    Great experience at Ottawa-area dealership

    I don't know about that. Before I heard of all the bad reviews, I would have happily taken my bike there for something I didn't want to (or couldn't) do myself. Now they're on the blacklist - or rather, they're no longer on the extremely short whitelist. Surely as more and more negative reviews...

    If any stress were involved, I would hope it would just be Jerry's.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Apparently it may be your wiring harness, which can be cleaned if not too bad, and not the TPS itself: https://www.ducatimonster.org/threads/faulty-tps-sensor.359483/?post_id=3195128#post-3195128

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Yeah, I meant to type 420 lbs, but subconsciously typed 220 from the kg rating.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Do you not enjoy riding it? Seems like your problems have more to do with wrenching, but there's no guarantee ytou won't run into simmilar issues with any other bike. And doesn't your Multi only weigh about 420 lbs? Unless you're going for a 690 SMCR, you won't get much lighter.

    Old man with a hose

    Old man with a hose

    Did your neices witness it, and would they be willing to go to court with you if that's what it comes down to? I think without witnesses, it may be your word against his. Also, as far as I understand, only the police can charge him with assault, so if they don't then he gets off on the criminal...

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    Looks like pictures only required for a small subset of items, like brake pad and disc thickness, and tire tread depth. Around 9:00 it says "Failed items will require you to take a photo or video of the failed or repaired component." Also later at 11:45, it shows that pictures are only required...

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    This is the video walkthrough from DriveOn. I've only watched a quarter of it, and so far every picture seems optional. On the flip side, guys like me who despise letting "professional" shops touch our bikes now have hope that Ted-style inspections may still be possible...

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    Does anyone know if MTO only requires pictures for a passing inspection? That might be why there are none, and certainly doesn't help others in this type of situation. EDIT: Oops, they passed it, but still no photos. I'd be looking into that with MTO.

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    Get the name of the tech who did the work and the service advisor who told you all that (if different). Then send Jerry a link to this post and demand that he address it before it goes farther than just GTAM.

    Princess Auto 1000 lb motorcycle lift on sale $600

    I agree if you're servicing other people's bikes, but for someone like me who primarily has 17" tires on everything, the PA chocks are hard to beat. That said, I also have a Baxley LA Chock which fits anything from an 80 to a 190 tire, and 15" - 26" wheels. I use it to park one of my bikes...

    Princess Auto 1000 lb motorcycle lift on sale $600

    I had the same problem with my 2011 CBR125R's 100 front tire. I ended up parking it backwards and the 130 fit fine.

    Enbridge gave me 2 infractions while changing my meter

    If by tag, you mean the paper forms he gave me, the bottom says "Correction Report: To be forwarded to Enbridge Gas by gas technician completing work." and has fields for the technician's certificate number, company name/address, and TSSA contractor's registration number. Are you saying I can...

    Princess Auto 1000 lb motorcycle lift on sale $600

    Note that this is a little shorter and narrower than the black one of the same capacity, in case you intend to use a rear stand and/or separate wheel chock with it. I bought this (back when it was only rated for 800 lbs) and returned it for the black one because my Pit Bull single-sided rear...
