AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!! You SOB! I was on my way to Auburn with cash in hand to pick up that bike. I've been looking for a good deal and came across that one; talked to the guy on the phone. I intended on keeping it. Curses!
Seriously, dude? Very rude & highly inappropriate, I must say.
However, there are instances when it may seem appropriate to curse at another, like at the driver of a car who purposely merges into you and nearly pancakes you into a concrete barrier on a narrow (2') shoulder along I-5. That recently happened to me, and that made me curse at him. In all sincerity, I later regret those wicked thoughts. But, if I'd really lost my cool (instead of braking/swerving) I would have gone down for sure, maybe over the barrier & down about 30 feet to the lower deck. And probably would have crashed in a chain reaction, including my brother and the 3rd rider in our group. Very chilling, the foolish actions of one angry driver put our lives in danger. Reacting in anger usually ends badly or fatal when operating motorcycles. In contrast, keeping cool prevented a disastrous conclusion.
Anger can make people sound petty. Life is too short and sometimes things happen, or in this case things don't go your way. Sorry, I fail to see how my actions hurt you and that I deserve such vitriol and some guilt trip...especially from a fellow rider. Besides, I knew nothing of another person 'on their way', and/or 'with cash in hand' as you say. You must have access to resources like we do, yet you sound like some victim out for revenge. The reality is, there are and will always be other bikes available...and fall season usually presents better opportunities for buyers.
I wish you well.
