I'm annoyed...

[bucket boy]

It's being plastic welded. A heat gun and plastic rods are used for it.
They would have been better to chuck a new fairing on and leave the tank if you were happy with it.

insurance to fix to the condition prior to accident i would tell them to f..k of and replace with one that doesnt look like shit on the inside

[mstriumph]

aaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

i HAVEN'T been riding herd on the garage because i know they are busy and would hate anyone breathing down MY neck when i was working for them ....

so - i've left if a whole week before phoning for a progress report

at the risk of repeating myself -- aaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

these IDIOTS, these utterly cretinous, half-witted, moronic, benighted, ill-favoured, illigitimate sons of a syphilitic, drivelling she-camel with halitosis NOW tell me "the quote isn't going in until tomorrow as we - erm - mislaid your paperwork last week"

*drools and looks around furtively for blunt instrument....*

Oh mutha of all incompitencies and moronic behaviours... One can only assume they are severely jealous of your fine self and bike that they have started a consipiracy.
That Sucks!!!!
Kudos to you for not taking out a hit on them. Are they going to give you some reparation (a replacement bike perhaps) to make up for it? Maybe you could now demand a new fairing?

aaaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

So they shouldn't have too many objections to sorting you out a loaner eh?

GD I hope my insurance work isn't following a similar path, I haven't been chasing them because I know how I respond to pushy people

Yep that's the bit right there that keeps me insured.
2x minor bins last year with a repair bill that would've set me back about $18000 if I wasn't insured

Yip one minor bin and It's probably worth around 8k already, it's had me thinking seriously about cheaper bikes and third party cover.

[Mikkel]

It could be worse - the insurance company could be "reluctant" to see the work done right first time over.

But yes, waiting for your bike sucks! At least you're not out there looking for 2 exhaust valves for an 18 year old bike

Regarding insurance - the testarossa story shows how important 3rd party is. But just imagine not having comprehensive cover - picking up your new lovely bike that you've been dreaming about for ages just to have it stolen or run over by some idiot with no insurance inside a month. Insurance is the way to go I reckon.

'just happened to be passing' late yesterday arvo and dropped in .....

"just wanted reassurance that the quote got to the Assessor OK" says i

"quote" says he

"yes" says i - "the one you told me yesterday you'd be sending in today"

"well, we didn't actually GET the quote yet but it'll definately be here tomorrow" says he

"i can see you are busy" says i" ....... "mebbe you can phone the person who's meant to be getting it to you and give them a hurryup?"
it's a minute to closing time - i make myself comfortable and smile.......

he phones - says "oh did you?" starts rummaging thru the paperwork all over the desk - finds the quote he didn't get - or mebbe it's the first quote, the one that got lost .... who knows

i look it over
at least one thing is wrong description/colour
i point it out
he says it will go in today

i manage not to start sobbing until i am a good 5 minutes from the workshop

i am beginning to understand the fundementals underpinning mayhem ......
