Saddlebags: burned a hole

[northsidegz]

Over the winter I store my bike at a local bike shop. I had them install new tires this winter. No big deal. Got my bike back (they delivered it back to me at my home) and rode it into work a few days later. Upon arriving at work and opening the saddle bags it was clear something was smelling.

Sure enough, after replacing my tires and re-installing the saddle bags, they must have placed the saddle bags on my exhaust pipes. There's now a rather large hole in my right side saddlebag. In fact, I have a bunch of black burnt leather on the exhaust pipe, too.

My wife insists I call the shop back and tell them they need to fix the situation for me. I'm more of the mindset of, I took the bike back from them and told them everything looks fine.

Anyway, trying to decide if it's worth my time going back to them, or not. A bit bummed since they were a pretty nice pair of Willie & Max saddlebags, too.
