Default What's the longest you've waited for parts on "back order"?

Hey fellas.
Some of you may remember the episode last December when I dropped my bike on a chair in the shed. Anyway, the insurance company were fast and approved the repairs, the local mechanic ordered all the parts, the Honda dealer my mechanic gets stuff from back ordered theupper fairing from Japan, and it still hasn't got here!
The firstdelivery date came and nothing appeared. The part was lost, apparently...The second date came and went, still nothing...Now I've been given a third date, 9/5/07.FIVE MONTHS LATER!!!
What really ****s me is that I've emailed Hondaat the only"contact us" address I can find, and they don't respond. I think this is **** poor.
What do you guys think, and have you got any ideas.
Dave.

p.s. Beer is good!

davethepom,

I live in US, but I am a genuine Japanese. If you want me to help you some how, like contacting HONDA to ask them the back order parts status, I will be glad to do so. Good thing, I am working for a telecommunication company and my shift is Asia Pacific time (based on Japanese standard time) and I am calling vendors and customers in Japanes always. Who knows even I am calling to HONDA in my language in the office? Give me some more detail. How your mechanic placed the order to HONDA, etc.

Yas

Dave,

I can't locate your mail. Would you send an email to ynemoto01@earthlink.net again?

Yas, My first email got delayed (that's a new one on me), so I've tried again using your new address.
Thanks, Dave.
