Popped a new battery in the mystery Rebel... Rear brake light works just fine, unlike what the shop said. Turn signals on one slide do not work at all, which, you guessed it, the shop did not say. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

So you bought a motorcycle from them, and they were like, "Thank you for your patronage, have some 13 year old tires"? Holy lol. They really were not willing to write those things off as a loss on their taxes eh?

She may have mentioned it was done when she bought it, I can't be sure at this point. It's possible it was a seller telling her she was new, and she took them at their word. Who knows. It was nice to hear it run though.

Enough to make a video about it? No. Enough to leave a review? Yes. Gotta stand up for the little guys (or girls). But in this case it seems like no one knew what the **** was going on with this bike, myself included, so I'm just going to drop it.

New fuse, booster pack, she runs!!!

THANK YOU!! You just saved me so much trouble. I was going to eventually get to the tires but I figured I would start with just writing an intro, outlining a video, setting up camera shots etc while I try to get it started, etc, and then I would go through the items on the list... But I saw...

Yes, just winter storage. Ironically, the one issue she said she had with the bike was the carb being a PITA... The carb being the one thing the shop didn't mention lol She didn't pick it up from there, I did. Got it sight unseen and told her I would bring it from them myself because it...

Don't know, but I figured I would talk to her dad first. He was a rider in his young days, still has his old japanese bike in the garage. I'm assuming they would probably put insurance in his name for the first year. We're getting ahead of ourselves though, I don't even know if this thing will...

You just took away 50% of the reason I've been in relationships.

I was actually thinking about going a different route and paying a different shop to just "assess" the bike and see what they come up with, and compare that to the original list and reporting back on that.

You guys have given me a lot to consider, thank you! Please feel free to keep it coming. Going to try to talk to my neighbours if I see them today and will report back.

Yep. I might email her up and ask her if the list she got from them was via email and if she could forward it to me. But anyway, to answer your question... all she asked for was *drum roll* WINTER STORAGE Instead she got a list of things that apparently needed to be done, and she/I got a...

Yeah totally a consideration. The format I was thinking of is: "The seller says the shop told her (problem #1) - let's go take a look at that" (show the part, let the viewer decide) "The seller says the shop told her (problem #2) - let's go take a look at that" (show the part, let the viewer...

As mentioned, thinking of offering it as a freebie to the neighbours/neighbour's kid. I never got a hand-me-down vehicle growing up, while my best friend got his mom and dad's BMW and Mercedes... so, I like the idea of being able to give a vehicle to a teenager, it kind of fulfills something I...

Because this isn't a place I want to give even a single penny too, let alone pay them for diagnosis. Mid 90s Honda Rebel. From the shop: The front forks are not providing proper damping, which affects both stability and safety at speed. Your tires are well past their safe lifespan and need...

Putting this one out to the GTAM committee to help me decide... I recently got a bike for dirt dirt dirt cheap. We made a deal sight unseen because the price was sweet **** all. The young woman sold it to me for so cheap because she was told by a local motorcycle shop that the bike had a hand...

Sometimes it's not just about where they're at but who they are. I have Husqvarna, Moto Guzzi, and Aprilia (Studio Cycle), and Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, and Triumph (Powersports TO) all within like 10-15 minutes of my house... More importantly is that I've also personally known the owners of...

Not gonna lie I dig those headlights haha

Us 30-somethings are into Harleys! Just not new ones... because a new Harley in this economy is just silly.

Read the first paragraph again. Then the second one lol It's not the first insurance write off V7 sold at Tiger.
