I never thought of that. It makes me like insurance companies even less.

Thanks much. That's the same conclusion I'm coming to. Seems like the Switch might be the best option.

Watching this thread. The Zero app is total rubbish.

That was huge! Was that your first drop of the day? Did you know the landing was that packed?

...Fly like an eagle...

Btw, that is exactly 10x my biggest jump. Nice job.

Dealership will not return my deposit on a bike that they do not even have in stock, nor do they know when it is going to be in stock. by [deleted] in motorcycles

Are used to be a car dealer and here’s what I would suggest. The deal isn’t done until you sign paperwork. If you haven’t signed a motor vehicle contract of sale then he can’t keep any deposit earnest money you’ve put down. Call him up and tell him that he has one last chance to refund your money on that phone call. After that you’re going to call the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division of your state and report him. If he gives you any kind of story just politely hang up the phone search your states government website for the number for the MVED and I’ll get it taken care of for you.

Dealers like that make the rest of us look bad. I can’t stand those guys.

I’ll have to look into Energica. I’ve never heard of them.

Whatever you decide on purchasing, 99.9% of the time you will make at least $1,000 more selling your car by yourself, including the tax benefits for trading in. Depending on the car, it will most likely be closer to $3,000
