Hey ******* if it were your bike with the attitude you have I bet you would be screaming and hollering about the condition.

I had already bought the bike and it was delivered to my house from their sister dealership.

I did go there because they are three miles from my house. They couldn't give me the deal I got from War Horse HD. Guess now I know why...

Nope, it was because of the lack of resolve by the service guy to make the issue right, dick head.

Yeah, that was uncalled for. Considering the circumstances, I think the OP handled it the best way he could. I bet he isn't finished yet.

Save those comments for guys with man buns, wearing rompers, spinning a fidgit spinner in left hand and toking off his vape from the right while attending an anti-Trump ralley.

It wasn't clear to me. Did you look over the bike closely before your purchased it and it didn't have the rust? Or, it was rusty and they were going to fix that? I think it would have to be a great deal for me to agree with that deal.

Nope, I bought the bike at War Horse HD in Ocala because they said they had a brand new one in Velocity Red in stock at their sister dealership, Crystal River HD. It was late in the day and I had to leave town the following day. So, I did the paperwork at War Horse HD. They delivered it the following morning. The rest is nightmare...
