Re: [ST] Fuel leak fixed!



I've visited three closest dealers in Vincentown, Freehold, and Cherry Hill.
The Cherry Hill shop seems like a one man operation.  They also sell
Indians.  The place looks nice, some accessories, but very few bikes!  I had
the impression that business wasn't too good.  This is the place right next
to the largish Cycle World on route 70 and that might explain.  Freehold is
about an hour away and they're always nice to deal with.  When I had to get
my clutch cable replaced through the recall they were A1.  They asked for my
VIN number and had the new cable in less than a week.  As for Vincentown, I
got a cool reception.  This is the second closest dealer to me and when I
contacted them about my clutch cable recall the service guy was like "yeah,
I guess I better order some of them".  I felt that they didn't need or want
my business.  Anyway, I went to Vincentown for my fuel leak.  They had the
earliest service appointment and are about a half hour away.  I wasn't too
happy about this but in the end they were very responsive and professional.
It seemed like once I became a customer, they dealt with me in a much better
manner than someone just making inquiries.

P.S.  I bought my bike out of state.
