Unless of course the service indicator was for the oil change...? Either case story needs to be clarified.

*shrug* grey haired tire kickers...... lol.

Not sure how some people can make it through a dealership without being hounded. I generally dress like a bum and seem to attract the sales people. I guess I look average Joe approachable.

Ha...... HA. Oh Joe... Spit up some of my coffee. Been with my spouse for 8 1/2 years, we keep our money separate and expenses go 50/50. I tell her i'm going to buy something (if it's over $1000ish), because I generally want her opinion if I'm being retarded. These days I think it would be...

brain fart on the comp. Gap insurance is if the bike is totaled they would give the cost of a new bike. This is for 2 years IIRC. It wasn't really much to add on. I just faxed the bill of sale over and that was it. As with most people, I probably have way more insurance than I need.

I've heard from numerous sources the K&N Filters are absolutely atrocious as well......

$746/year combined!!! Jesus. I pay $1120/year for just the 690.... ;( Although it's fully covered with fire, theft, liability, comp, gap. *sigh ontario shamurance*

I know it may sound strange, but every vehicle/bike I have purchased I just emailed the general manager or sales manager. Said I want this, please have the paperwork ready when I get there. Would never go to a dealership these days to "negotiate" or even attempt to purchase something. Except...

Didn't know you were so close! I was itching to buy the 1190 Adventure off him... ;) So when are we going for a ride? lol

Spoke to the owner of Mission Cycle for awhile, seems like a pretty nice guy. I was having an issue with a couple recalls from another dealership and he hopped on my bike, took the bike to the service area and fixed it. I didn't have an appointment or anything. Pretty good service if you ask...

That seems a bit excessive... but I guess if you have been burned.....

+2 ? for Pete's

lol.

Who needs kickstands when you have side luggage..... ;)

Congrats on the bike! Not sure if they can do Suzuki, but GP Bikes can get a lot of parts, at a decent price. If it's over $89 it's free shipping. Just make a list and try Ken @ GP Bikes. There's also A Vicious Cycle (twistedthrottle.ca) and DualSportPlus I hear you on the exchange rate...

How long have you been riding? Really surprised you have not heard of HTA172...... Not sure how people have "spirited" rides these days.... Cops are literally frothing at the mouths waiting for a big juicy charge. It doesn't help I live in Oakville and they have this stupid rural blitz going...

The boots do look good... I heard the Thor boots are also decent. https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/thor-ratchet-boots.html

Doh... So i'm a little late to the party... Didn't know you were having an issue bleeding the brakes. I have a vacuum pump that I use for that. Took me about 5 minutes for the front and back on the GS1000. boyoboy's method definitely works though.... I'm just lazy and I was doing it myself.

I never really squid, just not worth it. Case in point, recently had a minor incident off-road (was that wonderful mud trail AKA Death Valley with my slick tires) ... I was wearing motorcycle gloves, jacket, pants, helmet and boots. I was going maybe 30 KM/H and landed in DIRT. This is the...

I use Osmand+ on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It has offline navigation and track recording/following etc. It does work quite well for an app that only cost me a couple dollars. I would rather use a dedicated GPS, but my Garmin GPSMap 62s is kinda hard to read. I also dislike that it will...
