I made a post in the 2nd generation area that got me to thinking...... I have a list of dealer related nightmares when I have had to have them do repairs to my bikes over the years. Last April a group of us were heading out for a ride. Sure enough the night before I find a nail in a relatively new Avon and the wife catches wind about the dangers of patching. Sure enough, on the way out we hit a dealer and have a new tire put on. 100 miles later we pull over to eat lunch and my buddy ask when the saddle bag cracked...What? Sure enough I have a big crack down the back. S.O,.a B. I call them and they say to bring it by after the trip. I showed up with 4 other bikes that were on the trip and they discover the metal spacers were not installed at the bottom of the bag. They must not have been there (according to them) but they should have pointed it out so they will replace the $1500 dollar bag. This was April and I have watched them order the wrong color twice, The upper bag once and the wrong side twice. They were apologetic and as nice as pie but totally incompetent. Well, two days ago they get the bag in and forgot to order the spacers.....I was able to cut some tubing to do the job but was amazed at the total lack of professionalism. Now I can tell you similar stories with 4-5 other dealers but it's someone elses turn at this point:witch_brew: I stay busy but am doing more and more of my own repairs due to their incompetence. Just wish I could see better. I imagine there are tons of scary stories about dealers....along with some good ones.
