    +1 for Ken

    Just got my Fizzer back. Ken picked it up, replaced all of the fluids, the front/rear pads, front springs and adjusted the valves. Throughout the process he was very friendly and helpful with advice in addition to having unbeatable prices. He'll definitely see my baby next time I can't/don't feel like doing some work on it.

    Re: +1 for Ken

    With all parts and labour and taxes, it cost $560 (like $515 before taxes). That's at $30/hr, but it may go up $5 in the future, if I understood it right. All told, it was a 50/50 split on parts/fluids and labour. It took a bit under 2 weeks but Ken understood that I was in no rush to get the Fizzer back, so it didn't rate high on the list of priorities. He picked it up and dropped it off.

    Just sent him a PM About some work I need done on my 06 750 and he got back to me within 30 minutes. And what can I say, i'm floored by the prices and the honesty already...

    What a relief. Look forward to meeting him soon!

    kneedragger88. As for the shop, that's irrelevant, since he picks up your bike and drops it off when it's done. Actually he's way out east.

    I have all my work completed at Ken's place. I live in the next town away from Ken's place and he usually has my bike back within 24 hours. Every bike I have owned gets serviced with him. He serviced and certified my virago 750, Kawi ex-500, CBR 600 F2, and will be servicing my newest purchase my 2006 CBR 1000RR.

    Always top notch service and he honestly cares about his work.

    Ken is great. +1 from me for sure. He will come and pick your bike up and have it back to you before you even knew it was gone. Does great work. Would recommend him to anyone.

    Cool guy also. Nice to chat with him about riding and racing for sure.

    Yep,
    Great guy. Does the work and then follows up with feedback/overview of your bike and gives advice on how to do it yourself. True love for the sport, not just doing it for a paycheque. Service and Value that no shop in the GTA can dream of providing.
    Cheers Ken, you'll get my recommendation to anybody.

    +1 as well - just got my bike back from him tonight and while he doesn't normally work on cruisers he was great - very friendly, offered suggestions, and you can't beat his price - the pickup and delivery was for no charge!

    Will definitely call on him again in the future.
