Just to make myself clear.... I am in no way bashing Wild West, other than going a couple of weeks.. (probably only 10/12 days) without an update. Dan and "the other guy" have made it a point to contact me or answer my phone calls and emails, letting me know where I am at in repair status. I keep thinking that I am getting it back by the weekend... but as it turns out WHICH weekend is the question. I have ZERO reason to doubt the quality of the repair I am getting yet. I have had NUMEROUS folks on here and in the real world recommend Wild West and to be honest, Dan truely seems to appreiciate where I am coming from. Which is not what I can say about a certian now defunct dealer.
No feelings hurt on my side of the fence, remember I am the guy that has had in his fleet at one time or another VT1100, GL1500's & GL1800's, I never had a break down of any sort with them, but they were never as much fun as this GS is. No my feelings are not hurt, when you are spending money on a bike, I hope you are buying what you WANT, not what you need.... Unlike some, I actually ride my bike MANY, MANY miles a year, and I LOVE IT. Shoot for that matter using the love analogy, I have women treat me just as bad in long term relationships and I have put up with them, so why not a bike, after all I can ride it a lot longer without it complaining.
What agrevates me most right now is that dang, Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock... of the calendar, days are clicking off here and I don't have my bike back.
The service manager (Dan) wrote me back this morning, it appears he is chasing an electrical (canbus?) gremilin due to an ABS Failure. To be honest, I have never had any braking problems in 29,000+ miles of ownership. Other than the rear brake pads not working after getting saturated with lube from the Drive shaft or Final Drive.
I will have this bike back soon, I just know it..... POSITIVE THOUGHTS... POSITIVE THOUGHTS.................................
