Wade lots of shops will do it but i gotta take time off work as they dont do weekends , was hopeing to pay someone to come to the bike

Dave

[sunnydog]

Denis has a buddy inspected his, maybe buy the guy some beer or a steak to come out there?

[Shakerattlenroll]

ahh you need a licenced shop to do the out of province ...sorry man wish it was simpler
but the shop has to be licenced to do the inspections

Dave

jmacTry canadain Tire dave they might be able to do it.They inspected the bikes I brought up from the states.They don,t know shit so it was easy.

[sunnydog]

Hey BD, any luck w the inspection?? I heard over in Alberta it's just as simple as passing a brown bag full o' money to someone???

[Big Dave]

It going in next weekend $300 what a pile of crap

Dave

[sunnydog]

Holy shit, I was only kidding!! Yep that's pretty steep. Canadian Tire or....?

[Big Dave]

Canuck tire is not authorized to do the out of province , this is Dennis's guy

Dave

[sunnydog]

So the going rate is $300 eh? Damn that's a lot of coin.

[Big Dave]

Seems to be i will be phoneing around a bit more but very few are licenced to do bikes

Dave

[sunnydog]

Dave, we got one guy in the entire Kootenays, and he told me the next guy is in Kamloops...oh god bless southern B.C., there's nobody here. It's a double edged sword, but I'll take the nice quiet highways.

[zaac]

Must be a northern thing cause it's only $150 down here.

You must be making twice as much money as me being way up there.

[Big Dave]

Im sure thats it

So far its the only guy who will do it on the weekend , if i have to take a day off work i lose more then the $150 differance , just another tax grab

Dave

[sunnydog]

I had to get mine done a few yrs ago in Cranbrook Dave, it was about $200 as I recall, but I did need about $60 more in parts too, then again, livin in B.C. ya get used to tax grabs, which inevitably force you into black money economics. Sunshine tax.

[coopsta]

Dave most shops if the bike is cool, and needs no attention charge 150 a pop, but sounds like the 300 bones is the weekend rate, and probably comes with a guarantee that it passes no problem. I know a guy that will pass a bike for "friends" no matter what as long as it never comes back to him and the right "grease" is used wink wink, nudge, nudge.
When you don't run signals and what nots its kinda handy to have a guy that will hook ya up.

Hey Coop there seems to be a differance betwween a saftey inspection and an out of province inspection the gov't has tied this up as a tax grab the dealer pays $80 just for the form to fill out , i just hate being fucked without a kiss at least

Dave

[sunnydog]

Zaac I'd vote blue if there was one here but all we got is red and orange to choose from...I'm not kidding its true....BC red is a shade of blue actually....think ill go sample some green....

[zaac]

I should have done some research before getting smart.

[Big Dave]

Bike is booked in for May 11 , should pass no problem so that would mean getting insurance the following week and riding the bike home on the 18-19 from Mundare - its been 7 monthe since ive had my leg over , never have i missed a month before this wow this weather up here sucks

Coop can your guy do out of province inspections

Thanks Dave

[Big Dave]

Well i got an email from the inspection guy that pissed me off so im not sure what to do , the email states he wants the bike at 10am and i can pick it up at 4 pm no hanging around , what the fuck its a 6 hour round trip ive got an appointment and it only takes an hour , Bike hasnt been in a shop in the 12 years ive owned it and im suppose to leave it and accept his opionon . maybe its me but im looking around for options

Dave

[zaac]

These gov inspections really annoy me. You buy a vehicle with your hard earned money and can't drive it on the roads built with your tax dollars until the gov says you can. Will the new laws and regs and things you can't do ever stop piling on?

[Shakerattlenroll]

No, unfortunately they wont

[Denistheshovelmenace]

Dave, I'm off most of next week. I can go pick it up at Bill's and take it in any day next week if you find someone.

Also, E&S in the fort does them. I'll call them today when they open.

[Denistheshovelmenace]

Not sure what got into John wanting 300 and all day. He did mine in 10 minutes and it never even came out of the truck. Anyhow, called E&S in the fort. $160.00 I am in town all the time now so I can take it in for you and pick it up. The number there is 997-3818 and ask for service dept.

[Shakerattlenroll]

Windsor motorsports in GP 200$

Northgate Honda lost the bike tech that was licenced to Harley they would cost a bunch there lol

[Big Dave]

Going in tomorrow to E&S $160
just a bitch here ive had the bike 12 years and the onlt two things i havent done on it were Kamloops HD put in a new speedo and drive when i bought it and the indie in osoyoos did the installation of the front fork tubes all else i have done myself
As you know my bike has been stored in Mundare at Bill Hopkins place (Grinder Bill) for the winter and i go down when i can and work on the bike , last minute decision to put new rubber on before the test , Bill says no problem i get a deal on the tires and will put them on for you . Pay me when u can ,when he pulls the front tire of he finds the left slider seized so he pulls the front end off and finds no oil ever put in (3 years now) spring missing on one side and and the triple tree is bent . also finds that the speedo drive has been mickey moused in and was spreading the forks cause part on the fork problem

I get a call last night in camp my bike is back together and ready for the test

If i could nominate someone to this site it would be Bill
He spent 3 days fixing my bike

Dave

[Shakerattlenroll]

That's a pretty good deal there man
and yea , sometimes its just better to fix stuff yourself
I was just shopping for a place , John is bringing up that FLT early this week

[Big Dave]

She Passed , anyone in the area he's the rubber stamp guy
