Yea garysol1 I did have to go there, fuck that good cop bad cop shit, they are pigs and shit like that just reinforces it!! I never have called them in 43 years and I never will!! I hate pigs, and nothing you or anyone else says will ever change that!
I actually hate not being able to lay it down, still adjusting from one bike to another, I already got scrapes on the pegs, the frame mounts, even the bottom of the exhaust. It's pretty scarry trying to lay the bike down and hitting something solid that doesnt move like the pegs do.
I hear ya about the chrome strips, when I first saw the bike I thought the same thing, but the way the tank is painted, I'd have to repaint it, and the smoked flames look really cool in person.
