Tire change gone bad

[crashpete]

I had my tire replaced last week at GoAZ in Peoria, AZ. When I get on the bike to leave I noticed that the abs light is on, no big deal and it's late so I go home. This was Thursday of last week. Saturday I head into work no problems, then on the way home there is a traffic stoppage so I mash the rear and the front brakes. The rear end swings to my left I let off it corrects and I mash the rear again, it swings out more this time I let off and probably five to ten feet from the rear of the car in front of me I dump it over. No big deal I push the bike to the shoulder and I wait a bit and it fires right up and I head home. Today I took it into the dealer (abs ring was bent on the tire install, something I find out myself thanks to this forum) they look at it and give me a BMW loaner bike, part is only available in England and it will take a week to get. Now they want to give me my bike back and take back the loaner while I wait, does that sound reasonable? I'm a little iffy.

This is what they gave me.

They should in good faith leave the loaner with you until yours is fixed, the first time your back end swung round was clue #1 that your ABS was not activating now #2 was on you glad you were not hurt and the lesson to learn from this is check all work before leaving the premises and stop mashing on the brakes

I knew that the abs was bad before the tire swing. I think it's reasonable that they keep it. I'll take half of the blame for dumping it, abs would have saved my crash bars, they got scuffed a little.

I'm glad that I didn't hurt anyone, I can get another r3r, you'd be amazed at what you do at speed to avoid hitting someone! The engine was in third gear and it died as soon as I dumped it.
