I think you're understanding me wrong here.

It will always be your word agaist his. From where I'm sitting I'm honestly thinking this Bike shop is a dodgy place. But hey that is just me.

My point is, companies should not back down, things like this does hurt your business and the truth needs to come out in court.

Like I said, I can not speak for anyone else, that is just my personal view of this whole thread and I doubt anyone can change that ;)

Hayibo! :eek: Hou op nou meet daardie 'lock-jaw" greep :p

@ stratos1

I understand where Pitbull is coming from with his post.

Simply put, he reckons you should've gone to court to prove that you and your business were infact "in the right".

I can also understand why you would not want to go ahead with court proceedings.
As you and Wayne have come to an amicable agreement, it seems rather fitting that the two of you can walk away from this and not incur any stress clots to the head ;)

Guys don't get me wrong here,

I'm a Biker, and just as luck would have it My CBR1000 is due for some repairs from a stupid accident I had a few months back. I read articles like this and think to myself "I will never go to this guy" Sad I know. But that is the reality of a thread like this. For all I know this Bike shop it top notch. But Because of what I have read I will not go there. Even if the poster is talking 7 types of shyt. Things like these hurt companies badly and it's time they start fighting back for their company name.

That is the reason I hate Hellopeter website so much. It's out there to kill businesses on what people type there and millions of people read what the client aka moaner has to say. Even if it's so far from the truth it hurts just to look at it. It does cause damage no matter how you look at it ;)

I think we can all agree that a job (cleaning of valves needed to be done) Wayne clearly states he was going to bring the bike in during the holidays to get this done.

Unfortunatly this could not wait till the holidays to be done (clearly as the bike was not starting we all agree upon this.)

We did the job I even said to him he could pay this off as he clearly did not want/have the money now (as wanted to wait till holidays)

So we all know a job needed to be done.
I even gave him a FREE courtesy bike whilst the job was being done, and delivered the bike to his work (as he could not get away from work).

So to recap Free Courtesy Bike
Delivered Bike when job was done
Offered for him to delay payment
Discounted job by more than 50%

That is for sure more than any bike shop would have done!

Youre right in a way maybe I should have carried on going to court getting the full R1500 for the job done as I believe I have more than enough proof, eg receipts, phone calls, witness etc.

Yes I want to defend my name but I feel what me and Wayne have now agreed upon is fine and yes there will always be people that do not belive my side thats fine because thats life. But going to court only attorneys win.

I am glad this thread came about and I am sure Wayne will give you all an update on whether or not Zest Bikes sorts his bike out this Saturday.

Shake and Bake your comment is so true. Surely everyone just wants this situation resolved and to enjoy the holidays.

Hopefully on Saturday it will be.

I can agree with that and the fact that you handled it like 2 adults.

For future reference I would just like to show you the possibility of damage such a little thread can cause. Even if it's utter Bullshyt. If you don't believe that my CDR1000 need repairs I'll link you the photos on my other username.

Companies need to grow balls and take these moaners to the cleaners for bad publicity ;)

The problem is, by that time the damage is already done. As you yourself said, you'll not use this specific shop even if they were not at fault.

We often see this, someone will make a statement about someone else and once the seed is planted, it's near impossible to dispel the rumours.

So while going to court to clear your name might feel right, no-one is going to be interested in the outcome. The original, juicy story is much more fun.

Human nature....:rolleyes:
