Took him my titles, and spare keys from my trades, which he is picking up Friday morning, wrote him a check for the balance, so my 2014 CB 1100 Deluxe is paid in full
Now, I just need to wait for it to come in at the end of March.
I also reminded him he needed to put 2 new rubber lever end covers on the new one for me before I would accept it
Congratulations.
Don't really think I'd ever give a dealer anything before I had the vehicle in my hands, but that's me (time value of money, etc.).

Yea no biggie... It's winter, I can't ride. It will give him a chance to sell them in the meantime. It's all good. If I didn't have a relationship with this dealer I wouldn't do that though.
Congratulations on your soon-to-be acquisition. We await your observations and photos!
Having a good personal relationship with a dealership is very helpful.
Last week I traded my five year old CBR1000RR for a new Ninja 636 (daddy needs a new track bike!). I rode the CBR down to the dealership to drop it off even before the 636 had arrived to their store. The whole deal was done with the sales manager, through text messaging over the course of about one hour. When I dropped off the CBR, he's the one who drove me back home.
Being the dealership carries Honda/Kawasaki/Suzuki, I have many new bike options.
