I asked my mechanic (Auto) who has safetied about eight bikes for me in the last four years, if he could send someone out to my place to do a safety. He said no, has to be done at certified place of business. Which makes sense if you think about it.
I agree that taking it different places would start to make it hard to figure out 'who dun what'. There's a saying in business, it's not so much the mistakes you make as how yo deal with them. Sounds like GP Bikes wants to keep your business.
There's no substitution for your personal knowledge...
When it comes to selling bikes, look at what others are asking, then price yours a bit lower and hope for a decent buyer. You have to totally forget what the bike means to you, how much you've spent on it, how it's been babied, sellers care about one thing - price..

Roadpak here as well. I used to use the steering head strap but found out no need to. Very strong magnets, also much easier to put on and off without the strap.

We've got a 1983 Suzuki Tempter that I just took off the road yesterday. My wife is 5'2" and it was just a tad too big for her heightwise but she liked it in every other way (lots of torque makes it easy to ride). Approx 23,000km and in good shape, a few dings here and there. We'd probably...
I bought my wife a 1974 Honda CB125 (11 hp) :), it was great for her to learn on for a year, 200lbs.
Then she rode our 1983 Suzuki GR650 which was a little bit too big, although after a few drops (not moving, she could ride it fine) I got her a 1979 Suzuki GS425 which is almost the same power...
I have a 1999 Triumph Trophy 1200. Last year my wife and I went to Thunder Bay. Love the bike, hauls a ton of gear and handled great with its new Avon Storm tires!
I was specifically referring to the east-west part of 11 as being boring. I don't mind the north-south part as much (i.e. Cochrane to Huntsville, although they are screwing that part up with the divided highway). It was amazing how much highway construction was going on. Here you are in the...
