Didn't even get washed!!!!!
Discussion
Took the bike in to a main dealer for a service and mot and it didn't even get a wash. I only went to them because they are a Kawasaki dealer, they could do the mot, and they did the last service.
I think I shall be taking it to my local independant from now on. He is very friendly, likes a chat and washed the bike when I took it in for a new chain and sprocket.
Is a quick wash too much to ask? (especially when you've spent around £200)

Rant over!

Thats not really that uncommon. Main dealers are about fast turn around ! If you want good old proper close attention to detail, that chat with the guy that did the work over a coffee then you need to develop a relationship with a local indie or specialist tuning shop.I think I shall be taking it to my local independant from now on.

£200 and you wanted a wash? Pah! My last service was 1200!
C2,I'm guessing that was on the CSL??!! How's that going mate, still surprising ya? No pics on your profile...
The CSL is fantastic - love it to bits. Here's a pic of it in action for you (as if I needed an excuse to post a pic
):

Feck....£1200 note on the Duc...Jees.
CSL is the right colour mater....very nice. What's with the tow bar thingy at the front?
You have to have your towing eye in on car trackdays - makes it quicker for them to drag you back on the track if you leave it. CSL is the right colour mater....very nice. What's with the tow bar thingy at the front?

You're spoilt... try a Triumph dealer.
Last time I dropped the bike in to have 3 bits of work done and I was told it was ready for collection. £380.
Bike was scuffed on the fairings (well, you brought it in a van was the excuse - no i didn't)
2 of the requested bits of work hadn't been done
28psi in the front tyre and 25 in the rear (bike had been sitting for 6 months)
No lube on chain etc etc
I HATE Triumph dealers - they're all as bad each other. In fact that lot above are the best I've found.
In a conundrum as I fancy a Speed Triple but am damned if I am going to let any of the stealers I have dealt with get the sale from me.

Once, I'd cleaned and polished my old Clio and it absolutely gleamed. I took it in for a service a couple of days later and they did a complimentary "service wash". I use that term loosely as it actually involved a poorly trained monkey and a bucket of muddy water! The gleaming car came out streaked!!
Never had a bike cleaned during a service, though.
