ORIGINAL: atticuszak

just accidentally did $368 dollars of damage to my bike taking off a piece i thought was a cover. go me for being a dumb A$$. anyway after dealing with all this i was thinking about my prepaid maitinace that i paid for when i got my bike. i forget what its called but like tires, breaks, oil whatever i think i have all that that im paying for on my month to month payments.. thing is .. i never got anything saying when i hit certain points in mileage what i need to have done. ... should i have ? .. i mean when i bought a vespa they didnt give me anything but everytime i went in they were asking me mileage and how many months and such .. just wondering if there is anything or what i should do.


or call me completely retarded cuz i dunno what im paying for but im sure there was a prepaid something on it outside of the extended service plan .. which is like extended warranty correct ?




thanks AZ
Okay, I have to ask. What did you pry off that set ya back $368.00, and what model bike?
