Well another fine job, or should I says jobs, by Adrian. This time I had Adrian replace the steering head bearing and the front fork springs. I went with All Balls bearing and Progressive springs. I love the fact that he sends pictures as the work progresses. I could only wish my garage were...

Thanks. He just texted me.

Does that mean he's back in town?

Just got a text back from Adrian saying he's in Italy with limited connectivity. I suspect the "beep" is a European ring.

Well I stumbled upon Adrian's place purely by accident while looking up another shop. I'm sure glad I did. I called him last Friday and he was able to get me in on Tuesday to change the rear tire on my Triumph Rocket 3. He is a genuinely nice guy and obviously loves what he's doing and the...

My gut tells me it would be an issue. All lights (& horn) must be functional and that will be the first thing they check before you go out on the road. You may want to call the MTO but more importantly I would be getting it fixed. After all it's not just a test issue, it may save your life...

Don't worry about the tester's car, that's his/her job. You do what ever is safe for you. Make sure you signal (left) as soon as the traffic on the highway will see you and make sure you check your blind spot (left shoulder) before entering the highway. As for the right hand turn, you should...

Certainly didn't lose sleep over that point. I guess either I should have told him before or he should have asked. Cheers Jthree

When I took mine I did exactly as you describe. I took the inside (right side) track until the ramp straightened out and at that point turned on my signal and then moved to the left track ready to enter the highway. The most important things to do are be as observant as you can, make sure they...

Well, thanks to all the terrific information in this thread, I passed today in Burlington. 6 points but one was for not using my 4-ways at the roadside stop (don't have 4-ways, Ooops) Oh well. For anyone taking the test in Burlington, the route was slightly different than posted earlier...

Honda VTX 1800 with Vance & Hines pipes. Probably no louder than what you have. Cheers Jthree

Thanks JB and congrats on the pass. Good advice on the helmet as I would have gone with the half helmet otherwise. Just curious... What bike and what pipes do you have? Cheers Jthree

Thanks for the map and congrats on the pass. I am taking my test in Burlington next week, I have a cruiser with fairly loud pipes and usually wear a half helmet, will this be OK or should I wear a full face? Cheers Jthree

Hey everyone. Been lurking for a little while. Read this entire post and don't see much mention of the Burlington test site. Anybody give me a clue as to the route? Cheers Jthree
