I have been getting real anxious to leave the cold and head down to Daytona for a couple weeks now. This winter has been terribly cold so far and I have just had enough!
Last week before an expected big storm I wanted to move the Boss out of the garage and back it in place ... make it easier to load into the trailer when the time finaly comes. Once I backed the bike out of the garage (did not use reverse because drive slopes down) I got her lined up and put the trans into reverse to back up the drive into the garage ... NOTHING!
I ended up pulling back in the garage nose first :x
I had already decided that I would never have my bike touched by the dealer I purchased it from ... NEVER. I had just spoken with Debbie and Bruce from Stamford Boss Hoss a week prior at a motorcycle show they were at. I was impressed with the bikes they had built and was impressed by their knowledge of the Boss when I talked to them. They were close to the top of "who" I could call for some help.
I called and spoke to Debbie, Bruce and Kevin a bunch of times. Kevin was in touch with Nesco the same time. I tried everything they suggested and checked everything they suggested. I still had ... NOTHING
After trying everything possible here at the house (they were trying to save me the 4.5 - 5 hour trip south) with no promising results they (Stamford) moved their entire schedule around to squeeze me in! These are great people and an awesome dealership
I made the trip down yesterday and waited while Kevin did all the same steps he had given to me on the phone. He made the call to Nesco and spoke to Jim Calloway. He explained that the bike needs fixed before Daytona ... Jim said "no problem" get the transmission to him and he will turn it out in a day!
Now Kevin, Bruce and Debbie have a ton of service work stacked up, new bikes to go out, new bikes being built including some very "special" bikes for Daytona YET ... get this ... Kevin was going to stay as long as needed yesterday to pulll the transmission and get it crated for shipping TODAY!
So three days down, one day to rebuild and three days back ... The bike will be ready for Daytona in plenty of time!
These guys are AWESOME. They even allowed me to leave my trailer in their yard so I would not have to drag it back to Maine empty then back to CT ... empty
