    Buying Selling on Kijiji woes

    Sometimes buyers need "motivation". More than once I've had "maybe I have time to see it next week" and when I say OK, someone else is coming tomorrow, all of a sudden they want to meet tonight. But by far the best ones are "what is your best price?" Well MY best price is the one I listed it...

    Should I replace my rear brake?

    Maybe it's a drum brake and he's got some loose crap floating around in there? Unless I missed the part that says what he is riding.

    Safety Certificate house calls?

    Well nobody is going to give you a safety if the bike needs repairs, so house call or not it won't happen. Do the repairs and take it over to the Canadian Tire at Jane and Rutherford. As others have said, it's not legal to perform inspections except at the place of business.

    Any Daytona 675R owners?

    Sturgess is the best for Triumph parts. They can tell if the part is in Georgia, which means 1 week, or the UK, which usually means 2 weeks. Never had to wait any longer than that, and I had to order some pretty weird stuff (track bike, don't ask). GP Bikes always said 3-4 weeks before then even...

    holes in a brand new car for rust proofing

    When I took my truck to Krown I asked about holes, and they said "they don't do that any more". So I'm not sure if they meant just for my specific vehicle, or in total. I had my trailer done, and they did drill holes to get into the crossmembers without me telling them. So I don't know what to...

    Rim positive offset question for the car ppl

    Depends a bit on the tire profile and rim width - they are the same width, right? If the 35 offset rim is wider it will be closer to the suspension by 5mm plus half of the extra width. For a front drive car it's probably the struts that will rub first, so check for space with weight on the...

    New yEar's leaking toilet rant

    They don't use those soft rubber gaskets between the tank and toilet any more because they discovered that after a while they leak. All the crap in today's water, and people put those blue pucks in the tank too, both combine to kill the gaskets in no time. The answer? One piece toilet FTW!

    Who has the best BMW service department?

    I found the address, 24 Allaura Blvd. Unit 4 905 713 2651. Ronn is an excellent tech, very good at diagnosis as well as repair. There is some activity on Facebook, Andrew Charters gave him the big thumbs up. I'll have to stop in and say hi.

    Who has the best BMW service department?

    I would be interested to hear who/where this is as I'm just south of you and have bikes out of warranty. Do tell.

    Who has the best BMW service department?

    There's no doubt you will get better service (or at least the best chance) when you return to the dealer where you bought the bike. Regular service to warranty requirements is one thing, diagnosing issues and rectifying them appears to require a higher level of knowledge and experience. I guess...
