Default Experience with Indy

I'm pissed, and I'll try to make this short.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
First, it took him a week longer than he promised to put on my mini-apes.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I gave him nearly an extra week to get it done because I was out of town.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Second, it took him a week longer than promised to fix my engine...after I gave him yet another few extra days because of another trip out of town.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Third, I paid him $70 cash to order me a new Mustang backrest pad when I picked up the bike after the mini-ape installation.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; It's been nearly 2 months since that transaction and he sent it by accident to another customer in another state.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; He won't return my 4-5&nbsp\\;messages and won't answer the phone...and today I drove the 35 miles to get my money back to find out he closed 30 minutes early...knowing I was coming today.

Just goes to show not all Indy's are stand up guys, the same as not all dealers are stealers. Good rep and word of mouth from other bikers goes a long way. Leave him a message and tell him you're gonna post up his name&nbsp\\;and his shop here and every other bike forum on the web.
