Took the bike in for valve check/adjustment and some misc. I'm bikeless for the next 6 or 7 days due to the weekend and a tranportation problem. I hate this and its only day 1.

I want my bike.

Same here. Mine been in since Tuesday and it's Saturday now. I keep gazing out the window making sure outside is still there

What you getting done? Anything interesting or just maintenance?

New set of tires and a looksie/replace of the wheel bearings. I didn't need to leave the bike all week, but I opted to since it was already there at the shop (too busy a week to make another trip).

I'm crossing my fingers I get a call today or tomorrow, but I won't hold my breath.

Forcast for my area is rain next 2 days and it better

lol

Well, here's more rain for your parade - the bike shop called, mine's ready!

Thte catch is, I gotta get there before 3pm. Considering I haev to go to the airport to buy a plane ticket before I go into work at 2pm, it's now 1250, I don't think I'm going to get there ...unless...

What the, almost a week for maintenance? They don't open on Saturdays? And I thought waiting 5 hours to a day was bad enough for my maintenance work (It takes longer if done on my own).

There open on Saturday but if you ask them for anything except a oil change or drop off your bike, you loose two days right there.

Dealer is not very local so I had no choice on dropoff day or pickup day. I do get to hear bikes in the distance running around. Those basturds , there reving it on purpose in my face and its only the begining of day 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just dropped mine off on Friday and it's going to be a week before they can even look at it. I'll be lucky to see her back before July, at this rate. There were literally hundreds of bikes in the service bay. Thought it was the showroom, but they all had license plates and service orders on them

Things are like that all over. In Edmonton you're looking at a 2-3 week wait at almost any shop before they'll even look at your bike. The shop I work at is booking about a week in advance, but trying to keep spots open for emergencies.
