Am I right to feel gypped ?

OK today I ordered all my parts, a nice 1850 worth and also an N102, so
2350 all up. I put 1k down as deposit and asked if I could collect a
loaner for a few days.

Previously I've been given a loaner when waiting for a clutch cable (and
every other time I've asked) so I sorta thought it was a given I could
get one based on previous experience.

Anyway the boss and the dude who does the loans is away and I got told no.

Am I right to feel gypped ? I know I might be a little keen to get on a
bike after almost 3 months, and have that anticipation skewing my
expectations, but I still feel rather gypped.

Is that unfair of me ?

 

Nope. I'd be inclined to cancel the order.

Let them learn the hard way...

 

There's one local dealer that does Hyo parts.. and that's these guys,
who're normally good, as stated. Beyond that it's a ride to Taree or
something .. and without a bike that's a no go.

I can get my lid elsewhere but with the 'you bought a bike here 10% off'
discount, that's $50 I'd be paying just to spite myself..

Best I could do at the time was only pay the deposit rather than the
full amount up front (my cheque book which was in my pocket).

 

I always get one, but I make sure I ask for one at time of booking the
service work.

Well, if you bought a new bike from a dealer, then the clutch cable
broke, and they didn't have a replacement, I could see that a certain
level of embarrassment might have prompted them to lend you a bike.

Now, you have ordered parts (you don't say if the shop gets the job of
fitting) that you broke.

You have, obviously, survived without a bike now for some time, so the
shop doesn't have much sense of obligation to lend you a bike.

Yes.

1929! For any service work on a vehicle, you have a lot less power of
negotiation after you give them your vehicle. I have people who want to
service our company cars. We negotiated that they will guarantee us a loan
vehicle, and I will pay them $10 for same.

You are a fucking scrooge Theodore

 

Ah George. Should I have offered them more than they asked for?

We're a really mean company George. That time we took all the staff to the
Hard Rock Hotel in Bali, for the staff Xmas party, was definitely an
abberation. We only gave them the Friday and Monday off too. Last year we
went cheaper to a resort down near Margaret River.

You are a smart business man Theo.

interestingly i have a saved 'hyosung' search on ebay ..
didnt tell me about it.

Ta Smiley.

 

Agreed.. Most shops would only have 1 or 2 loaner bikes which would
normally be given to people getting their bikes serviced on a first come
first served basis.

He should feel a bit gypped that he's paid them $500 for a $400 helmet,
though.
