I also am a firm believer in that.

However, every now and then I meet a guy that has no business even changing a light bulb. If one is not inclined, he'd be wise to recognize it.

I don't know the OP and I am NOT saying this is his situation.
I wouldn't fault him if it was.

 

Well here is my .02 cents:

if you are not willing to take maybe two hours to do all that work yourself and am willing to leave it there for seven weeks, thats on you. do the work yourself, or "call me when the parts come in and ill run the scooter down to ya."

as for the advertising, to each their own. i do it and i dont mind being a part of something which is bigger than me.

 

Maybe he didn't call them often enough.

"Is it done yet?" "Is it done yet?" "Is it done yet?"

Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

This has also been a problem for me at car dealers for many years . Dealers steal from the motor companys just as much too! This is why I always ask for my used or broken parts. So the service mgr can't use them to sell a story to the next customer.

 

Well now he knows. Next time learn to do it yourself or expect the same slow service. It's that simple.

 

I agree i hate to buy apparel with company logo's, Unless they want to discount the apparel for me to advertise there product

 

Einstein's contribution to the theory of relativity was the recognition that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and an absolute physical boundary for motion. This does not have a major impact on a person's day-to-day life since we travel at speeds much slower than light speed.

Of course, that's just most of us - maybe you ride really-really fast.

 

Got the call today, she is ready to be picked up tomorrow...
High of 40 degrees (for about an hour) tomorrow, with scattered showers, which will get rid of the salt dust.
Perfect weather to take her out and run her through her pace's...

 

Well it turned out pretty well..
They only charged me for an Hour labor, Delivered her to me for free and threw in a cover for free.

I took her for about a 60 mile ride and she handled great...
I only had her in the 65-70 mile range for about 15 minutes.
The suspension on both the front and the rear was really good, I was a little worried about the back because it has been lowed two inches, but I went over a lot of bumps and pot holes and it didn't bottom out, which surprised me because I weigh 260 on the hoof...

It does turn a little different than my last bike because I am sitting up a little higher, so I have to get used to that.
There is plenty of power and I do tend to feel like I am going to slide off the back of the tractor seat, so I need to slow down on the take off in first gear. Maybe I will put the lepara seat back on and see how that feels...
The only problem I have with the bike is that it is a little hard to get to the kickstand. (I'm only 5 10) so it is a reach..

Tomorrow it will be about 10 degrees warmer so I will get to take it out on the thruway and see how she does at 75 -80.

With the tractor seat up ah high as it is, I now have my head above the windshield looking over it so I don't get the buffeting that I did on my old bike when I was looking "through" the shield, so that is a big improvement.

The bike accelerates good and is very responsive, but I do get a little clunk when I am down shifting slowly at a stop sign. I don't know if it is me or if it just isn't broke in yet.

All in All I am very pleased with this ride
