Bike in shop and I'm starting withdrawl
Took the bike in for valve check/adjustment and some misc. I'm bikeless for the next 6 or 7 days due to the weekend and a tranportation problem. I hate this and its only day 1.
I want my bike.

What the, almost a week for maintenance? They don't open on Saturdays? And I thought waiting 5 hours to a day was bad enough for my maintenance work (It takes longer if done on my own).flw wrote:Took the bike in for valve check/adjustment and some misc.

One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

There open on Saturday but if you ask them for anything except a oil change or drop off your bike, you loose two days right there.
Dealer is not very local so I had no choice on dropoff day or pickup day. I do get to hear bikes in the distance running around. Those basturds , there reving it on purpose in my face and its only the begining of day 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Bike in shop and I'm starting withdrawl
I just dropped mine off on Friday and it's going to be a week before they can even look at it. I'll be lucky to see her back before July, at this rate. There were literally hundreds of bikes in the service bay. Thought it was the showroom, but they all had license plates and service orders on themJC Viper wrote:What the, almost a week for maintenance? They don't open on Saturdays?

Things are like that all over. In Edmonton you're looking at a 2-3 week wait at almost any shop before they'll even look at your bike. The shop I work at is booking about a week in advance, but trying to keep spots open for emergencies.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
