i broke the mounting plate of my givi box today and my bag flew off,undamaged but needed a mounting plate to continue working cause im a courier,this is my 5 bike shop saga till i got the plate
1.price $79 have to order it and be here tomoorow.....(was givi boxes on the wall probably with same plates inside,and i knew the price was not right considering you can buy a whole givi box with the same plate as low as $110)
2.this was a wrecker..."nah sorry never wrecked any bikes much with givi gear" and i thought tourists crashed thier bikes often?
3.the place i get my tyres from,usually very busy so i take my punt on the first available salesperson (i know givi luggageware isnt high on thier list)sensing im not looking for a full fox motocross outfit,its a hasty nah well have to order that(also a place with many boxes with the plates there)
4.my most shocking!!a very poncey sauve accessory shop,i walk in and its empty so i view the range of 10 or so givi boxes and plates and then ask if they have a plate to purchase,"no but they due in the next shipment on monday and theyre $29" so i say "do ya think i could just get one of those plates off your boxes and you replace it when they come in cause im a courier and sort of need it now" response "not really" well f#^8 off i wish i hadnt brought the top box off you and the revitt jacket as well in the first place
5.shop ive never brought anything from,helpful prick says yeah think we may have a spare lying around and goes out the back,brings an opened packet back with the exact plate in but nothing else with a price on it suggesting its the kit price not just the plate price,anyway i dont argue the point and just pay it!!
my point is although im only really pissed at the no.4 shop,the others all showed a degree of...well you tell me?
