Literally my first customer since posting this: Lever goes all the way to the grip. Fork seal was leaky too.

My customers are allergic to changing their brake fluid every two years... Not surprised to see no one has mentioned that, everyone forgets about it lol

I kinda want to convert a cheapo $300 lift table into a wheelie machine after seeing this.

Well said ^ lol

Having worked for several Canadian motorcycle and automotive industry distributors, maybe I'm a little biased here, but it really depends. Look at the cost of parts from motorcycle manufacturers that have Canadian outfits vs the ones where the parts are first shipped and sold to the US, and...

Hi there. Former Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada employee here! Fun fact, when I got hired for Deeley, there was a fairly tenured woman in the company who, among other responsibilities, was in charge of bringing down any unauthorized use of the "bar and shield" (Harley's logo). So get this, for...

You and @Lightcycle 's subsequent posts are both spot on. The risks are high. We fly way too close to the sun. Sometimes it's beautiful (just wrapped up my third annual month-long motorcycle ride across Italy, I probably couldn't do this as an employee somewhere). Sometimes we get absolutely...

Truthfully, no. With the missus' condition she's unable to get any kind of drivers license, so having busses and subways at our doorstep isn't a "nice-to-have", it's a necessity. And being self-employed comes with enough unpaid hours as it is, as does making YouTube videos people will reply to...

That's right. Ask any motorcycle shop (or hell, any business for that matter), if they'd rather have an extra $250k in profits, or a reduction of $250k in costs, and it's a no brainer. It's not the market shrink that's hurting, it's the overhead creep... I don't even think we can call it...

Yep! I found that most people in YouTube comments of previous videos on this topic could only see things from the customer's perspective and totally missed the really important things like this. They just can't imagine how things look from the other side of the table, or how things run behind...

So so sooooooo many more, much more critical, reasons than those.

Thanks, and fair enough! I'll try to be brief and not repeat myself too much. Truth be told when I was looking to setup a proper shop a few years ago with my own retail location, the biggest barrier to entry wasn't (insert laundry list of things mentioned in the video). For me, because I live...

As a YouTuber, I enjoy the videos too, but I enjoy supporting smaller businesses more.

lol I follow him on a couple platforms

Yes, but also no. I'm currently in the Alps, with a loaded BMW G650GS single cylinder, and all my earthly belongings for a month long period, plus some of the missus' stuff. She's joining me tomorrow for the tail end of the trip. Powerwise, I'm mostly fine... except for when the highway speed...

Studio Cycle had a handful of demo bikes last I checked.

Right, but whatever the gear, it's still an anemic S40 we're talking about. My ex girlfriend owned one of those. She looks hot on it, but that bike is an absolute dog in any gear. Based on the suggestion to just drop a gear to go faster, she would have to drop it all the way down to...

Wtf? Firstly, if you are driving the speed limit on the 401 in the GTA, you are holding up traffic and putting yourself and your loved one at risk. Secondly, it isn't about going fast, it's about having a motorcycle with enough power to quickly get away from trouble should trouble come looking...

Just wanted to say, as I've gone through a ton of tunnels this past week, that even when I have no signal, my phone, and by extension my android auto unit, does a pretty good job of approximating my location, even inside of mountains where I would also not have GPS signal.

Reason for sale: GZ250 can barely pull itself, let alone a sidecar lol
