Nothing but junk in the last month

Well,
At the end of October I had Magics in Shelby Township rebuild my RM250 crank. They send out all of the work... I took this crank to MCR and had the whole motor rebuilt. Whoever did the crank work for Magics pressed it to tight and it wasn't true.. So I paid $160 for a crank rebuilt in the end. I confronted the guys today as I have $40 worth of oil and plugs on the counter and they gave me the run around.. They said I should have brought it in for them to look at, ok, this would do no good without a feeler gage and jig ( doubtful a retail store would have these).. Then the kid goes on to bad mouth Matt Crown, saying that he made it all up to take more money from me... Looks like I will no longer be buying from them anymore, which is poor considering I've gone to them for more than 10 years..
I also purchased some Primary Drive sprockets from Rocky Mountain MC..
The rear was warped and I sent it back no hassel.. I went to put the front on a few days ago... No way in hell is this for a 2003 RM250... The chick wanted to argue will me, because the package says it will fit.. Now, she wants me to send them back on my dime and they will issue a credit...

The only good thing that has gone well was with Carhartt.. I bought a one piece from Contractors Clothing in Madison Heights.. The day before Thanksgiving... A few days ago the left leg zipper broke.. Contractors wanted nothing to do with it other than sent it back to Carhartt and it takes 4 weeks for a zipper repair.. The agent I spoke with said that was unacceptable and had me a new garment from contractors the next day...

Happy new year everyone

any of you michigan boys know a good local suspension tuner?? im planning on tech care but wouldnt mind some other options

the best parts guy i know of is dan over at C&C in brighton, bar none he will get you the right part first time every time, and knows everything, kinda freakish, the guy knows my bike better than i do , he knows where i have my jetting set at etc. good for sleds too. costs a little extra but worth every bit

See I use MCR for my suspension and motor work and they DO A GREAT JOB... Sometimes it's busy and it takes longer than expected BUT, you get a good job...
Matt Crown does great work as does his staff..
I have friends that like Tech-Care, some that are not so happy.

Snow, HA.. where, non-here... at all... Not even good trail conditions to ride sleds up north

Well, My suspension rebuilt and revalve took 3 days... My motor was supposed to be done in two weeks instead it took almost a month... BUT, they had some snags with parts and took a weej off for the mini-olympics...
All depends on the time of year I guess...
