Had he asked me to meet him in some empty parking lot and give him $10k+ cash to ride the bike, I would have a different bike now.

that's funny isn't it. when you look at it from the other side it seems so cold. unfortunately there are lots of bad people out there. luckily for you, you had someone who had never been burrned to deal with. luckily for him, he had an honest person with real intentions of buying to deal with.
there's good and bad on both sides, personally I've lost a couple thousand by trusting people. I got it back eventually but it's not worth my time or money to try and avoid hurting people's feelings these days.
Glad your's worked out for you. nice bike.
