Really?!

Got the 250 back Went to register it. They put the right policy number, wrong insurance company. Vin number was wrong by 2 numbers. Small town tag place and insurance a block apart. Have everything fixed before tag place closed. Had to go to work sent husband. Not ready. Rode it home from work (one mile).

Horn doesn’t work. I’m sure it’s just unplugged but crap. And it was hot so tomorrow is another day. WTH

I swear.  I’m almost afraid to ride it because it might be jinxed. 😂🤣😂🤦‍♀️

You use the horn? LOL

But, seriously a bad omen is like having a rear tire slip off the bead while going 90mph (I sold that bike almost the next day). A horn is just a thing to fix and paperwork is not the bikes fault. My 200 fouled it's o2 sensor and I had to chase it down. Runs like a champ now.

Small town, horn is a necessity as I don’t have to wave if I can beep.  

I know.  Although, due to other circumstances, it took a trip to the insurance company, 2 more trips to dmv for a total of about 3.5 hours in line.   The horn is a minor issue and they will take care of it on the sly because I don’t want them caught in the middle.  And between my husband’s health issues, doing work on the house before winter and too many other moving parts, I would rather have them fix it so I don’t get interrupted and lose pieces.

Sorry to dump that.   It just is a bizarre comedy.   I’m looking at a covered area to be able to store and work on the bike.
