RE: Ultimate Throw Down
Molsen,
Just a thought, but if I were you I would print out your two threads here and send them to the MOCO also. Mention that you are discussing this on a forum where as many as 5,000 members might be keeping track of your progress. Not that you need to threaten them but maybe it would help your cause.

RE: Ultimate Throw Down
solorider - how do you think I had so little trouble getting the SE/AC replaced?? 
- I had a folder full of threads concerning the problems with the AC. I'm kind of holding back on sending them the threads, just to give the MOCO a chance to do right on their own. If that fails, I think I'll send them a link to all the threads concerning my situation and start a new one, mabe "AND THE MOCO RESPONDS" - This will be acompanied by a letter, along with copies of all comunications, the history of the machine and the addresses of the BBB, dealership, and my buddy - the Lawyer. This has only just begun, to be continued.... ps, cell phone just went off, Mike at the dealer let me know it's done, offered to stay late if I wanted to get it tonight, have to call him back as I'm covering Latenight Detention @ School - I won't get home till after 5 and then the run out to the dealer would take even longer arainging a lift, mabe I can have it delivered
- I have no intention of ever riding that machine again.

RE: Ultimate Throw Down
navyman - I'm doing this as much for therapy as to help others, it sure bets having a tempertantrum as this way I at least get a few laughs. Just got off the horn with my buddy Mike at the dealer - He has offered to stay as late as it takes for someone to get me out to the dealer to get the bike. Now, should I drive it home or show up with a trailer? - I just have lost all faith in that machine. I'll see if I can line up a trailer, or better yet, I'll load it into the truck and just drive around with it in the back for a while. Haven't heared from the MOCO - this and other exciting updates to follow, stay tuned

Anyone interested in my letter to the MOCO? - it's 3pgs long and from the folks I work with, a pretty good read - all work orders are included - I e-mailed myself a copy so I could just forward if anyone wants for what its worth

RE: Ultimate Throw Down
already made arangments with a buddy to help me load it into my truck and strap it down (a process I am getting VERY GOOD AT!). I'm bringing along a friend as Mike at the dealership is unable to assist in loading due to a paralizing bike acciedent years ago. He is beeing real cool about staying after work for me.

RE: Ultimate Throw Down
Well folks, the bike is home, sort of - it's still in the back of the truck. First time I was every not super psyked to see it. I don't know, I just can believe I'm this attached to a machine to have it cause this amount of frustration and to be a so utterly diapointed. I do not even have the desire to start it. Listen to me - I'm calling it an IT! SHHHHH (now reverse the last two staments). My wife says it was my decision to not drive it, as it is fixed - she's correct, but is she (my wife). I've been here before and never felt like this. The dealer did clean it up nice, I wouldn't have wanted to have that as today's assignment. Oh and they haven't heard from the MOCO, nether have I - stay tuned

RE: Ultimate Throw Down
Don't forget that all of these repairs are recorded documents - that means the value of the bike is a lot lower than the same bike with a clean service record. If I were looking to buy a used bike, I'd run when you gave me it's service history. Let the MOCO know that you feel the bike is depreciated signifigantly. It's sort of like a car that's been in a wreck.
