Took my K in today for the rear wheel flange recall,determined not to let them get their grubby mitts on my hard earned spons.
Oh yes,they were all sweetness and light,"We''ll do the fuel pump recall as well,Sir,will Sir take a seat upstairs and have free coffee while he waits".
Yes,Sir will,Sir,thank you very much,step this way Sir".
Sir imbibed their coffee and read their magazines,until he was approached by the smiling service manager,"your machine is almost ready Sir,would Sir like to..."etc,etc.
"Here's your free visual check sheet...all good Sir it's a beautiful example Sir does look after it but was Sir aware that Sirs rear brake pads are just about on the metal?
PERFIDY!...Sir was fully aware that his rear brake was a little spongy,and that when he had spun the wheel there was the faintest hiss of pad-change-required,and Sir had intended to do that this very weekend...
Suddenly the BMW shirt-wearer was no longer a bright-eyed servant to the discerning motorcyclist...his mask had slipped,and he was revealed to be a shifty eyed,swarthy ASSASSIN!
He had striped me up royally...and in the end I slunk away £88 to the bad...tricked AGAIN by their friendly smiles and shining premises....
One day....one day....when the revolution comes....
