They should have rung you to let you know what was going on. Not good enough to wait weeks and hear nothing.

Is Ricky still in the workshop?
Mike, Chris, Wiggles and the boys are really good upstairs, but the workshop sometimes gets a bit stretched and Ive found you have to be on their case, a lot of the time, or things just sit there.

Even "good bastards" can decide to treat some customers differently than others. I have recommended bike shops to other riders, who have absolutely hated the service/people etc. There are personality clashes, and all sorts of things to take into account. It's rare as hell to find a shop that will just treat everyone the same way..... fuck, I'm guilty of it where I work, but then again, I'm a complete tosser, so that usually explains half of it.
Homer you shot the zombie Flanders !
He was a Zombie?
From my experiance of 37 years in workshops,and more than 25 years running them - any customer under 40 is a compalining areshole.Any customer over 50 is a pleasure to do work for - They thank you for finding enough things wrong to more than double their bill,for not ringing them up with every little thing,for doing the work in the same day....they pay in cash and never complain.By the time they have reached that age they realise owning a vehicle costs money,they have enough experiance in life to know shit happens....they have learned if they trust someone,they will be trusted in return.Never met a 25 year old who's happy with the work I do,never met a 60 year old who would complain about my work.
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
I wonder how many people work in the shop that has 50 cars through a day? With each car getting charged 3 hours labour I guess there must be at least 18. That is a big garage.

Back on a 250 and riding more than ever.
They (as you can clearly see from this post) don't. Well, not for long anyway.
I've been in five different bike shops over 20 years, and none of them would purposely fuck someone about or rip anyone off.
The bike industry is too small, and too competitive to have that attitude.
I bought a shock off them (It was posted that someone there might be a bit grumpy) but i found them great to deal with and got a good price.
They were playing some kind of modern music a bit loud when i got there,if it has been Elvisor something i would have given them a 11 out of 10 rating.

What idiot leaves their "new" motorcycle in 150 kmp/h winds during a storm? HELLO !!
Say no more.
Someone just starting out on their first bike?
We all make mistakes and learn the 'hard way' when we start out mate!
Mind you, in Wellington....you could've taken your bike to work on a beautiful
sunny morning and parked it up nicely....only to have it turn to shite in around an hour and have it blown over!
