Scooter purchase is Imminent!

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: I've changed my mind. In response to an email exchange that I had with Jim at SECruisers overnight, he suggested that if the deal I was offered for a Vento Phantom for under 2000 bucks was legit, I probably should take it. I've scratched my head and compared final delivered prices, delivery time and warranty lengths and I have to agree, buying the Phantom semi-locally makes sense.

The owner of Xtreme Motor Toys, Guy Standing has really done his best to earn my business and he seems to have a thriving shop with some quality help, so I'm comfortable spending my money with him. And I can get the scoot hauled home as soon as I can get the tonneau cover off my truck!

UPDATE: Here's a picture of the scooter that I'm waiting on.

That's the good news today. I've got some money in my pocket, more in the credit union and even more in my PayPal account from the sale of the bike. I've got an agreement on a price and the money will transfer to Jim at JJ's Sport & Electric Cruisers later today.

The bad news is, Jim is waiting on the arrival of a fresh container load of scooters to arrive before he can deliver mine. Bummer. It looks like two weeks will pass while the container gets off loaded in Portland, the container gets unloaded in the warehouse, my box and my scooter gets pulled out, checked for damages, and then, finally sent on to me.

Lastly for now, I can't even link to a picture for you to see what my shiny new scoot is going to look like. Secruisers doesn't have a link to it from their main website and the link that I might be able to show you has the dreaded EBay word in it and so the base network server guards won't let me access it to add the hyperlink.

Hey Jim, throw us a link that everybody can see, would you please?
