[QUOTE="EricGorr, post: 215563, member: 19611"] Be easy on PitMonkey guys, he's a kid who missed his bike for a while and maybe used some wrong semantics. I admit that during that week in September I was moving a little slow, I was bummed out about the whole thing and just had a tough time working. I was thinking today about dishonesty in the motorcycle industry and some examples from motorcycle shops or mail order businesses. These are all true stories and some happened to me. Maybe you guys have some horror stories too. Dishonesty is... 1) Send your perfectly good engine in for a minor service and they tell you it needs a complete rebuild with loads of parts. 2) Send your parts in for service and the tranny gets swapped for a lame one. 3) Buy parts mail order and get a box with a COD tag for cash only and theres only a back-order invoice with a brick that represents the part inside the box. 4) Drop your motorcycle off at a bike shop before opening hours only to have the shop steal and part it out. 5) Bring your bike to a shop for service and go to a riding area to find the mechanics beating on your bike. 6) A mail order company runs a special deal on suspension servicing so a bunch of people send their expensive parts in, and the guy goes out of biz and sells the parts in a foriegn country. 7) You buy a works style aluminum tank one year and the company that sold it to you makes a special offer to you the next year for a new aluminum tank and offers a buy back for a great deal. Then the guy keeps your tank, polishes it up and resells it for brand new. Sound freaky? I know some way worse stories than that! Anybody else know of any fine examples of bad business practises? Please no names, just general scenarios. Any naming that could be libelous will be censored. Have at it! [/QUOTE]
