So uh - this puts me in a dilemma now that Ted doesn't do house calls anymore.
I have never ridden my bike (or a bike)... yet I need to pass the safety inspection before I can begin riding the bike.... which would mean riding the bike to a safety shop (which legally and physically I can't do).
Kind of bummed out now that I'll likely have to pay a 3 or 4 hundred bucks to get the thing towed back and forth (The bike is in Mississauga)

You can thank all the blabbering boneheads for that.
Search out the threads about Rosey Toes, here and in the archives, you'll see what i mean.
Fortunately, for a select few, that aren't rats, Ted's services will always be available.
The rest of you can deal with the pirates, and pay for unnecessary repairs.

For sure eh. Thanks to Mr. Harper Ted is being selective for who he does house calls for.
You can always do what Mikbusa said.

Unfortunately for me - I registered my bike as "unfit" when I transferred ownership (per our 6 day law). When you do this - you are no longer eligible for a temporary permit. So that's out of the question. I do have some illegal plates I could put on and risk it - but I don't know.
If someone volunteers to do this they'd have to do so illegally :S

Some shops will gladly pick up the bike...especially if it needs more than just a simple safety ticket. Find the closest shop to you call them offer them some extra cash for pick up, get some work done while its in there tires, brakes, oil change etc. Shops are super slow right now and are looking for something to do. Some even do winter storage where they will come pick it up...pay the storage fee get some work done pick it up when it s warm!
Or for 50$ rent a truck for the day strap it in and take it!

The Uhaul idea isn't a bad idea but I'm not sure how to get a 500lb bike up into the truck and secured. I am terrible with my hands.
I do have a Honda Odyssey mini-van but I HIGHLY doubt that would fit my bike lol

Search 'mobile safety' or something like that on kijiji.
The other day I found a class A mechanic that said he would safety a bike in my garage for $170.
I am not going to go that route though.
First I am going to check the mechanic shop 500m from my house and see if they will safety a bike, if so then I will walk it there.
Otherwise I will get a uhaul truck. For $20 + $0.69/km you can get a cube van with a large ramp -- you just need some tiedowns and you are good to go.

I wish you had posted this thread one day earlier.
I rented U-haul truck from 'Sauga and took it to Ted, day before yesterday.
Cost me $110 .. I know a lot. But yeah, rented a truck with ramp, and stuff.
That price is including gas and milage i paid to Uhaul. Make sure you tie it down, or someone sits at the back.
You could also take in a van, which would be a lot cheaper. But you will pretty much have to deadlift your bike in there unless you can find a ramp

Um. Hold on now. I think I'll have to burst your bubble.
If you get insurance fraudulently, do you really think they will pay a claim?
