All,
I was in an accident over a month ago with my VTX. (corner of Barett PKWY and Canton HYWY) I was rearended by an automobile when I was yielding for an ambulance. The other driver was ticketed, and that is were the drama has started. There was insurance on the automobile but the driver was not. It took 2 weeks to get the policy # then the insurance company didnt want to pay, they finally agreed after 2 more weeks.
During this time I brought my bike to Canton Motorsports for repairs, and this has been an absolute disaster. They promissed me a quote within a week and took 2 weeks after I pushed really hard and I had to aggree to charge a deposit on my amex card to order the parts.
after another week the bike was completed and I went to pick it up. I noticed right away that something was wrong....... the back fender was tilted up @ 20% and you could see the whole tire and some space between the fender. I pointed this out to the service writer and he said it was ok. I said no again and the tech that worked on the bike came out and said it was ok. I continued to insist it was not and the tech brought out the old fender a said see. again I said it wasnt right. I went into the dealer and looked @ a new vtx and there is no space and I pointed this out to the service writer and the tech then came out and Said he was thinking It might be wrong. At this point I am livid. And now the service writer and tech agree somethinbg is wrong. I then demanded to speak to the Service manager and they "didnt have one" So I demanded to speak to the store manager, after waiting 20 minuted I walked over to an employee and he introduced himself. and we went to look @ the bike. He agreed it was wrong and I asked how is this poosible that the tech could not tell the "frame was damaged" and they had no responce .
they said they would look at it today and got a call later that said the tech is off today so it will be saturday.
What can I do now? I have gone over 4 weeks with out a bike for an acident that I didnt not cause and now I have to go back to the insurance company and explain the honda dealer has made a very bad mistake.
to top it off it is Progressive Insurance
Is there anybody who is an avid motorcyle rider and also a lawyer?
I will pay for a consultation
Please Help
thanks Eric
