Because no one else even cares.
Three weeks later I'M still paying for my Bike trip in October to VT.
1) My shoulder still hurts from falling out of the Alpine Slide in Stowe VT.
2) I have yet to fix the interior wall of my trailer from the bike to wall contact on the way up
3) My bike is still in the shop from the bike to bike contact on the trip home.
Wa wa waaaaaa
I dropped my bike off at Unlimited Motorsports in South Windsor CT Monday the day after I returned. Some of you guys will remember this shop as we use to do Dyno days there. Their quality of work IMO is second to NONE. They work on complete resto's on classic cars. Well they moved to a new location and the two partners split up. Nonetheless Chad is still there who does the painting.
So I called the insurance company and put the claim in. Chad said that he couldn't easily matched the Candy paint job. He told the adjuster that if he had to it could become expensive.
So they decided to order a new tank from HD. Fine by me so he ordered it and the appraisal for damage was $1100. So yesterday Chad calls me and says that the dealer ordered the WRONG tank! The tank I need which is a Limited Edition custom color would be a 8 week delivery and there would be NO guarantee on a 100% match!
WTF!!!! :sad:
So he asks what do I want to do?
I could wait the 8 weeks and the season is over no Thanksgiving charity rides for me OR we could do what I discussed with him when I dropped the bike off and that was painting it Tangerine Candy with ghost flames!
My cost would be approx $2000.
Well screw it he's putting some paint schemes together for me next week and I guess I'll have some new pictures for you guys in a few weeks.
Wa wa waaaaaa ):h
