IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY,

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
Tristin P. Breneman,
Plaintiff
v.
No. 06-4008 CIVIL
ANSWER OF DEFENDANT, COREY SHULTZ
Defendant Corey Shultz, by and through his undersigned counsel, hereby answers
Plaintiff's complaint and provides new matter as follows:
ANSWER
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3, Admitted.
4. Admitted,
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
NEW MATTER
7, Defendant took possession of the motorcycle, had the motorcycle registered in
his name and delivered his check to Plaintiff on April 29, 2006. When Defendant gave his check
to Plaintiff, Defendant asked Plaintiff to delay cashing the check until Monday, May 1'\ to allow
Defendant time both to ensure there would be sufficient funds to cover the check and to make
sure the motorcycle was not defective. Plaintiff agreed to delay cashing Defendant's check.
8, After the check was transferred Plaintiff escorted Defendant to a storage shed
near Plaintiff's residence. The shed contained numerous motorcycle spare parts, tools and other
motorcycles, Plaintiff gave Defendant a box of motorcycle parts, which Defendant accepted.
Plaintiff and Defendant then returned to Plaintiff's residence, where Defendant started the
motorcycle and began driving home,
9. The April 21, 2006, ride referred to in Paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's complaint
consisted of driving the motorcycle a few blocks in and around Plaintiff's residence. Defendant
did not operate the motorcycle at recognized highway speed until April 29th, when he was
driving the motorcycle home, Upon merging onto Interstate 81, Defendant immediately noticed
that acceleration would drag and the motorcycle would almost stall at normal cruising speed.
After experiencing this problem for a few miles Defendant called Plaintiff to determine why this
problem was happening. Plaintiff admitted that the problem was occurring because the
motorcycle's carburetor had been "re-jetted," which is to say the air-fuel ratio had been altered.
1 O. Plaintiffs failure to disclose this mechanical alteration, coupled with Defendant's
observation of a storage shed with the trappings of a motorcycle workshop, caused Defendant
to wonder whether the motorcycle had undergone other undisclosed alterations. Defendant
consulted a friend who was familiar with motorcycle mechanics, and Defendant and his friend
examined the motorcycle in detail, This examination revealed that neither of the motorcycle's
tires met state safety inspection specifications, and that the front tire was not the same as the
one that was on the motorcycle on April 21st, Defendant also discovered the motorcycle did not
meet state safety requirements because the right turn signal did not work.
11, On or about April 30, 2006, Defendant called Plaintiff on Plaintiff's cell phone to
complain about these safety-related defects and to direct Plaintiff not to cash Defendant's check
until this problem was resolved. Before Defendant could fully explain the defects he discovered,
Plaintiff said his phone was cutting out, and that he would have to call Defendant back. Plaintiff
never made that return call. In the absence of an agreed course of action, and as an
inducement to get Plaintiff to deal constructively with the motorcycle's defects, Defendant
stopped payment on his check,
-2-
12. On May 5, 2006, Plaintiff called Defendant to complain about the stopped
payment. Defendant described the defects he discovered, and Plaintiff responded that he
wanted the agreed price or his motorcycle back. Defendant then offered Plaintiff two options.
Under the first option, Defendant would retum the motorcycled to Plaintiff, but Plaintiff would
have to pay Defendant $230 to reimburse him for the motorcycle registration fee and Plaintiff
would have to pay the fee to have the motorcycle re-registered in his name. Under the second
option, Defendant would take the motorcycle to a reputable inspection and repair shop, the
necessary work would be done to get the motorcycle to pass inspection, Defendant would pay
the repair shop and Defendant would pay Plaintiff the agreed price of $2500 less the amount
Plaintiff for repairs,
13. Plaintiff refused both of the options Defendant offered, Plaintiff also refused
Defendant's effort to have their dispute referred to a mediation service.
14. On May 18, 2006, which was the first available appointment, Defendant loaded
the motorcycle on a trailer and delivered it to Velocity Cycles of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,
for a safety inspection. This inspection revealed massive defects: not only the sub-specification
tires and inoperative tum signal Defendant discovered previously, but also (1) a rear brake rotor
below required thickness; (2) the absence of a chain guard; (3) a lose head bearing; (4) handle
bars that had been bent toward the gas tank; (5) unsecured brake lines; (6) loose wires that
hung so close to the forks as to impede steering; (7) misrouted hoses and wires; (8) bent and
broken upper fairing mounts; and (9) a bent front fork. In terms of parts alone, the cost of
repairing these defects would exceed $2000.
15. On May 5th Defendant offered Plaintiff two options: take back the motorcycle and
reimburse Defendant for his costs, or sell the motorcycle to Defendant at the agreed price less
the cost of the safety-related repairs. The May 18th inspection revealed that the second option is
infeasible: the costs of repair exceed the purchase price.
-3 -
16. Pending the outcome of this litigation the safety-related repairs have not been
made and the motorcycle remains inoperable. Nevertheless, during this interim period
Defendant has incurred costs associated with storing the motorcycle and maintaining operators
insurance on it.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that judgment be entered in his favor,
together with an award of reasonable attorney's fees, litigation costs, storage costs and
insurance costs, with interest, as well as such other and further relief as this court deems
appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
