My rocket is finally home (and almost complete after 2 months) in the shop. It was taken to a certain dealer in Ohio which shall remain nameless (for now, they still owe me parts) on or about April 20th. It took about a week for my insurer to cut a check so repairs could begin.
It has been 2 months of being told how hard it is to get parts for a 10 year old bike, and that everything was backordered. I know the shop shares at least some of the blame for the delay.
I got the bike back last night still missing the tank badges and the chrome cage that goes around the saddlebag, they were backordered , of course, being 10 years old and all. I nearly had another stroke from being so pissed about it.
With the exception of the handlebars, clutch lever assy and shifter everything else was cosmetic. I really should've (and could've )done it myself. I was in a lot of pain from my injuries and I wasn't paying the bill , so I decided to let a professional do it.
Lesson learned, NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY BIKE NEARLY AS MUCH AS I DO. I would still be waiting if I hadn't shown how seriously pissed off I was.My bike could have been on the road at least 1 month sooner. Even if I were still waiting on some cosmetic ****.
At least it does run and ride right.
