Default STRANGE MAN

I went sat. and had a pp put on the front of the bike, i get there and the guy acts pissed because i already had a tire sayinghow i am taking money from him by not buying the tire there, so i tell the guy hey i am paying you 50.00 for ten minutes work by putting the tire on. Another guy comes in looking for a piece for an older honda needed the chrome piece for the headlight and the shop owner is like i can't sell just the chrome ring you have to buy the hole light for 50.00, the customer says forget it. Then he starts going on about how people on forums are full of bs and don't know what they are talking about, I told him i came here to this forum and how I enjoyed it and saved me some money on parts and doing stuff myself. You would have thought i called his mom a *****, needlesss to say i won't be back its kellys cycle in knoxville,tn beware of owner!!!

Man, you think that he'd be happy to have any work if the guy acts like that to all his customers. Tell me he didn't mess up your rim for job security.

LOL...didn't register to me that PP = Pilot Power until line 2...hahahah i thought it was some type of truck nutz! hahhaha...

yea many shop vendors are losing bling to internet sales...but that's just the way it is...but they make up for it by increasing mounting costs.

Yeah i am in sales myself and i couldn't imagine cursing my customers and expecting them to call me back, that cat was weird had a german shepard running around the shop and glock on his hip, and the shop is in a nice part of town.

I blew a flat out in South Phoenix a few months back and had to ride to the closest motorcycle place I could find to get a replacement. Bob's used motorcycle parts! They mount tires for $10. So now I just order tires from ronayers and truck em down to Bobs!
