Default Routine work......Gone bad

When I took my 03 ninja in to the local stealership(dads idea) for new tires. I'm told it will take 2 hours at the longest. Well low and behold four hours later they call and tell me that they've finished installing the tires but there was a slight mishap taking the bike off the lifts and that i should probably come down and take a look. So me and my dad head back down there and they had dropped the bike on the right hand side and luckly for them the only damaged was the right side rear set or so the thought. When I looked over the bike I noticed that there was a dent in the swing arm about the size of a dime and a one inch long crack as well[:@]. So here I am writing this to relieve some stress and no bike for a mounth and a half.

Well, I hope you will be $$$$$ compensated for THEIR mistake! After all, it was their responsibility to take care of your bike while in their posession. You didn't take it to them like that so they should pay and throw in something for free!

Sorry bro sounds like there swimming the parts in from Japan. I HATE the stealerships, I am going to be using that thanks, I always remove my own wheels and take them in. It saves a couple of bucks but you still have to watch out. Once I picked up a rear and a swear there was like 8 weights on one side and a dozen on the other. I kicked that one back to them.
