Took the old girl for a 19 day trip down South....
Never missed a beat.
Danseys pass , no worries.
But Christchurch road"works" took their toll, belt snapped just out of town in Marshlands on a friday.
Was a brandnew belt to. Installed just before the trip, coz the old one had a hole in it for years.....
Anyhow, call rolling thunder: No belt in stock....earliest they could get one is next thursday!
no other Harley dealer in NZ had one in stock either.....
Unf*****inbelievable!
If there is one thing that is prone to be in need of quick replacement on a Harley its the belt!
Rang Radical choppers in Kaiapoi....
They had a belt in stock, in fact they sold another 2 belts over the counter when i got there at about 2 pm on the back of a towtruck.
Belt got replaced, and ready to go on monday morning 10 am.
very friendly and professional service.
got 2 phonecalls to ask if they should replace a couple of other things that needed attention while they were up there.....
High praise for Radical Choppers.
High praise for AA... ( i had AA plus) got towtruck and rental car over the weekend, so stayed in Hanmer springs till bike was ready...
Very unimpressed with Harley dealerships. ...
could have been end of my trip.....plus hassle of dealing with bike in different island stranded.....
just so you know.....
