Venue is proper in Orange County, Florida because Defendant, DAVIS, resides in Orange County, Florida and Defendant, PITBULL has or usually keeps an office for the transaction of its customary business or has an agent or other representative in Orange County, Florida and because the contracts, transactions, conduct, or the actions referred to herein were executed, performed, to be performed, engaged in or otherwise in the accrual of this action in Orange County, Florida. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS 6. In late November 2007, LALLY contacted DAVIS and his corporation. When LALLY called DAVIS in November 2007, LALLY described the type of motorcycle in which he was interested. At that time, LALLY went into detail regarding the function and style of the motorcycle he wanted to purchase. During their conversation, DAVIS represented that he was a manufacturer of motorcycles and offered to give LALLY a quote to produce the motorcycle that LALLY had described to DAVIS and PITBULL. 7. Within a week of speaking with DAVIS and PITBULL, LALLY met with DAVIS at PITBULL's shop. During their meeting, LALLY and DAVIS discussed the proposed motorcycle project in detail. During this first meeting, LALLY provided funds in the amount of $20,000.00 to DAVIS and PITBULL to begin working on plans for the manufacture of a motorcycle for LALLY, and DAVIS and PITBULL agreed to build the motorcycle to the standards needed by LALLY in 180 days. LALLY entered into a contract attached as Exhibit "A". 2 8. For the next several weeks, LALLY talked to DAVIS by telephone about the plans for, price of, and details regarding the motorcycle. DAVIS promised and assured LALLY that DAVIS and PITBULL could build the motorcycle to the standards needed within the agreed upon time period for an agreed upon price. 9. On November 22, 2006, in reliance upon DAVIS and PITBULL's representations, LALLY had given DAVIS and PITBULL funds totaling Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) to begin construction on the motorcycle. 10. Four months later, in March 2007, DAVIS told LALLY that the twin cam and the frame would be ready in 2-3 weeks. DAVIS also represented that he had been working closely with the manufacturer's on the parts required for the motorcycle. 11. After repeated stalling and delays, on July 25, 2007, LALLY was informed by DAVIS and PITBULL that the wheels were coming soon and the twin cam engines are readily available. DAVIS and PITBULL also promised that LALLY would be one of the first people to get 23"/20" Legacy Wheels. 12. On August 6, 2007, LALLY contacted DAVIS and PITBULL to cancel the contract and get the $20,000.00 deposit back as nothing had even been started on the motorcycle build, after repeated promises over 9 months. 13. On August 24, 4007, DAVIS and PITBULL contacted LALLY to update him on the motorcycle, again delaying for another two weeks and refusing to cancel the contract and return the deposit. 14. On October 24, 2007, LALLY again demanded to cancel the contract and for a refund of the $20,000.00 deposit as it had been one year and nothing had been started on the motorcycle as represented.
