Heaven forbid I actually go to a dealer for something. The local dealer is very nice, but I don't get the idea that their parts and service department is very adept. When I was adjusting valves on the Bonneville a few years ago and needed shims, I called to see if they could swap a few sizes with me. They asked what a shim was. In fact, I think that set of shims was the last thing I ordered from BikeBandit...
Sadly, this issue might be self-fulfilling.
That is, Service & Parts doesn't have the goods or the expertise, riders take it on their own (as far as they are capable) to acquire the parts and do the work themselves. Over time, talent gets laid off or they simply change careers. So the next time you really, really need Service/Parts assistance from your local merchants, the intelligence has long been lost and the garage technician is overwhelmed with routine work order jobs beaver'ing away in the back for sub-standard wage.
