Well my bike is done but I can't pick it up because the mechanic that worked on it did not turn the work order in to the desk and he is off until Wednesday! What a crock! I sure would like to throttle that guy right now. I am going to have to seriously work on my people skills before I go to pick it up. They said it is probably locked up in his toolbox. What a disappointment. F$%ker. Somebody needs to get on the phone and get his *** up there in my opinion.

Man that sux. Did ya tell them you have a cane that is capable of beating them senseless? I would have thought everything was logged into a computer. Print-it, pay, and be done.

Hang in there.

Sounds to me like it's time to take a very long test ride on one of their new bikes.

I would go up and look at the bike and see if it is really done and have a talk with the GM or owner.
