    I feel the need to apologize to many here on ADV Rider/NW
    Last week I let my anger get under my skin. I blew it plain and simple..I am ashamed I took it to the level I did and feel I owe at least a few people a public apology..
    Please dont read anything into this other than what it is..
    Paul . I am working on the items you asked me to provide to future customers.
    For the inmates who where put off by my tantrum..
    It was wrong for me to act like an ASS.

    It takes a big person to come on here and appoligize. Good for you and I wish you well.

    You dont have anything to apoligize for imo.

    I have a hard time believing he actually took it to the dealer. Sounds like he has some mental issues and was looking for money after he realized he maxed out his credit card again or something...

    If I buy a racelight it will be from you. If I had seen your post before I got my polisport...

    Really?

    Regardless of whether one likes what anyone did here, it is not hard to believe he took it to a dealer.

    1. Can't figure out the hookup.

    2. Take it to someone to hook it up for me.

    All that for $75.00 yes. I think I have a $100.00 limit on my cc or something.

    $75 is quite reasonable for figuring out a light hookup.

    What's the shop rate? $75 an hour? That's pretty reasonable, probably too cheap.

    So for taking the time to talk to someone, politely listen while the customer explains about how unhappy they are that they couldn't figure out how to to it, etc. So, task switching, talking to the customer, doing the work;;; Should have been $100 :evil

    So don't anyone take this personal. We are just having fun here.

    When a thread reaches a certain threshold, doggie pictures ensue. It is just a natural law of the internet and we are bound to obey it.

    Sometimes it takes a few pages to get there, sometimes the threshold is reached on the first page.

    Great to man up and admit a mistake. But this could easily end up in EH again.

    The doggy pictures should help delay that though. Everyone likes doggy pics! If they don't it is because they hate America.
