What? its just a criminal offence that prevents you from going into near any professional job + the near 100 % chance of not getting the loss covered. its not like the OP is young and as a future ahead of him...

The guy agreed to give it to me for 2800$. Now the only issue is picking it up, any ideas?

Also he told me"It has a damaged break lever and some very minor scratches the person that had it before me dropped it but I had no problem getting a safety and I've never had one problem with the bike" also he assured there are no cracks on the fairings, only minor scratches.

WTF??? Kijiji ad: "there is nothing wrong with it"... So I guess scratches, dropped and broken brake lever don't count?

That's why I hate ****ing Kijiji. A guy is selling "used for 2 months" speakers, ask for the model number, look them up, discontinued in 2007! lol. I get a smokin price on them from the guy anyway, says they "work perfect". I bug him about the condition (cause there's no pics), he says "perfect, can't tell they were ever used".

I go to pick them up, 45 min ****ing drive, both dust caps on the tweeters are dented in, you can see they have gotten wet (car door speakers) because the label is stained and rotted off, and he's missing the connector to hook them up (some weird plug). Like ****, I should just ***** slap you for wasting my time :(

I ended up buying them for $5, they work and sound fine, but don't fit in the damn door pods. I measured the stock speaker, 6.2" O.D. WTF?! :( Crutchfield AND Sonic, and the prelude forums ALL said 6.5" speaker in there :(

Oh well, got it fabbed up and workin.

Thanks Mate. Your post prompted me to call the ministry and I told them my ordeal about living 2 places(both with family) and they said you can choose either address as your residence. Given i contribute to my parents Mortgage I am more entitled to call it my home address. So no insurance Fraud. And about the Future....Only God knows.
 
It's not the MTO's call. Your insurance company is who will decide what the risk address is. If you live at location A 3 days a week and location B 4 days a week your risk address is location B. You need to be rated at the location that the vehicle is primarily parked at.
 
I wouldn't be looking for a mint bike as your first bike. Most people drop/slide their first bike, me included. I bought a minorly rashed bike and it left with a few more minor rashes. You'll be very disheartened (and out some value) if you do go for a slide. I'm not talking wrecked or bent frames, just cosmetic imperfections. Keep an open mind.

AC's has some scratched fairings on one of the sides, still a huge bargain but I believe Freak wants no scratches

True. I will keep it in mind. I think the psychology of driving a mint bike plays a big factor but practically you are on the ball. Thanks.

True. I will call insurance and confirm. Thanks for the help again. Hopefully its Whitby or its insurance rape :p
 
Just keep looking and be patient. Supply is low due to spring time and a lot of riders are looking for one. Don't let the high km's turn you off also, these bikes are meant to be ridden, as long as it's properly maintained. If the seller doesn't even bother to give it a quick wash and shine before showing you the bike, I'd walk away. A technically sound bike, imho, is worth more than one that only looks good cosmetically. Scratches on fairings should not affect a bike's performance. My riding group had 4 people who just recently sold their 250's....

I always have trouble with the word "mint". To me, that's like a baseball card taken out of the package, handled only once by the edges softly and put into a protective case forever.... that's mint.

Thanks for the encouragement. I will keep the "mint" thing in mind. Man i just getting accustomed to the lingo.

I had issues understanding stuff when i 1st came in. For example back home, 420 means someone who is a cheater. When i went on criagslist and saw people posting 420 friendly, i was like WTF? how can anyone be cheater friendly. Another example is my brother, we would play GTA San Andreas for hours when we came in(didnt have a job and lots of time on hand). He got a job with Bestbuy and called his manager The N word because it was used in the game and he didn't know it doesn't work that way. Thanks God the manager laughed it off and understood the context. Had a few similar incidents before i understood the linguistics here.
