You're Not Gonna Believe It...

As a VROC member put it, I've got enough material to write a book. On the way home from Denver, the bike developed an oil leak. It could have been there in Denver, but I didn't notice it. I was in Kansas at the time that I noticed it. When I got back to Memphis, I took it to the shop here. It spent three weeks on the floor of the shop before they could get to it. (Don't get me started on how motorcycle shops can't keep their shops on schedule or stocked with basic parts...). They determined this past week that the leak was with the clutch cover gasket. I had them send me the service estimate (overcharged on labor, of course), which I passed on the Colorado Powersports in Boulder. I assumed, wrongly of course, that Colorado Powersports would pay to fix their mistakes. Come to find out today, that I was wrong. So, the bike is getting fixed this week in Memphis. I'll be calling today to speak with the owner of the Boulder shop to discuss his options. I have no patience for them anymore. I've given them two months' worth, which is about a month and a half more than they deserve, and I'm done being nice to them. If you live in the Denver area, and have need of a motorcycle shop/dealership, avoid Colorado Powersports at all costs.
