    Yay Fay Myers

    Pie and I went to Fay to look for a bike a few weeks ago. Sat on a few before seeing the new 2011 Shadow VT 750 RSb. Pie sat on it and really liked it right off the bat. I asked one of the floor guys there to get me a sales guy. Ed came over and told us everything we needed to know about the bike. He was laid back, knew his shit, and gave us no pressure.

    Pie needed a week to think it over but eventually went out and signed the paperwork on Friday 2 weeks ago. Ed was fantastic. Not only with the sales part, but the follow up when we discovered that a side cover bolt had fallen out and the owners manual was missing. He got them both replaced the day we called in.

    Kudos to Fay and their sales staff. Great experience.

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    The 750 is fun and torquey. Handles really well in the corners. Has a good sound but not as obnoxious as a Harley. PLUS, it's fuel injected

    Ed's one of the best, and a good friend of mine, I'd be stunned if anyone ever had anything but a great experience with him.

    Congrats to Linda and a thumbs up to Tony King who sold me my new bike last week @Fays. Now if only their service department could get it together like the sales team.

    Gotta remember too that Service gets the shit end of the stick most days.

    People are Thrilled to buy a new bike.
    People are Grumpy when they have to pay to repair/maintain it.

    When something goes wrong with the amazing new bike, or it's a costly maintenance item, it's service that has to try to explain what's up, and what it's going to cost--usually with an irate customer breathing down their necks.

    Plus, Service is separate from, but relies upon, Parts to get anything done, so that's more hands in the pot, and more chances for error on both ends.

    I'm not saying that excuses things, but sales typically has a much easier time at work than Service does, so it's harder for Service to please people than it is for Sales...and Service is typically far busier on both the customer and tech side of things--and the service writer has to juggle both of those.

    Fwiw, the guys at Fay in Service do, and have done, all that they can for me every time I'm in there, and I've no complaints.

    The bike we ppurchased was the one they rode accross the football field at the Bronco's home opener celebration. I't got a permanent tie to CO now

    I also think that Pie found out they nicknamed the bike the "Shadowster" as it looks a LOT like a Harley Sportster.

    Good lookin' bike.

    Did you guys get rid of the sportbike (CBR/GSX-R)? Or are you just building an eclectic stable?
