Fun reading! Op, just remember that if you ask for opinions, that's just what you're gonna get. Not everyone is going to give the one you want to hear. Besides, the blasters are what made this fun to read! Myself, I would have to get it fixed. It would drive me nuttier than I already am.

Yeah, I can't believe it was even in the show room. They should have kept it in back. Once I started to get serious I told them that once I pay for it, it's going home with me and that I'd bring it back for the repair.

People that work on automobile assembly lines and build Harley Davidson motorcycles have some of the most boring jobs in the world. One of the things that plagues that type of work is complacency. These type of jobs historically with have quality issue unless there are very strict QA standard.
Case and point. There wouldnt be as many legitimate customer complaints if 3 factors didn't exist. Making substandard parts, building poor quality into a motorcycle and poor quality control.
