Cornercamping Dan

[Dawn]

I've seen a few thread jacks on the BBS for Cornercamping to follow through with purchases or sales.  This poll is to solicit feedback from others that have dealt with him regarding buying/selling of motorcycles or parts.

If we all know what to expect from Cornercamping, no one will get pissed off.  (Yes Dan, you brought this on yourself)

This poll will is not an invitation to post mean spirited and degrading posts.  It is to be for information only.

Im all Fairness Dawn...

I don't think this poll could be accurate.

Anyone with a login here can vote, with out any better creditability.
So if people that don't like Cornercamping...
They can just drag his name down lower.

Just another Random Opinion

I believe Dan's reputation speaks for itself.  Poll or not, everyone should know what to expect.

What haven't I followed thru on  ??? I didn't promise anyone I was going to buy anything on this BBS.  The ONLY person I promised I was going to buy something from him, was my mechanic (sbkkeith), and I always do.  He's worked on like, uhm... all 7 bikes I bought last year.  I don't get it    ???  Who'd I tell I was gonna buy something from.  Other than Keith, the only person I bought anything from was Stumpy and that was race numbers.

I am pretty new here ..... but ... oh well .. I'll let you guys judge ....

It's just that on the phone he sounded so convincing that here really wanted it and even said that he was coming the next day to get it and wanted to know what would be best ... Cash, Check or Cashiers Check ...
After that day ... a few people I know from here emailed me about him when they saw that he was coming to see the bike from my Posting here and here is a clip from an e-mail from one of my friends ..

---- Clip From E-mail  -----

He's a serious flake.
Nobody's ever seen half the bikes he claims to have, not even his closest
friends.  He got booted out of our local Duc group, and then proceeded to
implode on the Aprilia and WERA forums.  I'm honestly shocked he hasn't
gotten banned from the CCS board yet, Dawn has the patience of a saint.

I'll spread the word about your bike, see if I can kick a couple guys your
way.


---- end Clip From E-mail ----

Now normally I don't do things like this ... It's just that I had a guy who wanted to come get the bike .. was going to send me a deposit ... I told him that Dan was coming to see it ... and when he left ... I called the guy back who was going to come get it and he had already found another one from the WERA BBS ....

Just ticked me off a little .... He didn't even want me to start the bike when he came and looked at it which told me right there that he wasn't serious .... Which is fine ... I know alot of people like to "SHOP" for bikes so to say ... but he just made it sound like he REALLY wanted it ...

I really don't know if this is the way he is ... I'm just sharing my experience ...

That's complete and total BULL SH@T !    >:(

I called you and said I was interested in TAKING A LOOK at the bike.  That's what I did, and decided I'd pass because I'd still need to put some money into it, and for what I can get a new one for, I'd only save a few hundred $ over buying a brand new one and race prepping it myself.  When did I tell you that I was taking it home? I didn't.  I said specifically, that "IF it's what I'm looking for, I"ll bring cash with me and take it home at the same time."  You live 20 minutes from me.  I didn't think it would be a blg deal looking at it first and going from there.  I didn't say, I want it don't sell it.  You gave me first dibs because I called first, and that's it. I didn't guarantee that I was going to buy it.  I said I'd come and look at it.  And, if I remember correctly, I told you when I left your house in these EXACT words "Let me go home real quick and run some numbers, and I'll let you know in about an hour if I want the bike."  That is EXACTLY what I did.  There is nothing wrong with your bike. It's a nice bike. Just not what I'm looking for.  I also didn't know it was crashed.  It's still a wonderful bike though.  

Anyone notice that there if there is a R6 in MI I want to go see it?  Could it be because I'm looking for an R6  :o  Gee... I wonder if I could afford an R6  ::)  Not like I bought 2 Ducati's and 2 Aprilia's last year or anything  ::)

[G-WizGraphix]

Dude ..... You even said on the Phone that you would send me a deposit through Paypal " It that's what I wanted " ... what would that tell you ?

Look man ... I'm not trying to slander you ... just sharing my experience  and even since the Forum moderator started it ....

Right, I said I woudl send you a deposit because I WAS IN CHICAGO at work, and wouldn't be back till the next day, and I wanted to come take a look at it.  I was serious about your bike.  I am still looking for an R6, and you know where I get my bikes at dirt cheap.  We know the same people in OH.  I looked at your bike.   It interested me because I want a 600. I'm still going to get a 600.  

As far as the person that emailed you saying that I don't have half the bikes I claim to have.. they know me how?  Read this, from the beginning of last summer..

The 749S I was referring to, had:

BST Carbon Wheels
STM Slipper Clutch
Termi Exhuast 3/4 system
New ECU
Carbon Air Runners
CycleCat Rearsets
Ohlins R&T Forks (I added)
Ohlins Corsa Shock (I added)
Ohlins Damper

and all that was before anything was really available for the bike.  I had almost $30K wrapped up in that bike.  After I sold it, I still had parts showing up that were backordered.  

[cornercamping]

and everyone saw that bike.  I use to go up to Royal Oak on it.  I sold that bike for $17,000.00 because I gave the guy that wanted it MY WORD that I would sell it to him.  I could've have backed out, and I'd still have the bike, but I told the guy I'd sell it to him, and 2 hours after that, the money that was late showed up.  I could have canceled, but I promised the guy I'd sell it to him.  I gave that guy almost $30K worth of stuff with that bike.  Hell, the rims were $4K alone.  Then, $6K in suspension.  $3K for exhaust.  $800 for the slipper clutch.  $500.00 for rearsets....  I can keep going.

[G-WizGraphix]

So you would risk forgoing a $500 deposit just because you wanted to "SEE" a bike ..... ?
And I really don't care what you spend on bikes .... that is your deal ....... I was just sharing ...

Anyway ... I'm not mad Dan .. I KNOW the bike will sell  . ... Have fun in what you do ... and

Shouldn't you be at Gingerman ?

Joe

[cornercamping]

Gingerman = tomorrow

[cornercamping]

Yeah, I would've sent you the deposit.  The $500.00 would have weighed in on the purchase, but I still wouldn't have had you start it, or gone for a ride.  I'm not worried about how bikes run.  I don't need to hear it run, nor do I need to ride it until I pull the cash out.  Hell, I've bought bikes before without hearing it run.  I don't think you'd sell me a bike face to face and plan on selling me a bike that didn't run right.  I give people credibility past that. Your bike is nice, and I explained the situation.  What would you do?  Spend $300.00 more and build your own?  You know what I can buy it for brand new.  We know the same people down there more or less.
