Oh the dumbs...........
You guys will love this whopper of a story..........
So this guy (see the pictures!)
he claims he was out ridnig at a liesurely pace with his gf on the back and hit some sand in a left hand corner and the bike "lowsided" enough to hit the side bag, trunk, and grind down the left lower..... but then he was able to "save it" but over corrected and then the bike "lowsided" on the right side and slid off the road becasue he hit a second patch of sand.........
sure thing fucktard, never fucking happened!!!
So he tells me one story in a text, then shows up about 4 hours late with the bike to drop it off for the insurance estimate and changes the story and even the location of supposed incident
then a couple days later after I share the $14000 repair estimate, he then has a different story still, and he has been talknig to his insurance company- likely with all the same lies and bullshit stupidity
geezus..... I never understand the need to lie, especially when it is so easy for me to prove you are lying.
the scratches on the right side of the bike all had some sand and gravel and grass stains in and on them (and clearly nobody was out still riding the bike for fun with the right handlebar bent all the way over the gas cap)... meanwhile all the scratches and grind marks on the left have no such things plus the steel crash bars around the lower and around the saddlebag have rust in them
Clearly and obviously two seperate crashes not even on the same day!!
fucking asshole idiot losers
fyi......... Same guy crashed his last bike atleast 6 times that I know of, 5 times the very first year of ownership and collected nearly $30,000 in claims checks!!!!!! on a bike he paid like $10,800 out of the door
He has made crashing and insurance fraud an art of making monies
He thinks still he is going to collect something in the 10k range and he had the gaulle to tell me he only wants me to buy some used bars off egay and replace just a couple other "necessary to ride and be safe" parts.........
looking at the lengthy parts list of over 50 parts- he would need 10 of those parts totalling about $2500 to make the bike safe but fucking ugly and all plastics still ground up and rashed sans the upper (his upper is broken in pieces and no repair I am willing to do sans a brand new one) not to mention the time investment of around 8 or 9 hours to do it all....
So lets just say best case scenario the bill ends up being in the $3100 range (KBB and NADA on the bike shows $7300-$9500 retails) and if they even give him low retail less deductible he still pockets about $3700?
Bike has been sitting here a fucking week now, push it in, push it out twice a day each day and still no word from his insurance company to me on when the fuck they are going to get this pig pile of shit out of here or issue a fucking check to get going on fixing it...... And customer "refuses" to give me direct contact to them, I am wondering if he really even has insurance at this point, otherwise why not let them come look at it, get a copy of the estimate and talk to me??
If it were my bike, I would let the insurance company take it, and let them either cut the check for max dollars (high retail- justified by looking on craigslist, dealers used bikes lots, facecrook marketplace for same bike where they range in asking price from $8,500 to $12,800)
Plus I already personally talked to a guy with one for sale with 10,000 less miles, in pristine condition with brand new tires on it... only about 145 miles away who is asking 9k but has had it for sale for 13 weeks and he told me he would take 7500
This assclown customer would still make monies......... take insurance cheeck, go buy this other bike (1 year newer and 10k less miles with new tires) and pocket a cool $2000 plus the monies for his gear that he once again will never replace
Same old gear from all his other crashes that he claimed on all those crashes too and never replaced any of it..... He has some 14 year old ARAI limited edition signiture helmet that was maybe $1000 way back then- he thinks it is something special it isn't..... besides the fact it is old as fuck and all used up, it is all scratched up too
Guy is a real tool pile o shit.....
oh he had the odacity to bitch about my repair estimate fee, it took 4 fucking hours to look up all the part numbers, get the prices and print up the repair estimate....really I am supposed to do that for free, fuck you asshole, hell no!! and I even stated (like all jobs) 3 days after completion (last Sunday estimate was done and sent to him) storage charges of $25/day start......... So Thursday storage fees started accumulating! 3 days and counting at $25 thus far plus the repair estimate fee of $260
I am ready to just leave the thing sit outside locked to the shed with the other 5 bikes sitting out there at this point, if he actually has insurance--- they would want to come pick it up asap to stop paying those charges, becasue I have to imagine they will total it no questions asked and no negotiating..... and if he is pushing the issue on keeping it but wanting max dollars, well then he is going to pay!
