Still waiting for my new chain, new light and new indicators to turn up, but for now I have nicked by dad’s handlebars, I have new bulbs in the smashed lights and I have taped up my indicators, gonna have to see if I can sort out the lack of lighting around my clocks tomorrow. Hopefully there won’t be too many police around Wednesday night tho, on the way to BMM, or I could possibly get pulled.
I’m not gonna put it in the praise or shame site as I don’t think it’s fair, as it was down to one individual and not a company, but went to Bill Bunns, South Ealing today for the first time, to get a new oil filter and some bulbs, and was throughly p!ssed off at the guy who served me. I may not know that much about bikes, but I’m new to it and I do try. Did my first ever oil change on my bike today and I can do practically all the simple jobs, as everyone knows it takes time to learn these things!
But went in today, had the correct details of all the bulbs I needed, told the guy, then as I was paying saw that he had only given me one headlamp bulb, not two and then realised I had forgotten to tell him I didn’t have the standard Bandit headlamp but a dominator twin headlamp, so I would need two of the same bulbs, not just one. He then proceeded to go into a rant about why didn’t I just bring some pictures down of my bike on my phone next time. When I asked him why, he said ‘‘well that’s what all the other women who don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to bikes do!’’ So one very p!ssed off me left the shop, just to realise when I got home, that they’d given me the wrong indicator bulb, even tho I’d given him the correct measurements!
Sorry for the rant, but had to do it, just didn’t feel it was fair on Bill Bunns to do it in the shame thread, but still very p!ssed off at the patronising way that the guy spoke to me, especially considering that his assistant, the guy actually serving me, didn’t even seem to be able to tell the difference between any of the bulbs in front of him!
But anyways, hopefully my bike will be ridable by tomorrow! 
Just waiting for all my stuff to arrive, got some new black dominator twins coming too, but for now will have to ride with the smashed ones!
We have loads of women customers who come in and yes some of them don’t know what they are talking about - but we have loads of blokes who are exactly the same!
And that’s before I lived with my Dad, so I really did have to sort my bike out myself!
but can only do the simple things really, don’t really think i’m in the market for changing her frame or anything yet.
