I rode to GP Bikes this afternoon (a Friday) at about four o'clock to pick up a part I had special ordered.

My bike is due for its 10,000km service. It's always a hassle because I have to schedule an appointment three or four weeks in advance, drop the bike off the night before, have my wife drive me home, all the while hoping for good weather. Then my wife has to drive me back the following day during brutal rush hour traffic. A drag, but necessary.

So, after picking up my part, I approached Josh at the service counter, figuring what the heck, I'll ask if he can squeeze me in right now. He looked for an idle mechanic, then sure enough, said "No problem!" Did I mention it was a Friday afternoon?

I had already changed the oil myself, so they only charged me twenty bucks. What a deal! Great service from Josh and the mechanic whose name I didn't get. Thanks guys, thanks GP Bikes!
