attackpainter Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 So i got a call from a buddy of mine who runs a towing company saying he spent the last two days moving everything out of Hinds. I went in yesterday saw 8 or so new Kawasakis ..... still wanting full retail and a some leftover accesories. Looks like theyre finally done I did manage to pick up a set of Kushitani gloves for a really really really low price. And Jeff and Max gave me 2 kawasaki displays. But as i was leaving i heard Jeff on the phone yelling at someone saying "How the fuck am i supposed to stay in business" Then yelling to himself. "They want me to just stay in business over a signed piece of paper?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreator Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm the kind of guy who will pay a few hundred more to get the better service.They never worked on any of my bikes, no way.. I bought one of my Busa's there and the tire pressure on my rear was like 20 pounds too much, glad I checked it before riding my fat ass on it. I don't think there is a dealer in Columbus that is worth a few hundred dollars. Used bike maybe, but new, no way a bike is a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for being worth the extra money or not, I guess that's just a personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a surprise.really? ha i had no idea. they didnt seem like the best shop to buy from. i bought a dirtbike off them in 05. but that was about the only time i went in. i have heard bad things about them and how i should NEVER take my bikes there for service.

chrisknight Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have done business with Hinds for 10 or so years. Each time a bit more & more pissed. Last time, I swore I'd never do business with them again. I'm kinda bummed that now I don't have the chance to stick it to em by taking my business elsewhere. Oh well...

bruisedk7 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 yea i wouldnt do business with them again after they tried to screw me out of $675 when i had to cancel my warranty/service contracts but eventually i ended up getting an 04 polini x3(50cc race dirtbike) from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I loved leaving the store after Jeff acted out, and finding my first RSVR in the Dispatch inexpensively. And buying it with the money that I had with me to purchase either a 955, 900SS, or Falco from Hinds. The loss was NOT mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
