Default Chi-town,shoddy work!

On "May 16th,,,I brought my Bike to your dealer ship.DID I MAKE A MISTAKE?
It was dieing out.(like their service people wrote it up"losing power")I
thought to myself,maybe I should have it fixed"PROFESSIONLY"???? thats why I
chose Chi-town !
Was that a mistake???
On ,May29th I picked the bike up.After costing me $1408.80(almost $1000.00
in LABOR,THE REST IN PARTS) To which I had "NO PROBLEM"
paying...........Until I rode it home.....

The bike popped alot,so I called "CHI TOWN",rb,said it was the nature of the
"beast" ! Oh really !
After having it put on the Dyno and all....

That was a wednesday....On saturday of that week.I atempted to take a
ride...what a MISTAKE...
The bike died out......popped ,,,,,,then it would not start for me.

Monday,,,Steve,picked up the bike (would not start for him either).
That was June 4th,,or around that day.........Friday ,June 29th...Chi-town
people called me ,to say "come pick the bike up"......

Saturday June 30th......went there.....GOT NO PAPER WORK,,(RIGHT THERE I
KNEW SOMTHING WAS WRONG) I sat on the bike to leave.......and you know
what ????

THE DAM BIKE WOULD NOT START ...WTF ????

Is this a competance issue? Is this a qualify tech problem ?? Is this the
nature of the beast ???
Or is this the nature of " CHI TOWN HARLEY"?
