Had enough of work this week by about Tuesday so I made an appointment and headed to Cowtown Friday morning to get the oil changed and some other work done. I got there and talked to Jimmy told him who I was and why I was there. He went and got Mike and we walked out to my bike. This is where the confusion starts. When I talked to Len I told him what I needed and he told me what it was going to cost. Well I did a poor job of understanding what I was getting and thought it sounded like a heck of a deal. It must have been a heck of a deal because when I told Mike he just looked at me and said I'll be right back. Next thing I see is Jimmy with a piece of paper coming to talk to me.
"Ricky is on the phone and wants to talk to you. When you get on the phone with him I'll give you this paper."
I thought to myself, who the heck is Ricky?
Get on the phone and it is Len, who I already knew was on vacation with his family. He tells me that he is sorry for the confusion and he will make it right since I rode 200 miles down and he just wanted to make sure I was happy. Really dude? I just rode my Spyder 200 miles through the backroads of Missouri, of course I'm happy. Anyway he shot me a good deal on what I wanted, not the jaw dropping deal I thought I was getting, but a deal that was fair for all involved.
So about lunch time Mike comes out and offers to pick me up some lunch or tells me they can order something if I am hungry. I was pretty good then so I said thanks but I was OK. Later I walked around the back and looked in the shop expecting that nobody would be back there working because it was lunch time. Mike is back there working away. He looks up and sees me and says, "If it would be OK with you sir, I'll finish this part up, grab some lunch, then I'll have about an hour and a half more work to do."
I looked around to see who he was calling sir then realized he was talking to me. He ended up not going to lunch, even though I told him that was fine, because he didn't want to keep me waiting any longer.:shocked:
They got my bike done and I was on my way back home then it hit me, now I know why everybody says Cowntown is the place to go.
Oh and the elka shocks and TB exhaust.... you just gotta love it. The exhaust has just enough attitude that when you drop into 3rd and romp on it to get around somebody on a two lane, "that son, was an attention getter!"
