Hi guys (and girls)
I was traveling on business and just got back. To get everyone on the same page. This bike belonged to Mike, he is the son of Butch who are the owners of Butch's husqvarna (http://www.butchshusqvarna.com/). I own a bunch of bikes which also includes Honda four strokes, an KTM LC4, VFR Intercepetor etc, I am also a marketing manager of a big manufacturing company that installs equipment accross the world...so my back ground is major technical and I am not an idiot when it comes to bikes. Mike raced in the North Dakota motocross series and his number was 274. I took a friend out there to look at the bike (he is also a big biker) and everything looked good on normal view of the bike...I never looked at the frame since I felt more at ease since it belonged to the owner. I asked 3 (three) times if there was anything wrong with the TC to their knowledge...and three (3) times they said no. The bike was actually pretty cheap and that made me wonder, but again, it belonged to the owner and I felt more at ease. I recently phoned the owner and told him the issue.....he aint doing shit about this and told me to weld it and it will be good. I am phoning him tomorrow and if he gives me the same bulshit I will contact Husqvarna, not becuase I am bitter that i bought the bike, but that he was not being honest and that he opened the opertunity to risk my safety when riding. I have never even ridden this bike and only started it the other day - actually started on the fourth kick after sitting for more than 4 months. The bike was sold for $2900, for a 09 TC450.....that was pretty cheap, and I should have thought about it more (but again - why would a DEALER lie?). I would'v have had no problem if he would'v told me that the frame was cracked and maybe worked on the price....but that was maybe why it was that cheap. One thing that is becoming more clear to me now, when I phoned him about the bike I told him that would be coming with cash and if he would look at dropping the price, "he said that he couldnt cut it by much but that "green" is always better and maybe a hundred or so". After viewing the TC I brought it up and he said NO, the price is firm...that is ok but being in marketing I knew that he planned it well......I drove 3 hours to get the bike, why would I go back without the bike after driving in total 6 hours for a meager $100?. Check Mate. I am a honest guy, and believe in paying the fair price if the product is fair. I fully understand that it is a used dirt bike, but I dont understand why people can not be honest.
