Oops, we forgot to actually order your parts.

After waiting restlstly for a week I went to pick up my new stator. "What stator?" "You don't have anything on order"?
They forgot to place the order. Now, I'm am a grown man and this sort of thing shouldn't bother me but I felt a bit like a kid that didn't get the candy bar he was promised. Like the girl in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory who wanted an uumpuhluumpa now. Sun for the weekend and no bike...NOOOOOOO!

That sucks!

 

[DaCol.]

Well at least they didn't say, "Stator, what Stator, a busa doesn't have a Stator"

 

[SAMBUSA]

That sucks. Had that happen a couple of times.

Can you say " Loaner Bike Please".
The one time when I was ever down with my 03 Busa (Clutch Slave), the owner offered me his bike.
I declined, but was very grateful for the gesture.

Could've been worse..
Yes your stator came in it was the last one ..but it was given to somebody else...

Just charge the battery up and go for short rides

What's worse is when you order parts, then forget you ordered them and order them again. Then when you pick up the last order they say...hey you've got some other stuff back there. I did it with my brake lever for the track bike.

 

[Wag]

This is a pime example of how to tell a short story the long way!

Called the local stealership one day.

"Do you have a three-way gangly valve for an '03 Busa in stock?"

"Yup!"

"No, you don't unnerstand. Check your shelf and see if you actually have it there. I'll hold."

"Okay, sir. I'll check."

Click. <Insert goofy hold music here.>

Click.

"Sir?"

"Yes?"

"Yup. I have two of 'em rightchere."

"Great! If you'll hold one of 'em for me, I'll come pick it up in 20 minutes."

"You got it, sir!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Lance."

"Okay, Lance. See you in 20 minutes."

Fast forward 20 minutes.

"Hello, I'm here to see Lance."

"He's not here. He went to lunch."

"At 11:30?"

"Yeah, he leaves early."

"Well, maybe he left the part I needed. Can you look it up for me?"

"Sure, no problem!"

Twiddle thumbs for 5 minutes while dude clicks away at his computer.

"Hold on, sir. I'm still checking the computer."

"Okey-dokey."

"Um, sir, we don't have any in stock."

It was downhill from there.

Never been back.

--Wag--
