Go ride...somewhere else.
LMFAO!

i doubt the bike left the factory that way.. the emblem was probably loose and fell off in the crate or on the showroom floor,its just double side tape,sometimes it isnt pushed on hard enough to bond.then someone found it and wasn't paying attention or was trying to be funny..i have had a few emblems fall off and i restuck them during new bike build up..i always put them back on rite..

If that is really true, then someone who is angry probably did that on purpose. I would not have bought the bike unless they threw in an extended warranty.
