*Note – This is a short rant.
My V7ll Racer with 4k miles on the clock has been in the shop for 4 weeks now, just for a rear drive leak. I've basically missed some of the best riding weather the North East has to offer and I'm not happy at all.
The closest Guzzi dealer is Eurosports in PA and they are over 1h20 away with no traffic. I dropped the bike off 4 Fridays ago and they are still waiting on parts to come in. Took over 2 weeks to get approval from Piaggio for warranty work to commence. Not sure if the delay is the dealer or head office.
I'm hoping this is a once off because none of my other previous bikes, nearly all Triumphs with 10s of thousands of miles between them ever spent more than a day or two in shops for service…they never needed repairs and they were all daily, all weather commuters. I don’t commute much on bike anymore, hence I purchased the Guzzi.
Love my Guzzi. For me it’s the perfect city bike and so much fun to ride but I am not willing to put up with useless dealers, a bike that might potentially give me more issues and a useless Piaggio head office.
Fingers crossed I don’t make it to 5 weeks of no bike, which looks very likely. And fingers double crossed I get her back and she is trouble free for 1000s of miles to come and my hand isn’t forced to do something I really don’t want to.
