Would you let this slide?
Had an interesting experience yesterday and it's still on my mind. I live a 3 hr drive from my dealer. I'm having a strange problem with my bike and the service mgr was kind enough to have an employee drive me home. It was a cold and wet day. For the last hour of the drive this guy got to going well over 100 mph on wet roads. He seemed in control and I elected to ride it out without comment but I have no doubt that if I called the service manager and told him the story, the guy would be fired on the spot. I don't intend to make that call but I'd hope that some customer down the road doesn't pay a big price for riding with this guy. I don't want to see someone lose their job but what he did was reckless with my life.

I'd mention it - he's a danger to himself and other road users at that speed in those conditions. If he wants to ride like that when alone - that's his choice. But with a customer? I think not...

No doubt he simply drove the way he wanted to with no regard for me. He has to be stupid as he should know just a phone call and he'd be fired...still, as the first said, I made a conscious decision to not complain...but I was definitely glad when I got out.

I'm not going to azzhole. It wasn't about having the ***** to complain...hell, he was a kid. I just thought he seemed in control although going too fast. We'd had a pleasant trip...I just decided to take the chance.

IDK Man, IMO you shoulda' said something to the driver as soon as he started that ****. It's beyond me how anyone could just sit there and not say anything when some moron he never met starts driving like a maniac. At this point, I'd let it go.
So... you took the chance and now you wanna bitch about it?? You're a day late and a dollar short, my Friend.
