| Defamation, libel, call it what you will, law applies just as much on here as it does in the News of the world, TV, etc.
Public slanging matches while having an entertainment value for spectators rarely produce a result where both parties "win".
I have every sympathy with any individual who has suffered shite service, shoddy goods, I also have sympathy for any organisation that has suffered at the hands of some chancer who is attempting to pass the buck for their unreasonable use of a product or service demands.
This ain't no judgement on the issue here, merely an attempt to illustrate the point that every case has two sides and until you can fully understand both sides positions you are unlikely to even be able to begin to sort out the right and wrongs.
getwayrider,
I take it you have spoken to your local trading standards and citizens advice bureau as well as the dealer? If the two former organisations can offer no hope then it's down to the dealer and or DUK. If all else fails a second hand motor with a known (to you) history might be the besto solution or try a local specialist. If you are very confident mechanically and/or have the right tools fixing the bike might be an ask too far and cause more heartache/cash in the long run.
Regards
Ray.  |
