Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Read an article once that suggested it was a good idea to swerve back and forth like that in your lane when approaching intersections and cars about to turn left and poo poo. To make yourself more visible. Something about the human eye being more attuned to left/right motion. True statement. Eyes have problems with depth perception with a single object, and S turning in your lane as you approach an intersection fixes that. I've had drivers start creeping forward, I S turn, they stop and I wave. It's worse at night due to optical illusions. A bright light (or one that is in your eyes) will appear closer, and a dim light will appear farther, regardless of a rider's actual position.

slidebite posted:That really sucks and is exactly why I try to do everything myself, but do you really think the bike would be totaled from the dent in the frame? Can you share the photo if you don't mind? Any frame damage is usually an instant total because you need to take the entire bike apart to replace it.

Ok, this rant is directed at Rainbow Powersports in Enid, Oklahoma. You are the only OEM dealer within an hour, so I am forced to occasionally use your lovely dealership. 1. You have salespeople who guard the doorway and aggressively annoy every customer who comes in. When I am going to the Parts department, you follow me all the way there trying to talk me into a new sports bike. You tell me how easy it pops wheelies, and how sick the new model is (despite it being the same as the '13 and '14, WRT to the 636 ZX-6R) When I was forced to go yesterday, I followed a customer in who said "I'm just here to look." Your response of "Oh well I'm just here to sell" makes you look like greedy fucks. 2. Your parts department: I'm sorry I annoyed you by asking for a part. You had 1 of the 2 things I needed in stock. The worst part is how EVERYTHING is for sale at MSRP, or above. Copper crush washers were almost $6 each. You had zero interest in actually giving any tips/tricks for the parts I was buying... you acted like you wanted to get the transaction over with as fast as possible so you could go back to your phone. 3. Your service department sucks. Your tires are overpriced, and while I know you can't compete online, charging $50 per wheel OFF THE BIKE to mount and balance is ridiculous. $75 if it's on the bike! Your inability to come across competently on general questions or build a rapport means I'm never taking my motorcycle there even when it needs maintenance. I ordered my other parts online (even if it wasn't any savings) because your dealership sucks so much. I've lived here for two years and I dread going in there every time. In conclusion, get hosed and I hope you go out of business. xaarman fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Feb 17, 2015 |
