Default Yesterday's ride

Well it was nice out and I finished a bunch of "honey do's" so I went for a quick spin. I stopped by Moto Insanity which is not far from me. I can't tell you how many time I passed that place after hours. Looks like a great shop and boy are they busy. Nick was cool enough to answer a bunch of questions and show me around.
It was cool gettign out for a little bit before the snow comes back.
Oh and I noticed they have a SBA sticker on the front door:biggthump

Yea, until they tell you your engine has NO compression, then ends up just being really flooded

i bought my 2nd bike through them and it was quite possibly the worst experience in my life, it seems that there is no communication between anyone, one person would tell me one thing while another would tell me something.....took me a fuckin month for the bike i bought to be ready!!!!!!!!!!!!! then the undertail i bought which was supposed to be on it when i picked it up along with some other parts took even longer just to get there......then it took them almost 2 weeks to get it put on after they got the part!!!!!!! 2 fuckin weeks!!!! what are you fuckin kiddin me, i almost killed the manager a couple of times, he told me like almost everyday for a week to come down and pick it up cuz i would be ready and everyday i got there and sure enough it wasn't..........also it seemd once i bought the bike they didn't give a rats ass about me anymore...i paid for it CASH!!!!so its not like i didn't have any money..........i recommend anywhere but there for a bike
