I'm affraid it sounds like you've been stitched up 300 miles thats one hell of a test ride. it may be best to speak to that Granger bloke yourself if he's got any sense he wont want bad press on the net.
Good luck.

I have tracked down my ECU. Andy is keeping it in his desk until i can go pick it up where i might go off the handle about the milage. Apprently he was told by torbay GT's that it was 200 miles aswell. Surely this constitues a breach of some sales act due to the fact that everyone thought it was 200 miles and then.............. whoops no it aint. Maybe if i raise enough fuss theyll refund me my restrictor.

Ok, a couple of points:

1) The guy who owns 'the Plymouth one', Mike Granger, also owns the others;

2) I know both daughters, and both are friendly, polite and caring people;

3) You also probably know me, my friend, from the very same school which you refer to. Except I'd possibly have taught you;

4) I don't believe there is any point or relevance in using someone's son or daughter to slag off their business;

5) While I accept that some people's experience with GT has not been positive, I also wonder what those people have actually done about addressing this with the company or Mike himself before making relatively anonymous and unsubstantiated accusations;

6) You can bank on people criticising far more easily and vocally than praising;

7) GT has not become the largest motorcycle franchise in the South West by coincidence;

I've had great service from them. I believe in making an overall judgement about quality of provision, not based on one incident but taking the whole process into account. I'll not say they are cheap, but they certainly know what they are doing and the staff there have always been very helpful to me.

There - you've heard a good word about the place now, and the admin had better move this to the silly section!
