Bikeshop muppets

Got new hoops last week. The front felt really peaky on corners and was ending up with larger chicken strips than the rear. Thinking I knew what was going on I just had a look and sure enough they fucked the profiles. Put a 70 instead of a 60 on the front and a 60 on the rear. Fuckheads.

Name and shame mate - who was it?

Canberra Motorcycle Centre in Mitchell(Canberra)

Bought my first bike there when it was called The Stable.

[zx12argh]

That's ok mate, I wound up with a 130 insted of a 120 on the front of mine thanks to Future<s>we'reeabunchofinbredmorons</s>Sport Suzuki in Townsville.

Plus they also forgot to replace half the fairing clips on the blade when they replaced the motor cause the gearbox turned itself into toothpaste 120k's after I bought it from them, so it started cracking round the fairing mounts. I know that isn't such an issue since fairings are for poofters, but I just don't have the coin to fighter it right now, so its being run around sans most of the fairings except the head fairings which in turn looks really dodgy.

In short don't buy a bike from them, or get tyres fitted there.

Their spare parts chick may be eye candy, but she also managed to sell me the wrong visor as well (yeah yeah I know it's really my fault for not checking it right?) Nope, I haven't been back, nor am I paying the bill they keep trying to get me to pay for a replacement donk for the bike. Especially since it was supposed to be less than half what they decided to charge me in the end for it. Poofters. I've never done a wheelstand in my life by clutching the bike and managed to bend the selector forks in the gearbox. What a load of old bollox...

Does Steve Koppe still own that Suzuki shop? Is that the one near the causeway?

[Lucas]

Causeway as in the Govt housing suburb in Kingston? The only Suzi shop that I know of is in Queanbeyan but I have no idea who owns it.
