So i get a bike from crazy freddys ... and when im buying it and done filling out everything... they say "go pick out a free helmet, Jacket, and Gloves..." i was like WOW thats cool but i thought it made sence. somone is paying this money for a bike why not. little did i know they had me sign somthing that didnt really have much written on it.. they they wright on it these crazy prices for the jacket helmet, etc. im like i thought u said they were free.. so he says they are.. we just have to write this for insurance purposes or somthin like that... ok so i get my bills and somthing doesnt seem right so i make a few calls to this GE MONEY BANK with a bill for +$6000 im like WHAT THE HELL IS THIS... so she says well you got a $2000 warrenty (that i didnt ask for) $945 helmet (price tag says $90) she said i also got the jacket package for $1990 (for a 150 dollar jacket and 20 dollar gloves) and another $1500 for exsaust BUT IT CAME WITH STOCK EXAUST!!!!!!

Any suggestions!?!??!

sounds like they forgot to throw in the ky jelly as well. but then they might have charged you 600.00 for that aslo.

damn man, you got screwed big time. but they had you sign a sheet of paper with little to nothing on it? why would you do that? i would most likely try to get ahold of the BBB and ask them to help.

StyAwyFrmFreDY · 10-03-2007, 5:47 PM

BBB??

DemonRR · 10-03-2007, 5:57 PM

Better Business Bureau

StyAwyFrmFreDY · 10-03-2007, 6:23 PM

Iiiite thanks bro... by the way the reason i signed it was because they said they have to lie to the insurance so if somthing happeneds i can get that money back or somthin like that ... stupid me fell for it... plus i was just think about gettin on that new bike and goin ridin...

BBB can't do ****. go to the attorney general. you actually have an excellent one in your state.

Umm, what do you mean "little did I know"? Why the hell would you sign something that was incomplete?

Sure, if all this is true, the dealer is still a scumbag, but you're a complete dumbass for allowing them to rip you off.

.OrgOwner · 10-03-2007, 10:33 PM

It's dumb but it happens all to often - how many people have been "steered" into sub prime deals for example? Same thing different game, get the signature and deal with the heat later, both sides have a responsibility yes. It's just one deal to sales person but it can ruin a persons life.

ConqSoft · 10-03-2007, 10:51 PM

But the people who got sub-prime rates, agreed to that deal, and knew what they were signing. This guy signed a blank piece of paper. That takes a special kind of dumb.

Does NY have a 'cooling off' period for vehicle purchases? If so, you might be able to return the bike and cancel it all. The clock is ticking, so check into it quick!

smoothrideronli · 10-04-2007, 12:21 PM

I have heard the same thing about Crazy Freddys. A few people I know got ripped off like that. Someone posted the same thing on a yahoo group. And that buy one bike get one free is complete bull. There were advertising buy a bike and get a new 600 for free. That didnt happen either.

In the USA, you guys just dont walk back into a dealer, drag the guy who shafted you over the counter, and beat the living p1ss out of him infront of his own boss do you ?.

Oh man... that would be great! But thats not what we do in the USA. We just sue everyone till we have enough money that our problem goes away!

slowride · 10-04-2007, 2:48 PM

why would you sign something that you didnt read in the first place?

Juggernaut · 10-04-2007, 3:12 PM

What did you expect from a guy named Crazy Freddie? And why would you sign a page without taking a copy of it or if it's incomplete?

peoples_champ · 10-09-2007, 12:09 AM

why you guys keep asking the same freakin ques " why you signed, ur a dumbass" your not helping this poor guy at all but insulting him and making things worst for him.
whatever hapened hapened nothing could be changed. if you dont have a legitimet suggestion dont post with your 2cents and smart coments.

Red Rider · 10-09-2007, 9:29 AM

They're just stating the obvious...

Twincam · 10-09-2007, 10:07 AM

Ok, im glad we have all learnt that he was foolish to sign a piece of paper without reading it, as was stupid for doing this that and the other...

But, its happened now, what can he now do? Can you return everything back... Have you still got the labels for the helmet stating $90?

The problem with Crazy Freddies is that you dont always sign for what you get...I dont know how this guy stays out of jail...much less in business.

Sorry, but I don't sign anything unless I read it all, and I get a copy of it at the time of signing. So, I only sign for what I get, and I get what I sign for.

I also check out the BBB before I do business: Business Report Â» SOUTH SHORE MOTORSPORTS, INC. Â» The Better Business Bureau of New York

Unsatisfactory rating.
