Many, many years ago, when my teeth were short and Shep was just a small pup, we decided to get married one afternoon. Back then you didn't have to go through a waiting period or anything. You just got a quick blood test, went by the court house and gave the preach a ten spot and you were good to go. I remember very well that once that ceremony was over how eager we were to "get on with the honeymoon" part of the wedding. If anybody would have given me any grief about waiting for a day or two before I could do a 'test ride" of sorts, I would have been hot. That was sixty years ago and at the end of the day it would not have made any difference if we had to wait a day or two. The results would have been the same. So the dealer is being a bit of an AH because he didn't rush right out and go fetch your bike. Don't sweat it. In the grand scheme of things it is not important. I am guessing the dealer had been married for quite a while and has forgotten what it was like that first day. Who knows?

If it were me, I'd at least let my feelings be known to the dealer, Then I'd ask for a lift to the other dealer and ride home.

yeah i'd raise a LITTLE hell about it.

not too much though, in case you're considering bringing your bike back there for service and ****.

go make them sweat for a few minutes and see if you can't get a few nice freebie's out of the deal.

at the most, i'd ask for a rental
