Welcome back PF

[thehollowmen]

can sympathise with that... that's why I haven't updated lj in a while

not many people would understand what's going on...

[Mr Skid]

Two pages worth and I still don't know what the hell you're on about.

Did you let JSG ride your bike or something?

[mstriumph]

no, I'm not gonna name names, I'm just pissed bout it, and won't go back there. This rant wasn't about the shitty service, it was about not being to rant about that (confusing I know)...

The dude is a good guy in the sense of friendliness, but I found the work not too great, maybe I was just a one off, because I've never heard anyone else complain about it... and I know I'll ruffle a lot of feathers, and I'd rather not...

if this WAS a once off, don't you think perhaps this person would PREFER you told him .. so he could fix it? wouldn't YOU if it were you in a similar position?

why not give him the opportunity? you could both benefit....

my 2c

[oh yes - and great to see you back PF ]

[Yokai]

lol priests don't like me... I'm just gonna take my business somewhere else next time...

What, like to a Buddhist elder or something?

What's really annoying is that I want to rant about not being able to rant and now you've already done that so it's stolen my thunder... arse....

(thunder arse? ... Hmmm)

But on a more serious note, it is a difficult situation that you are in. I'd be inclined to mention it in passing when you are around the dude in question and say "Shit man - do you have anything that can get scratches out of rims? cos when it went in for the service I didn't notice it, but when it came back I did, and I need to get it sorted...."

Or something - don't blame the dude, but let him know that you know what happened... Frankly though people that mess up my bike need a good :eyepoke:

[Lou Girardin]

Scratching unblemished rims is no joke. Confront him/them, ask what they'll do about it.
If the answer is not to your satisfaction, then post details.
Other members aren't shy about naming names.

[Motu]

But get your facts right before naming names...make sure you are blamless before laying blame.Perhaps you could invite the other party to put their side on this site too....I'm sure there is another side here,and I want to hear it....

[vifferman]

I have a suspicion (perhaps having been there myself) that I know exactly what Placid the Femme is on about, and perhaps even who, and the frustration this engenders. Like, the rims were obviously not deliberately scratched, and therefore would moaning about them make you appear to be a bigger arsehole than the person who's (allegedly) scratched them was for (allegedly) scratching them?
But yet, the fact remains that the rims are now scratched, and getting them unscratched is a costly option.
What to do... What to do...

[mstriumph]

but surely it's not ABOUT being an arsehole? i mean, no-one is seriously suggesting that the damage was done deliberately or maliciously are they? it's merely a question of getting it put right and, logically, the person who ought to do that is the person responsible for the damage in the first place?

[Lou Girardin]

It would piss me off totally if some shop did that to my new bike. Scratched rims make an otherwise tidy bike look like crap.

Are you saying my bike looks like crap? [aggressive fighty thingo here]

It probably does now that it has a scratched rim AND a dent in the tank, the latter courtesy of me dropping a length of hardwood dowling on it.:slap:

[pyrocam]

back on topic. yeah it does suck when you want to rant but you cant without basically looking like a shit stirrer.

option one. keep it to yourself
option two. fuck that, this is the internet ffs. just winge and post it on another forum.

[inlinefour]

I think that this thread is pointless. If someone has done something wrong then you have to have the balls (pun) to talk to whoever it is responsible. Most of the people I know in business would rather sort out a problem than have it snowball into a big pile of preverbial. You have created quite a stirr, it would appear and as mentioned before, there are two sides to the story. Sounds like you have not yet taken it up with the person(s) responsible. Sounds like you have also had plenty of time to do it, so unless your going to do the right thing, don't expect too much simpathy from me. There is a right way and a wrong way to go about this and I feel that this is the wrong way.
