Okay here is my story.....I pick up my buddy (saturday), trailer in tow and head down to Atlanta Triumph with tentative plans of bringing back a T-100. Its a bright sunny day, warm, bit of a breeze. Perfect day to break in a Bonnie or so I think.
We arrive and I make comment of the happy ending spas that surround the dealership. Hey maybe it makes for low rent which may equate to a good deal on a bike :razz:
I talk to the guy everything is going well, I check out the Thruxton and the white and tangerine bonnie and ultimately have to go with the bonnie.....we move to his office to talk turkey....
Now I came prepared.....I am a USAA member so I had a promissory note in hand from my bank just in case it all worked out. We hammered out a good deal.....and I made the call to my bank to give them all the info....MSRP etc etc......the girl put me on hold and while I sat there I filled out the promissory note....entering in the OTD price. Keep in mind the OTD price was a little higher than the number I gave the loan officer due to a helmet purchase etc....
She came back on the line and told me I was authorized to write the promissory check for an amount that was $400 less than I had written it for. As they would not cover the check for an amount greater than the collateral value of the bike.....this was a problem.
I had already put ink to paper on the promissory note.....there was no going back. I could not edit the thing.....the only thing i could do was.....
Request a new promissory note which will arrive Monday....and come back on Tuesday when the dealer re-opened to finally get my bike.....
I left with only a helmet......I told my buddy it was like about to make love with a supermodel only to have my only condom break just before the act......
So come Tuesday I will make my grand debut....
