Geezer wants to get it serviced before handing it over. Booked in for Tuesday. Is this normal? Just extra diligent?

Odd. I've had buyers insisting its serviced before they stump up the money, but the seller insisting it's done before it goes is just strange. Unless he's just got too much money. Assuming it's a private sale not a dealer. I always ask a dealer to service before purchase.

Not unusual for a dealer but deffo a bit odd for a private sale?

Sounds like he's a decent sort and maybe the service was already planned and he wants everything to be right.Docca wrote: Sat May 06, 2023 9:09 pm Geezer wants to get it serviced before handing it over. Booked in for Tuesday. Is this normal? Just extra diligent?

I rode a Rocket 3 in Aus ( Sydney). Loved it, but this is about a culture thing for me. I think. Never owned a Harley and it was on the bucket list

The plus side is,when you come to sell/trade Harleys have great residual value.rodbargee wrote: Sun May 07, 2023 2:41 pm IHired a heritage harley when we visited the states a decade ago it was slow hinged in the middle ( least that"s what it felt like) Frugal (I'll give you) Did I say it was slooow but nice for the day I hired it in its context, Arizona.

Slight delay: it’s with the Harley dealer fitting a new odometer. Should be fitted Tuesday.
I have today however sold my Guzzi. Loved that bike.

I chopped my Harley Davidson in for a Honda and now have a Guzzi. Really disliked the Harley after a year or ownership, but have already bonded with the Guzzi.

Nope. Still waiting on a part

So the deal is off. A mix of waiting too long for it to be fixed ( which it now is) and other bikes needed to be lined up.
I have my eye on another one. Could pick it up this weekend. The guys only owned it since March though. Would that put anyone off?

Bought it when it was cold and damp in March, didn't ride it until May when it warmed up and decided he didn't like it?
Did he suggest a reason for selling it?

To be fair, lots of people buy Harleys and love them initially, but then cant live with them and they sell them on. When I had my Sportster we had a lot of new members come and go on the facebook page.Docca wrote: Thu May 25, 2023 6:28 pm So the deal is off.
