Aggravating day. I have been looking into renting a bike for this 800 mi. trip we have coming up in June. Called a dealership and asked about their rentals. Guy gets my info, starts the reservation process and then tells me the bike I'm interested in is booked for that time period and all he has is another model that is a lot bigger and more to rent. I get hit with a moment of panic and tell him to reserve it for me.
Later that day I'm looking into the model he does have and realize it is HUGE, like 900lbs without riders. I call another rental place and find out they have exactly what I want and if I join the AMA (motorcycle organization) I can save 15% on the rental which ends up being a significant amount of money.
Today, I join the AMA, called and emailed the first guy and said to cancel the reservation and if the bike I originally wanted becomes available through a cancellation to let me know. An hour later he emails me back and says he's changed my reservation and got me back on the first bike I asked for......???
Cost me $50 to join the American Motorcycle Association for a year, but even still I'm saving $100 so I guess I shouldn't complain.
Seems fishy he didn't have the bike I wanted until I told him to cancel and I was going elsewhere.
