Sold my motorcycle back in September to a seemingly nice gentlemen who lives in the Bay Area. It was a BMW R1200RT, so not an el' cheapo bike but not the tops. This isn't the first motorcycle I've sold, but yet, this is the only one I've ever had someone keep calling me. I wrote the sale up as "used, no warranty"....as to be expected and he didn't even comment on that.
The first time, he dropped the bike. He asked if there's anything he should do before riding again. After laughing to myself, I said no. He said he came to a stop, and put his foot down in mud. So...Not sure why he's riding a 110% street bike in mud, but to each their own.
The second time, he's called about what oil to use on oil changes. I'm guess he can't Google.
Anyways, about every 3 weeks, he calls me up asking for something or how to do something or whatever. Well. Now he's calling about an alarm system I installed on the bike. He called me on Monday, left a voicemail. On my voicemail, I clearly state that I don't check my voicemail. I finally checked it today, had 12 voicemails from various people - people don't listen I guess.
Now he's moaning that the alarm system I installed isn't functioning properly. Apparently, in the mean time, he ordered a BMW alarm system remote control from the dealer...the alarm system is not BMW and I never stated it was and the remote I gave him doesn't say BMW. So, now he's complaining that I should reimburse him for the cost of the BMW remote since the existing remote doesn't work. I asked if he has the new BMW remote, he said no and that the dealer will have it next week. I just mentioned that since you have haven't taken ownership of the remote, you should be able to a refund...'Go call them now and cancel it!' Arggg.
As nicely as I could, I said that I won't be paying for the remote. I told him where the alarm is located (once again) and quick steps on how to remove the alarm system.
I'm generally an easy going guy, get along with anyone, and do whatever it takes to make whatever right.
Thanks for letting me vent. Probably going to just add to my block list, yes, I know passive aggressive. But, meh... \/\/uteva
