 and a half!!! That's just not right. You could have been hurt with your Spyder handling so poorly. I don't suppose anyone will be held accountable. Accountable and consequences are foreign words these days.
Glad it was found before you had another "incident".

I hope that get it fixed quickly for you. You are going to Spyderfest aren't you?

The bike doesn't want to track straight at all and this is a definite safety issue.
BRP is getting called on Monday and some paperwork is going to the who left me with an unsafe bike. 
These types of things just infuriate me. There is no way in Hades that I would not go to that past dealer with pics and a few choice words for them.

A nice report to the BBB for crappy workmanship goes a long way. These reports are available to the public when someone looks the dealer up.

Bob, I'm sorry they didn't do a good job. Very dangerous! Glad you found the reason, though. It sounds repairable. I hope it didn't damage the remaining bushings. Hang in there, buddy!

Wow, so sorry to hear about the mess up! I think you need to make sure something is provided to BRP in writing, and I'd copy the shop owner on it. Hopefully the new dealer will have you safely back on the road in short order.

Sorry to hear about that, I would definetly talk to that other dealership and let them know. It seems everybody is in a rush today; and has not set ip a good enough check and balance system.  Glad you did not get injured.

I've been avoiding that course of actiuon for a while because I had hoped that the other minor issues would be taken care of... Let me see how they respond to what's not going to be a nice letter first...

I'm trying to figure out how to upload a video of this mess... it'll blow your mind!

So since I sure ain't riding it like that; at least it got a good cleaning today!

You gotta be........me.
Whoooooee , I'd have done let the Whoop out. Returning your spyder in that condition is totally unacceptable. Ticked off wouldn't even be close if that was me. Go for the jugular !

Personally, I'd forget the battle. There is nothing to gain. Let the other dealer repair your Spyder properly (and hopefully more quickly) and never darken the doors of the first one again. JMHO

I really have given a TON of thought to taking that course of action...
I decided against not notifying them only because this is a safety issue (At least it is to me...) They need to know so that procedures in their shop can be monitored so as not to let something like this happen again...
Normally I'm about the most non-confrontational guy you'd ever meet...
