Not on. Its like taking your car for a service and and days later you notice the workshop's sticker on your rear window....its unacceptable!

Definite no no.

Same with cars, we tell them upfront no marketing or stickers .... when we collect and the sticker or license plate has their logo on it, they remove it before we take the car.

Just No

See it on cars all the time and it gets me raging. Why should I even have to tell them upfront not to. I'll take your free stickers, but it must be my choice to actually stick it on.

Common practice by the bike shops here without asking, all the bikes i bought here have one....

I don't like it, but being the amicable type i just let it slide... I like Pappwatrap's idea above....think I'll send a few invoices just to see the reaction next time i walk into the shop ????

Ja hey. The car dealers come to mind. Lol. Quite an irritation. Never experienced this with bike shops though but then again my bike seldom goes to the bike shop 

[Furbz]

if i ever find a unsolicited sticker on my bike... 

BMW once did that after a service. i offered to put some of my own stickers on their cars free of charge ???? 

seemed to solve the argument fairly quickly. never had a repeat issue.

Agreed, I won't even put a sticker on my own bike, let alone a bike shop.

No ways. Riding stickerless is 1-10 gram saving

it is a compromise between aero, weight, and aesthetics. The sticker is both less aero and more weight. And in most cases, less pretty

I get most of my exercise these days shaking my head in disbelief ????

This is my pet peeve. Service agents thinking they can sommer plak their *** on my property. Unless they compensate me for sponsoring their dealership they can use their stickers to stick their ass cheeks together for all I care. 

 

a very firm NO from me.

[The Ouzo]

when I still serviced my cars at dealerships I'd take the sticker off infront of them.
