you cant get much fairer than that, well done rory for trying to sort this problem out 10/10,mistakes are going to happen were ever you go , if who ever is buying and you not happy at the time of sale just question who is serving you ,it can solve a lot of headaches for both parties before it gets out of hand

The original post/whinge has been moderated and I assume it did mention the bike shop by name and that bike shop/site sponsor has been notified by admin or moderator, which is a good thing because now they can try and fix the situation.

LC, you assumed wrong, the original post was edited by the OP. It wasn’t moderated by any of the admin. He was free to have a rant and he did, that is what forums are about, although, it may have been better if he had a rant at the shop in person before airing it on a public forum. He has edited his post as you didn’t have to read much into it to work out who he had a gripe with.

No admins contacted the sponsors, just a customer that gets 110% satisfaction.

The ball is clearly in Osmoo’s court now. But I would be disappointed if he took the FULL refund, after all he has PURCHASED a good and used a SERVICE from the assumed shop.

Lesson learned though, it would have been nice to take the matter up with the shop manager directly if he felt strong enough to negative on the internet about the whole incident.

Let me outline some experience I’ve had with local motorcycle shops. Notwithstanding the original post which, it appears, has been dealt with

I’m a tightarse, no doubt, and on occasion I have purchased bits or parts from OS, but mostly for convenience.

A loooong while ago I visited a local shop to order some oil filters, now as the reader may or may not know, VOR oil filters are not easy to come by, but the local shop ordered a few in for me (obviously knowing that I’d be in reasonably regularly for them). While I was there I heard the young bloke behind the counter explaining carb jetting to some boofhead. What he was saying was spot on and was excellent advice. I was impressed.
Some time later I took my bike there for a repair. They couldn’t do the repair but spent some time on it. They still billed me and I had a bit of mini-sick come up when I paid but I know that they had a good hard go so no real dramas. This shop also fitted my first tyre I ever bought and allowed me to watch(at their first shop), so I guess we have a bit of history.

They are the first shop I visit for oils or parts to this day (and it still is fun trying to explain to the parts ‘person’ what bike the part is from!). They’ve moved a few times, but it’s still the first place I visit.

Before that I used to visit regularly the place that is now a roller skating rink in Penrith. Why? Because their customer service was very good. I liked their tyres (Trelleborg), but I don’t think I’ve visited them since they down-sized.

It is a pity the OP hasn’t poked his head up and made contact with the shop in question. I guess that’s the nature of the game these days.

Just for the information of the keyboard warriors out there..

I have been at work since the original post, and after the second post was made (the morning of picking up said tyre) I picked up the tyre that afternoon, yes I was charged $20 for fitting and yes the workshop staff were helpful.

I was told at the POS that the cost would be $45 for tube, and $25 for fitting, I did not confirm that was what I paid however, I have since confirmed that yes $34.95 was debited from my account..

I do not want a refund, I do not want a discount or anything else, it was a miscommunication between myself and the dealer and I am happy to leave it at that (I have since pmed the dealer he has my contact no and can contact me if he wishes).. The entire point of an internet forum is for members of the general public to voice there concerns or issues for discussion, it appears that a number of members feel that the price charged was reasonable and there was no issue with the service costs, I’ll cop that..

A number of you felt it was a personal attack.. it was not.. in future I’ll ensure that all my post in no way reflect negatively on any sponsors, sponsor affiliates..

Thanks (unless some of your offended by recieving thanks…)

For the record no one mentioned it was a site sponsor until the sponsor themselves got involved. As for the key board warrior comment well people just responded as happens on a forum when some puts something like this out there

I’ll bite.
$55 is a bit different to $70, which I believe was the basis of the original rant. So what’s that? 25 bucks? Half a carton.
I reckon $55 supplied and fitted is okay, especially for some of those ADV bikes, I understand those things are a bastard to change, but I’ll never know! :laugh:
Even as a keyboard warrior I have enough integrity to admit when I’ve made a mistake.
I’d change tubes for a carton as I imagine many others here would as well, but it’d be a lesson as well, so that I wouldn’t have to do it again.
In the Old Bulls spirit everyone is here to help.
