I HATE waiting!
 
I contacted this guy online last week (8 days ago. Yes I've been counting) about a bike I want (as my second bike), but his wife was about to pop so he didn't want to meet up just now. He said he would contact me as soon as he had a doctors visit and knew more/calmed down a bit on his end.
It has now been 8 days and I HATE waiting.

I can be very patient with some stuff but I hate waiting for something I want and can buy NOW! My email is checked every ten minutes or so and I'm getting quite fidgety. Especially since I want to be able to use the bike this weekend. DAMN IT, CALL ME! :icon_hyper: (The bike is also up for a good price and if it checks out I'm riding it home the same day.)

I also detest waiting for online orders, drives me nuts.

Yes, I'm quite compulsive. :icon_shrug:

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhh!

I'm not into the whole faith thing. I 'believe' you have to make it work yourself. :p If I sit around passively it will be gone for sure.

The thing is my summer European tour sort of depends on it. Not the question of going or not but since I have to buy $2500 worth of extra stuff (hard luggage, tent, some extra gear and a bunch of other stuff) the low mileage, tipped over fairing damaged, higher bars and screen installed + good priced bike determines how comfortable I'm going to do the 5000km (with passenger).

I'm sure I will get it but I hate waiting. :p

*Checks his e-mail again*

This guy is smart, he didn't leave a number. :p

I'm sure he didn't forget but like I said, his wife is about to have a baby so selling the bike isn't on the top of the list. It's just really annoying! It's like you ordered something and the bloody UPS truck keeps coming by when you are at work leaving these annoying "I'll be here again tomorrow" notes. (Also the reason why I send everything to my work address now. :p)

hahaha



the more impatient you get, the more prone you'll be to making a bad deal... or over-looking something because you just have to have it - i know, i've been there too many times before...

besides, deals come and go. if this one slips away, i'm sure you'll find just as good of a deal or an even better one later down the line.

I know what you mean. I just ordered a FE for my RR from a 600RR.net member and I already want it here so I can put it on my bike. Hope it all works out for you.

Sometimes they do, quite often they do not. For this price and the condition it seems to be in it's a steal. I'm quite prepared, did my homework and have the experience because I went to a similar ordeal when I bought my trusty F4. :)

PS: I wasn't planning on buying the bike (although I for sure wanted it a bi down the line) but as my tour plans shifted from solo to 2-up. It just all made sense. :)
