Well,for a start my welding looks better than the factory job,I think that's why they crack.But yes,that's how it happens - follow the trail passing the buck until you find someone to take the whole blame,that's how these new systems work.Originally Posted by Ixion

Oh, so it was the original welding had cracked around the weld line ? Not a crack from dropping onto Big BadAss Rock somewhere ? I guess a rewelded weld is less likely to attract attention.Originally Posted by Motu

Yeah,but I fixed the left front,that's the left rear....
What I'm getting at is this is the sort of attitude out there these days,and I see it everyday on this forum - someone is to blame,it's someones fault,someones responsability....everyone is on the defensive,and that puts everyone else on the defensive.OK,you see it as normal,but for those of us from an older generation it undercuts the basic values we came into this world around,it's almost an ailien world out there.

I suppose for cars there's a lot more competition, here in Lower Hutt I can't count the service stations.
I've changed a few, not because I haven't been serviced well, but of course because you always try to get the best value out of your money.
With motorbikes it's different, there's just a little competion, but everything is much more expensive, so you expect a good service. Also you get to know people you deal with better because there are less of us around. I think that's a good thing.
And finally we all learn. We start with small, cheap, old motorbikes. But one day maybe we'll be able to afford a Ducati. So there's a potential for each customer, even the one with the crappy japanese bike.
But hey, when I had it serviced the first time I had to give them $600!! so, who says that little bikes have little running costs!?
It's good to hear that TSS came to the party. It was a surprise for me to hear this story to begin with. I guess everyone has an off day. Always been top blokes for me to deal with, even before I started parting with serious money. What I particularly like is that they understand me... they know that I've got no desire to part with any cash I don't have to, and they know I'm more than willing to ignore even the best of advice when it doesn't suit my own selfish interests. And yet they still talk to me
I guess this thread really proves the theory - one dissatisfied customer tells XX people, who tell XXXX people etc etc... A message that most shop owners, Stew in particular, will be well aware of.