Fuck I am not a fucking charity and 950 pound piles of shit that take up the room of two sportbikes are not desired to sit around endlessly- I simply don't have that kind of open space for storage (otherwise I really would not care one bit if it sat here for weeks or months) fucking thing blocks access to two of the lifts and I don't appreciate having to heave it out and back in daily
Oh yeah, so I get a text from his today bitching I did not put his exhaust on the repair estimate........lol---the exhuast is barely ground and it is ground from when he corners and drags it on the ground just like the floorboards- not from the crash itself
so he then argues , but look at the exhuast tip- the paint is missing........... fucking idiot, it is rusty and the paint flaked off just like the othersie that he then spray painted black again and it too is starting to peel off again
OMG- this guy........... besides what the fuck difference does it make if the repair estimate is 14k or 16k when high retail value is realistically 9500, it is totalled either way!!!!!! and I am not into fraud or padding bills just because some asshole customer wants me to!
Fuck I hope it is the same adjuster that came all those times on his 09 gsxr1000, he was a nice guy and knew just as I did he was committing fraud on some of those claims- sadly he did nothing about it but keep writing out checks
ie......... customer never repaired or replaced the exhaust ever on that bike, yet the $3800 exhaust (both sides oem) was paid for by the insurance company 3 times!!! same with some other lesser expensive parts that were never replaced, ie engine covers and some of the bodywork
one of the times he got a check for like $6500 and all he had me do was install new tires and change the oil (not even $400) he pocketed over $6000 and fixed nothing from the actual crash ...... only to crash yet again and make another claim and he claimed he bought everything on ebay used and replaced it himself at home- so "it was all brand new" according to this lying scumbag (why not make him cough up reciepts or pictures to prove it?)
yet the scratches etc all told a different story and the pictures of previous crash easily showed that- just compare them to the current pictures and you could see the exact same scratches and gouges under the new scratches and some of the pieces were idientical in both ppictures, no new damage just old damage........ yet insurance paid him in full again, something around $9k- he took that check and paid off his loan on the bike and again spent sub $500 on the bike (couple parts had to be replaced, lever, bar, windshield if I remember correctly)
I amost begged the adjuster to not pay out and just take the bike and then turn it over to the fraud department for investigation and he told me (roughly quoting what he said....."while I know these parts weren't replaced, I can't prove it and that isn't my job. My job is document the estimate and needed repairs and close the claim"
I was like WTF- so is it any wonder insurance costs are what they are when they pay out willy nilly even in clear cut cases of false claims and fraud...at the very least on one of those claims they should have charged him 2 deductibles (just like this claim on the Victory Cross Country) and counted it as 2 claims for 2 crashes......
There is my rant for the week of another fucking lying scumbag douchebag human that happens to be a only when he crashes customer..........
I have refused to work on his shit for the past several years for anything after he sent me a message about doing XY&Z to his bike, and then wants the total broken down to itemize each idividual service and then tries to cherry pick out only 2 things (both required to remove parts that were included in original cost estimate for other things he was going to get) and he only wanted to pay what I wrote on the price breakdown- even though those prices were WHEN DOING THE OTHER WORK!
ie..... to install rear brake pads one must remove the rear wheel (2 hours work easy all in) but when installing a new rear tire already, it is like 5 minutes to install new pads- so I had $5 on there............. So he expected me to install the $35 brake pads for $40 total even though it takes 2+ hours
ie..... fork oil change/spring change, he wanted those replaced for the 30 minutes extra I wrote it up since I was already replacing the steering head bearings despite it is like a 2 hr job by itself......
basically he was trying to screw me out of about $250 in labor time and he absolutely knew it! fucking asshole- I explained it to him and told him to never ever return go elsewhere and then avoided all his texts and emails and calls over the past several years until this shit.......... I should have ignored the fucktard again!
Now the rant is over......... ugh- I could feel my blood pressure was high all fucking week dealing with this moron, I need to add a you pissed off Lloyd charge to his bill!!! it won't be the first time nor will he be the first person to get that charge
