HOW MUCH TIME?????

[Kwaka-Kid]

This would make me go there.
When hell freezes over.
Regardless of right or wrong, a few interpersonal skills wouldn't go astray.

Hahaha, something about a pot and a kettle...

[Gixxer 4 ever]

come on people it is time to take this out of the public place. you two got problems but it is not doing anyone any favours airing it here. for the sake of the business and your own personal being please sort this out over the phone face to face or in private email.

[Kwaka-Kid]

My appologies 2 all offended ,

Top effort Ricky for being the bigger man.

I know and look up to Ricky with his work, and as far as personally goes, hes a wicked dude thats always been really good to me, id help him in a second as i know he would help anyone else.

With that in my opinion, if you had second thoughts after this about seeing Ricky, wipe them from ya head! If your a genuine sorta person looking for a top job, dont hesitate to see him. As much as it sounds like a sales pitch on mt edens behalf - it really isnt, just my 2c after how rickys been towards me.

Exactly what Kwaka-Kid said... and many other people on here would share similar experiences and thaughts.

At 12.05pm saturday you dropped the panels on my bench and at 4 pm when you popped back the panels were still on my bench where does the part "the fairings ar..........mechani house" fit in.

my bad -----i meant fairing bits and pieces
ricky,you kow better than me what you said....on saturday i asked you for all the bits and pieces that were needed to get the fairings fitted and you said you didnt know where those were??????besides you had a difference of opinion on who had done the original stripping when i told you i saw the mechanic taking off the majority of the fairings with my eyes .....besides i had asked you to keep those bits and pieces aside on friday as well.....but you didnt bother did you???

by the looks of the abuses and threats i have got makes me wonder who the customer is and who is being paid to do the job???????????? "A bigger man".....

Don't judge my customer service based on my grumpy net persona. I'll do all I can to resolve problems and have never called a customer a cunt. (out loud)

[ManDownUnder]

Strange I neva had your bussiness 2 start off with and i do get offended when some guttless person tell stories about me(wouldn't you)

No - you're wuite right, you never have had my business - and it's a shame I didn't know you were the best - I has a few things that needed doing on the RF... your help would have been appreciated.

Yes I do get annoyed with people telling stories - as you rightly point out.

The difference is that I know how to deal with customers - and I'm not saying it's something you need to do (although it's certainly a plus if you can).

I've only ever known this situation as a slanging match, complete with hair curling abuse, foul language and blame being laid all around. As a bystander it doesn't look good on either side. I have also had my expectations set such that if I did bring my bike to you and there was a disagreement for any reason I could reasonably expect to be abused, shouted down and help in a situation where you could (and I'm not saying you do) maintain a balance of power by simply holding onto the goods in question.

As soon as you went into writing on this site, you did so an a representative of Mt Eden M/C. Whether that's the legal definition or not is another matter, that's the general gist of it.

Also - for what it's worth I did ring Mike yesterday and gave him a heads up on this thread (which I note you did too - good on ya). I wanted to make sure he knew what was happening so your bike shop didn't get a bad name and give him the chance of him moderating or justifying the comments you made.

It turns out he's on your side, and there are a number of good reasons why. 'm not here to argue that - I never was.

My point is that your use of strong attacking language didn't make you any friends, and I'm sure it's done you and your employer some damage.

I know you're pissed off about this whole thing - sometimes it pays to take 24 hours before going into writing, or bounce it off Mike before posting in here. Speaking to him yesterday he sounds like a good guy, and if he has your respect, I suggest you might take a few pointers from him re wording etc.
