edge Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 ebay Nero CorsaDoes anyone know who won this? Nice pick up! 61088[/snapback] Don't know but I stopped by that dealer a few months ago to strech my legs during a couple hundred miler and that bike was very sharp... The wife would not have understood the trade
richard100t Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 He's been on here asking questions lately. The winner of the Nero that is. I forget what he wanted to know, it was either something about soft valves or if he was tall enough for a v11, something like that.
Blackkat Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 ebay Nero CorsaDoes anyone know who won this? Nice pick up! 61088[/snapback] I bid on the it before I left for the Maryland/DC rally but I didn't think that I would win the bike because I just bid the asking price. I was surprised that no one bid on the bike. Anyone know this dealer? Tom
orangeokie Posted September 26, 2005 Author Posted September 26, 2005 . . . Anyone know this dealer? Tom 61259[/snapback] I guess you will get to know him real soon. Congrats on the pickup. You got a great price on a beautiful classic!

Blackkat Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks. It is a great price. Tom 61261[/snapback] Oh well, because I went to the Maryland rally and didn't respond in time, the dealer backed out of the deal. Tom
edge Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Anyone know this dealer? 61259[/snapback] I spoke with the owner(?) for about an hour early this summer. I think he is a former Army Ranger instructor from Alaska and apears to be running a shop that specializes in two of his passions; Kyaking and out-door adventure gear and Italian Motorcycles (must be nice). He didn't have a lot of Gguzzi-Aprilla stock but looked like it was working at a low end sort of way. There was more white-water types in the store during the short time I there. Not sure about the maintenace end of things either. I think he has an assembler and someone that can do warranty work and basic tuning. The owner's focus while I was there apeared to be more dialed into what was earning his living... boats and gear.. He did give me a free Guzzi sticker and spent some time chatting V11s
Blackkat Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 The owner's focus while I was there apeared to be more dialed into what was earning his living... boats and gear.. 61323[/snapback] I was willing to buy the bike at his asking price but he was unwilling to sell me the bike......at his asking price. I am not too happy but not much I can do about it now. Tom
badmotogoozer Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 That's just poor form! I hope he didn't leave you negative feedback... Rj
Blackkat Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 That's just poor form! I hope he didn't leave you negative feedback... Rj 61333[/snapback] I don't think he will because I have a feeling he is glad the deal fell through. I talked to him and he was rather adamant about the 48 hour deposit. I told him that I was at a Moto Guzzi rally(Maryland/DC) and didn't get the notice that I won until I got home after the 48 hour time line. I would have thought that when one sets a minimum bid that that is what they need at a MINIMUM. Technically it is my fault but never had this happen to me before. The closing time for the bidding was about 4pm on Friday and I bid about five minutes before I left for the rally. I would have had to Fedex him a deposit (try getting a certified check or money order; certainly not cash) on Friday night for him to get it by Saturday. I may appeal this to e-Bay and see what they say. Tom This dealer is 250 miles from my location.
