Well you can have Bad experiences TOO!!!!
He is Not all that good in my opinion!!!!!!!!!
Just my 10 cents worth or it could have been 5000 dollars worth!!!!! or more Who Knows !!!!!
My Experience with Col
I actually rode the Bike to 10/10ths
HE Misdiagnosed problem (Cam Chain)
Claimed it had jumped 2 teeth.... Fact: It had NOT
Claimed it had valve damage ..... Fact: It had NOT
Claimed it had no oil ....... Fact: Wrong Again!!??
His solution PULL ENGINE OUT?? ( He says he doesnt have XRAY Vision)
No time limit given (He says he is very Busy and it would have been weeks and weeks)
Would not even give me a Quote ( not even a rough ballpark figure)............. WHAT THE????!!!
Just wanted to pull the bike apart!!!! and he would see then what he would charge me????
Numerous discussions and phonecalls were made as this did not seem like sensible business practices
Decision Transport Bike to My Mechanics
Then Col charged me $220 for pulling side fairings and a few bits off the bike!!!!
I had to pay for a transport guy to take the bike to My Mechanic after I was told some truths about the claimed faults
All Claims about the bike were proven wrong!!!!
I only wanted to go to Col because he was getting "Wraps" like the above Posts and he was supposed to be the GURU of Busas.
I would not trust the guy as far as I could throw him!!!!!!
( Cost of repairing bike with full service and extensive testing of everything and replacing camchain and adding some more bling and welding clutch properly at Motorcycle Weaponry at mona vale was the grand total of 900 dollars in which they spent alot of time and effort getting the bike perfect........ I was expecting 1000sssss THANKYOU... Steve, Arthur and Eric)
By the way, as you have all seen the bike is running, Better than it ever has!!!!
I know alot of you love Col and it is your choice to go to him!!
It is also my Right to post, about something, that I feel strongly.... I am sure, I was not his first and wont be his last!!!! (Be Advised)
You can choose to stay with him!!!!
You guys have got to expect... I will post here!!!!! NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!
Blue Thunder!!!!
