He's scary.  All that talk of wanting to spoon people.

 If the OP is talking about Wilsons in Fresno, they are terrible. Glad they made the smart move to drop Ducati and add MV Augusta.  Cheesy.  They just opened a second mega store selling mostly bicycles....

Bought my first Monster there too. What problem did you have with the extended warranty BP? (Or should I just shaddap and move along?)
I found them to be very accommodating from a guy riding in from SLO. They'd just wait for my bike to cool off and then tear into it. A couple hours later I was on the road back home.

Value and great customer service are totally perspective based things. From my perspective, selling something that is of little or no value to a person at an inflated price ( a price quoted by 4 different people at four different amounts) is highly suspect and kinda shady.
