Thanks for clearing that up for me. Andy, you are a very, very nice guy. A 
gentleman like you did not deserve treatment like that. This correlates to 
_some_ HD riders snootiness -- the dealers are snooty too. Maybe it is that 
they have all they can handle working on HD's? I agree with you when you 
state 'it's just bad business.'

I feel more like Duncan about this. Hell, I think I am more disgusted than 
you are about it and it didn't even involve me!

I have a Yami/Kawi dealer very close to my house. They do all types of work 
for me on various bikes including on the ST things like chain, sprockets, 
tires, install heated grips. I did buy a bike from them new in '99. Not 
sure if that has anything to do with whether they'll work on off brand 
stuff or not. I believe they will work on ANYTHING. Now for major 12K, 24K 
service on the ST I have taken it to my pal Sonny Collier's Triumph-Duck 
dealership in Nashville. But now he dropped Triumph and just last week sold 
out the remainder of his business, the Ducati Dealership, shop, store. So I 
am not sure who is going to do my next major svc. Sonny had a good Triumph 
mechanic named Hey Hey Hey Pat Albert but he's gone now too - just doing 
vintage stuff I believe in addition to being in a punk band.
