I work in Groveport does that count???

Just wanted to say it's not only in Ohio, it's all over the place. Just returned from trip to Buffalo to see Niagara Falls and saw several incidents that just made me shake my head in the 800 miles we rode. Saw a Jeep Liberty actually go offroading at about 70mph to avoid hitting our lead bike as she was....doing her make up....Honda Civic that saw the 8 "Left lane closed ahead" signs prior to running up on us and sharing the lane with me....the PA Highway patrol man who rode my ass for 3 miles as we were going around a wreck at 50.....it's all over and I've just come to the conclusion that eery time i hop on bike I have to make sure that I'm well aware of every thing.

Congrats on the new bike!!!

Still having them made at Fast Signs?? Can I just swing by there and pick one up since it's about 3 minute ride up there for me lol

Currently it's in a state Park in New York, I'm trying to get it moved to Buffalo by next week, as I've got a road trip planned to go up to Niagara for a few days on the bike, then bring it back to Columbus. Will keep everyone updated.

Not sure if anyone else visits Cbr Forum or not, but they've got a pretty cool little relay thing going on here: http://cbrforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91474

Was a little too flooded for me to make it last night.....

Not sure if the OP is still looking at an option for this, but I work for Forward Air Inc. and we do quite a bit of shipping of motorcycles. We have our own containers specifically for them and I might be able to swing a deal...lol...let me know.

Having not been in the business before, I understand completely that there could be a situation where everyone and their brother needs the part guy at that very second, I will give some headway for that scenario, but I still have not gotten any sort of warm fuzzy from anyone at HNW recently.

I've actually had the same experience as the original poster. When I was first shopping for my new bike, I had visited, ASK, Motorsports of Columbus, and Honda Northwest. ASK and Columbus Motorsports we're all very friendly, approached me to ask if I had questions, all of the things that I would expect at a sales store of any kind. Northwest on the other hand, I actually had to track someone down to help me. While I understand shops get busy and people are tasked ten different things to do at once, I noticed 3 employees lounging around the back of the shop, literally sitting on ATV's. I left severely displeased. Fast forward 3 years and I've now come to learn that the place I did in fact buy my bike from, Motorsports of Columbus has gone out of business and I find out that Honda Northwest has now assumed the service plans that I had through MoC. I called on Monday to ask a question (I had specific Honda part numbers) and was promptly placed on hold, for 10 minutes after which the call disconnected. I called back, was placed on hold again, and when they finally came back on the phone, I was told 4 weeks to get the part, and that they were booked up until May 12th. I didn't get the warm fuzzy from the gentleman I spoke with, nor did I even consider doing business with them. Pick up phone call Honda Marysville, they have part in stock, had a full schedule booked, but since it was a quick fix, they told me to bring it out and they'd have me squared away same day. I know these are personal experiences and everyone is entitled to bad days, but as the OP said, I will gladly drive past HNW to Marysville every time.
