on the corbin saddle i just bought used

I just bought a Flat Corbin saddle from one of our list members. It was a
guy who had just sold his bike and had the saddle left. I snatched it right
up, sent him the check and waited for it to arrive. It got to me yesterday.
I opened up the box and took out a "dished" Corbin saddle. The guy hasn't
returned my email about it yet and I'm not holding my breath. Now why
didn't he just say in his add that it was a dished saddle and not advertise
it as flat. -- It's not going to kill me or anything and I guess I can put
this saddle on when my (shorter) wife wants to ride the bike. It's just
aggrevating to me that someone would misrepresent something as straight
forward as this. Someone would still have bought the dished saddle, just
not me.

Because he's a dick.

Put it up for sale. You might get even money or better, or
find someone who wants to trade.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. I know that I'm frequently away
from my email from days at time, so it's entirely possible that he's not
read his email yet. Give him another 24 hours, perhaps, before you get
(rightfully) really pissed.

Name the thief.
Stop payment on the check.
Heck, even keep the seat after stop payment.
I havn't bought anything used online because I'd drive halfway across
the country to "explain" my disatisfaction with being lied to and
taken of my money.
When the Govt. does it well I just vote.

how long to use choke?
Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2003 5:56 am

How long running with the choke ? Till the motor runs
Have you backed your pilot circuit screw out ?
This is one of them you have to drill out a cap and remove it to
adjust, the factory sets these bikes way to lean, I bet around 45 Mph
your bike surges too right ?
Look back a few messages we just covered the how to's.
