Is Mark's son, Ryan still working the sales counter? And Jay isn't the Jay that works with Mark on the sales end is he?

Jay and Ryan pretty much work in the back now, but at any given moment they may be up front. They're all really good at taking care of what needs to be done at any given moment. They have hired an older gentleman to work the counter. Jay asked about you (when you didn't show up) for the E.S. departure. I told him that you stood us up for a date with Cher.

What did he say to that? He was actually my sales man when I went to look at and bought my Rocket. Mark was off on some race trip that weekend.

He got a good laugh out of it.

The service manager at Capitol Triumph in Raleigh didn't have any problem with mine. He said a lot of their R3 owners were going that way.

I just picked up my Rock from the $360.81 20k service (what are the rest of you paying?) with no valve adjustment (not required on 20k). After getting over the sticker shock, the mechanic (very good man) points out that the owner made him write the comment on the bottom of the ticket (car tire on rear makaes motorcycle unsafe to ride)...wtf? I brought it in for a service, not his opinion of a tire that I did not consult him on, nor did he have anything to do with the installation. I have a mine to ask him, do you do this with every Darkside, or Worn out Metz? I'll probably just let it go...it's a no win/not worth pissing my local dealer off subject. I just needed to vent. Maybe he thinks he would be liable if he didn't warn me, just like my doc that I work for has to tell obese people that if you haul 1 ton of cargo in a 1/2 ton truck, it's probably not to good on it.

Snuff,

I wonder if any of the Honda dealers have made the same notation for all of those Valkyrie and Gold Wing riders who crossed over.

From what I saw, you are far from obese. Just a meduim sized guy with a solar panel for a sex machine under your hat..........

(and a small hole in your head)........

Tom,

I am sorry, but I have to give him credit, that is funny.

Britman, I wonder also. I started to ask if he made the same notation on the other Darksiders (I know there's at least one), or on the bike they were working on that was showing cord through the rubber. But after I asked about the warranty, and he said "it's all good", I choose to (if ever) fight that battle another day. I tried to get my wife to let me go buy another bike from the dealer in Ft.Worth or Austin, just to show him "what for". You know, teach him a lesson...but she wouldn't budge

I got the same treatment at my 10k service mechanics not on service order read
Has car tire
has trailer hitch
has CB Radio

I have not had any need to go back but I think I am still good with the warranty issue.
But I spose they could bail on any Transmission,Drive train, Electrical issues. that just about covers everything that could go wrong. Well they might cover the back pad on the sissy bar.

Well.... I do have a small hole in my head. An extra hole that is. Oh, never mind :kk:

Britman. I tried to get my wife to let me go buy another bike from the dealer in Ft.Worth or Austin, just to show him "what for". You know, teach him a lesson...but she wouldn't budge

Wouldn't teach him anything. He already has your money from the original bike. Just move your service for the existing bike to the other dealer if you think they would be more customer friendly.
