Yeah, I guess Gardo's statements in that post took me by surprise as i'd never heard him go off on it like that. It's been mostly that he couldn't register it.

I almost owned a Heist last week but the dealer pulled a fast one on me. Sometimes I'm glad I have eagle eyes. Though I will still be getting a Heist, I almost went for the DF and it was what I found first online- the bike and this forum. There are a few reasons I wanted the DF- clearly the cost for one. Part of me likes the fact it's got black rims and engines covers as Florida sucks the life out of chrome. Painted rims easy to touch up over rusting chrome. Part of me liked the fact it was so cheap I would feel less guilty tearing into it :) a project bike. I wasn't looking forward to the possible gas tank leak though. I was seconds away from ordering the DF a few days ago when the Universe suddenly allowed me to try for another Heist. I'd love to own both actually. Just don't know what I could sell around the home for that money.
