Well I picked up the bike yesterday :guitarist :king: and am very happy with it though the bike shop soured the it a little by being tight arses...

nthecan:
First let me ask what you all think, I negotiated a ride away price with what I thought was 12 months rego, then they tell me no they are only paying for 3. I let them know I was not happy and they later tell me that it's ok because the bike is actually still registered for 6 months so I asked them if they were going to throw the 3 months in on top and they said NO...they were going to keep that money...after further voicing my disapproval they said I was welcome to use that money (AU$119) in the accessories shop and that because of this mix up and the purchase that they would look after me with any accessories.
So I go in to pick the bike up, pay the balance, picked out $1300 worth of gear and went to pay for it and he deducts the $119 (for the rego) and asks for the balance...no discount...I question this and he said the $119 was the discount and that if he gives it to me any cheaper it will be below cost...at this point I'm looking for the hidden camera...so I reminded them they were supposed to be looking after me with this purchase, he asks me what would I consider fair so I said 20% he and said they would knock $100 off and that’s it so I said no thanks went around the corner and got more than 10% discount on the same gear from a bike shop I didn't just spend $28,000 at.
Big rant for a little thing but this sort of thing irritates me and sadly this was not the extent of their less than satisfying service.
My ride was even more eventful. After the bike was getting cooked in traffic (it was 33C yesterday) I got to the start of the freeway to head into the hill and as Is was hot I lane split to the front and took off an old guy beeps me when I take off and further up the road beeps again and motions me to pull over...I was thinking that something was hanging off the bike but no he tells me that I was over the solid white line at the front and that’s against the law and the way I took off (guys it was slow new bike and all) was driving without due care and that he was going to report me. :wtf: He's lucky I'm not the sort of person that would knock him out for that but I must say part of me wanted to.
I'm out of time now but will continue on with my impressions of the bike and why I now have to replace my front guard. Photos soon.
