I'm kinda wierd when it comes to that. I like to touch, feel and ride a bike before I buy it.
I had my Triumph Daytona shipped from MN in 05'. Everything was good except a looong scratch across the tank the PO did not disclose and did not show up in the pics.
This bike has been sold. I didn't need it but I picked it up the other day. desertgasser give me a call or send me your ph.# as I don't have it any more. My new # is 931-854-8037 - Ken
