I had/have a swoop, and though it had moderate damage, it should have been good for plenty more rides before being repaired. But when I try to call it up, it just chirps at me and nothing happens. It's still on my datapad. Did I lose it?
Tried searching the forums without any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

If you're not getting a system message about it, there's a bug about not calling it then. Make sure you /bug in-game with as many specifics as you can. Try relogging, restarting (game and then system if it doesn't work), or try after server reset and see if that resolves it for you. If not, try a CS ticket.
FYI, if a vehicle is disabled it can still be called from your datapad, although it does so with a rather large explosion. It will be marked (disabled) if you target/examine it.

Two of my guild members today somehow called their bikes inside a building and they got stuck under a house and a guild hall. After this happened they were unable to store or call their bikes. The only solution was to log off for about a half an hour and it auto stored.

I had this problem, all you have to do is trade it to another player and trade it back. I had the problem that my swoop wouldn't call but my AV-21 would. So all i did was trade the swoop over to a friend, had them call it then store it and then traded it back and bingo it worked.

Looks like I'm back in business. I logged back in today and my swoop was a-ok. Looks like Khristen was right, must have been a server glitch that fixed itself when it reset. Sure hope these type of things don't happen alot, but I guess you have to expect a few kinks in a system as large and complex as Galaxies. If it happens again, I'll try Xplak's solution. That would have probably gotten me up and riding asap instead of having to wait almost a whole day. Thanks for all the great input guys.
Now about "repairing" my swoop... what is this trick I hear about parking it, taking a shuttle, then coming back and it's repaired?, something like that. While I look down upon cheats in general and think they detract from the game, if I have to put up with my swoop going on the fritz regularly, I think a little "free" repair would even out the situation. I've also heard of some glitch where your bike reverts back to it's unrepaired state if it's not stored right or something. What's that?

That repair bug was fixed around Pub 9. Sorry buddy, you have to go to a garage to repair your bike just like everyone else.
