I do not know how to be any clearer to you. You obviously are having trouble following the story. Let me try giving you a time line you may be able to follow. If it is still unclear, ask someone for help.
Tuesday: Shook hands agreeing to price. Informed dealer I would not be selling my bike if this were not the deal.
Thursday: Sold my bike.
Friday: I went to purchase new bike with down payment in hand.
Dealer changed agreed upon price. I left.
Saturday: Went back. Purchased bike for close to origional agreed upon price after calling dealer out on lying to me.
If you do not understand the way things happened I am afraid I can no longer engage you in conversation. As stated, I have very little time off during their hours of operation. The hold up which caused the 3 week delay was due to 1 week of them figuring out whether they would take an automobile in as a trade. One week for them to secure financing for me and then the last week during which time I purchased the bike.
So that is my side.
My supposition for their side, which admittedly is rather biased, is:
Tuesday: tell customer whatever he wants to hear to get him to come back and sign.
Friday: It is late. Let's lie to customer and try and get a few more thousand dollars out him. He is probably excited to get a new bike and will just give in and sign anyways.
Saturday: Oh crap. customer did some research and found out we were lying. Now we can not fleece him.
Tell me what you would have done differently. Remember, you can not buy the bike until you get rid of your 2 trades. The dealer will take a week to finalize whether they will take one of them. The dealer will take an additional week to secure financing. The dealer will then change the deal on you at the last minute.
Perhaps you are so spineless you would have been bullied into paying a lot more money than agreed upon. And then you would feel good about yourself and not wasted their time.
Another possibility is the dealer could have taken the trades, secured financing, and taken my down payment all on the first day I went to the dealer and I would have bought the new bike that day.
I do not have any better way of explaining it to you. If you do not understand what transpired, you sir are an idiot. You jumped on to this thread and insulted me with out being able to follow along with what was being told to you. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Now your options now, are to repeat what you have said before, insult me further, remain silent on the subject or apologize for your indescretion. I think most people here can guess what your course of action will be.

Motorcycles are perfectly safe, as long as you don't fall off and you don't get hit by anything...
