sorry to hear about this development but, the question that should be asked is would you rather wait a bit and have your bike ride perfectly for the rest of its life, or would you rather end up in a death-skid because RE decided not to worry about the issues the early bikes may have. in many ways, it's the risk you take when you buy a bike that's brand new to the market.
i'm sure it must be torture. because of the current state of the economy, i'm completely without work and that too is torture, because i can't get the money to get the ride i told everyone i was going to have and most importantly, i'm without a motorcycle too, but you know, it's just some things you got to live with. shit happens. all you can really do is wipe it off and keep on trucking. it's not like this things don't happen to other bike manufacturers...
