    Mate, you're wreaking the shit out of your own post there. Use a spelunker or some form of auto-carrots at least...

    There is a bottom to that tea cup and it has been found, anything else pertaining to this topic is now just subjective bullshit.

    Don't bother offering loaner bikes to people that'll slag you off on a forum if you make a mistake?

    Possibly, but I would suggest that'll be difficult to spot.... this bit ''Check the warrant and registration of any rental or loaner bikes''.

    But they booked the guy a loaner. Therefore it was there job and responsibility to make sure there was a properly prepared and road legal one available as promised. If they can't handle all the many *jobs* they take on in a day maybe they should hire more or better organized staff.

    If they were any fucking good they sure as shit wouldn't have let a bike with no WOF or rego out the door. Pete I bet you would have done things a bit differently....

    Yep, have mentioned if they booked (well, were meant to have booked) him one, then they should've had one for sure. But we all make mistakes, and at least they still gave him one. Yeah, not having it wof'ed etc is a balls up. But seriously...is it worth slagging the poor cunts off here? I certainly don't think so. It's certainly not something I'd ever do. And when I drop my ute off for work, I always arrange my own way home/back to work/ back to pick it up. Maybe I'm just a weird cunt.

    I do wonder if all involved in the "courtesy / loan" vehicle business are to blame... both givers-of-vehicle and takers-of-vehicle?

    Used to drop car off and get someone to pick you up, or drop car off at garage near work and walk [if you were lucky they might drop you there], or drop car off and catch public transport. Then someone decided that they'd offer a courtesy vehicle and now every man and his dog expects a loaner even when they just drop the vehicle in to have the presets on the radio done!

    Nowadays, everyone expects this... and when it doesn't work then... [you can insert whatever phrase you like to finish that statement!]. It seems to have moved from "that was nice of them to do that" to "why haven't I got one too?"

    Perhaps once it might have given a dealer / garage an advantage, but with everyone doing it do you get sufficient advantage to warrant the expense - in all ways - of providing a courtesy / loan vehicle?

    Just a few thoughts...

    It amazes me that panelbeaters have loan cars for people who have just smashed up their own.

    A sure sign that you have nothing else to add to a debate is to focus on a typo.

    Every time I see one of those vehicles I think... better avoid it. Of course, some could be the victim... but some aren't
