    We have a lot in common in respect to riding and bikes. I'm not retired yet and don't have the disposable income you have, but otherwise.... !

    I guess I used the wrong icon...it was a joke! Our philosophy on riding is the same with the same bike in our past.

    I'm not for Bernie Sanders. I work my ass off everyday dealing with aholes and I'm not jealous of what you have or do. I never got a hand out in my life either.

    I hope you're not as pissed off as this looks...didn't mean to rile feathers.

    My reason for getting rid of my GSXR 1000. When I quit being afraid of it, I realized it was time for a change.
    I'd rather be on my bike thinking about God than in church thinking about my bike.

    Remember not how a man died, but rather how he lived.

    Yes. I specially said this is the price with add ons, tax, tag, title, and all dealer fees.

    So was the 1800.00 just tacked on?
    What was the reason you decided to go with this dealer. The reason i'm asking is I have a few dealers around me but I try and stay local, this dealer did work with you albeit through the back door. I would give them one more chance unless the oreason to them was pricing.

    Yep, the $1800 was just tacked on. The reasoning was they couldn't meet my price. My concern is not with the price they presented. It is in the presentation. I was in the process of signing all of the paperwork when I noticed the difference on the bill of sale. I was the one that had to ask. If I hadn't noticed, I would be $1800 poorer. Only when I asked, did the finance guy tell me they couldn't meet my price.

    The main reason I will not go back is the further insult by not honoring the inclusion of the floorboards and installation. While this was not in the final contract, it was in the initial one and agreed on by the sales guy, parts guy and service guy AND part of all of the discussions. While I agree that this oversight was my fault for not noticing this (I was more concerned with another price problem), there is a huge difference in what is legally right and what is morally/ethically right.

    Good catch, I am really surprised that a dealer would even try that in todays competive business atmosphere

    You can always report them to Honda Corporate Offices.
    Not saying it'll happen but you might get a refund from the dealer if the transaction was not legitimate.
