The image of the seat isnt on the camera for some reason but I'll get another one tomorrow and post it. there's a hole in the indicator where it has been melted and the exhaust was fully painted, not such a big deal with the exhaust as it is damaged, but still it has come back with further damage.

RH thinks the damages are most likely caused by the bike being in fixed position during the dyno.
Bloody hell- and have they even verbally apologised?

I'd be foaming at the mouth...

i dont think i would have taken the bike with that much damage on it. this whole situation has gone for a bad one to a totally shocking one, i cant even belive all this has happened. I hope you get your bike sorted

Short answer, no. Only 'damage' a dyno has done to my bikes is its marked the tyre, no more than say doing a wet session on a tyre that has previously been used in the dry[1].

I have stayed out of here because I can offer no more advice than has been given on here.
What I would like to say though is, we are quick to condemn (rightly so in this instance) the police when they **** up, but slow when they do a good job, so, well done RH for sticking up for what you believe in.
That is all.

I agree.

Flameboy, mate, you should not have accepted your bike back like that.
Although maybe you thought you'd be preventing more damage to it.

Un-bloody-believable.

I would have done my nut.

Really glad you have some help from RH on this, because what has happened is SO outrageous.

TBH it sounds like the new method of getting you to shut up and go away. Not very impressed.

Once more, Good luck with this.

RE Av Gas reference - sounds like garage mechanics humour.

Of course they have offered to pay to put the bike right?

Nice1 RH for standing up for justice and not the badge. Big respect offered there.
Flameboy - Thats gotta sting, follow RH to the letter and you wont go far wrong.

All the best, I look forward to catching up again in a few days time.
