Ok, so for those of you who dont know what happend. I shipped my bike from Florida to San Diego CA. It took them aprox 2weeks to ship my bike. After I got it here, the bike was damaged, cosmetic's wise.
No big deal, I got the estimate on my bike for 2,900$. I picked it up from lee's cycles so I could have my bike to ride. Its my primary mode of transportation. I have it here at the barracks and I'm cleaning my bike and I notice something odd about the rear fender.
On the normal part of the fender, it was nice and glossy; the "other part" was not. It was rough and dull looking. I didnt notice this at first, so I just thought "Oh, no big deal....the butt monkey's that shipped my bike rubbed the clear coat off right here with a pad or something." WRONG! I took it back to Lee's Cycle's and he was like "Oh yeah, I saw that when you first brought it up here, I thought you did the patch job."
"Patch job?" i say.... He replies: "yeah, I thought you patched this hole here your self.."
WOW! I wanted to kill some ****ing terd that shipped my bike. These cheap bastid's had some how managed to punch a hole in my rear faring, pulled it back threw, bondoed it, sanded it down, smoothed it out, taped it off, and used a paint that matches perfectly. But they didnt blend it or anything, nor apply any clear coat there.
So there you have it, poopy shipping in a nut shell. My new estimate is roughly 3,400$. Anyways, DONT SHIP YOUR BIKE THREW THE MILITARY!
