Hi Mike, I've just got a minute between errands here and I wanted to check in.
First, Thanks! I am really sorry you have to part with this bike. I promise I will care for it well and ride it a lot. Please tell me how to get the money to you. I can send it tomorrow by whatever way you like including pay pal, check, postal money order, even Western Union I suppose or whatever is the best way for you. Second, thanks again. Don't start packing it yet. We might be able to work something out where I meet you halfway or maybe I can even get closer than that and save the shipping charge for you and any possibility of damage to the bike from rough handling. Where are you? No matter what we decide on about picking it up or shipping I will be happy to send money tomorrow. Back out to do errands. I will be home in 3 - 4 hours and I will check in again then.
