SGS Motorcycle Inspection
Since I'm looking at buying a bike that's 2000 miles away from me I'm trying to cover all my bases and make sure I don't get screwed.

I found a link to SGS Vehicle inspection services on ebay. For $99.50 this doesn't sound half bad. Has anyone used them or have any other suggestions?

Re: SGS Motorcycle Inspection
Or maybe you could see if there's a member here who lives in whatever area you're looking at that is willing to check it out for you?

Re: SGS Motorcycle Inspection
This comment leaves a lot to be desired, IMO...

Ordinary wear and tear and other external factors can change a motorcycle's condition and SGS makes no representation about the condition of any motorcycle on the date of purchase.

I'm sure some will chime in. If not, post a specific request in the appropriate regional forum.

What town in Tennessee? I have a knowledgeable friend there, and if it's close, I know he'd be willing.

Knoxville. I would love to have a knowledgable referred person do it rather than someone I don't know from a company I've never used.

He's not too far outside of Knoxville. I just sent him an e-mail to ask him what his schedule looks like.

Kenzo, JACKPOT! Here's his response...

I just got back from there. It's about 25 miles. I go just about every
day. Give me a call.
So, e-mail me the details to prichard@ev1.net. I'm dialing him up right now.

maybe we've uncovered part of the mystery that is the PETE. he has multiple personalities. there's Pete who is the evil hateful bastard. and the PETE who is the force or entity that some look to for guidance. and there's Pete(r Puffer)who is the man loving guy. now maybe there's pete who is some new guy thats nice. stuff just keeps getting weirder surrounding this "Pete"

It appears that everyone on the board is trying to be or find the "PETE". Come to find out that the onlyone sucessful is "the PETE".

Way to go "PETE" for helping a wayword soul.....
