accessories on the original one they gave you, I'd expect them to fix that too.
I wouldn't ride the one they gave you until this is all sorted out. And I'd expect them to sort it out immediately.

When you get settled in ping me. I'm in Ormond Beach which is basically Daytona north. Will you be completely new to the area, or have you spent time here before?
