Default RE: WTF? Swingarm scratched!!!

A friend of mine took his brand new Fatboy into a local dealer to have something done necessitating removal of the rear wheel. He got it back with a HUGE gouge out of the rims from someone positioning it wrong before shoving it forward to drape the belt over the sprocket.

It gets better ...

His wife took her Street Bob in to have new pegs installed (I know ... I know ) and when she got it back there was a scratch all the way down to metal about two inches long on the lower frame rails.

Now THOSE guys know how to treat a customer's motorcycle. [sm=chairshot.gif]
