After almost $5,000.00 spent with this dealership, I would like to inform all the persons who read this thread, the following:

-after D&S promised me:
-they will have a crate ready for my bike (or they will make one) at the price of $200.00.
-they can keep the bike there crated, so the freight company, I hired, can come pick it up from a business location (with a certain equipment needed to get the crate into a truck).
-they will repair my bike after a crash for $560.00 (they had the list of parts and wrote on that list what the labor will cost 560)

they did the following:
- they charged me $950.00 because a certain part took longer than expected. They said it took 6hours to replace that part, but I actually checked on them and they started working on that part at about 1 pm on 2/17 and they replaced it at 3 pm on 2/17. That means 2 hours of labor.
- they said they will sell my bike if I won't pay for the service.
- they said they have no crate, and they cannot make one WHATSOEVER. (but I already arranged for the shipping, I am all messed up right now, leaving the country in less than 24 hours and no crate and place to ship from)

I paid for the service and took the bike away from them.

Please be advised that, although I have no proof to know whether this is true or NOT, I have heard of a person who recovered his stolen bike, in this dealership's back yard.

Do you remember the Guy that ran through arlington in Feb on the R1 all over the news? His bike was supposedly there at the dealership and was recovered by the police somehow. they are shady. they are off of cooper right?

This is why I work on my own bike so I don't have to deal with stupid situations like this.

I take it you are military and going over seas to your first assignment?
