Rosey Toes

[inyaknow]

As humble as Ted might be, everyone has flaws. Unfortunately, I don't appreciate that trait when it comes to working on bikes, especially mine, so that's one shop, and shop owner I no longer recommend, given my one experience with him.

Exactly.

As much as it sounds a little sketchy he was probably trying to help you out by certifying the bike even though he shouldn't have. Pretty hard to find a certified bike for $1k I would think.

But I think you missed the part where he was the actual seller of the "certified" bike.

 

[inyaknow]

if you really let it go would you have really broughtt his post up ?

I only made the post cause I keep hearing praises for his shop in other posts and thought that I should post my opinion.

To pass safety the bike doesn't have to be running.......No?

really? come on

 

[inyaknow]

You mean your 16 year old, thousand dollar bike was unreliable? Whodathunkit??!?

As I said before, I would have liked to get more than 1 month outa it.

 

[inyaknow]

Bud, you bought a 16 year old bike certified and cheap. If you got 3 steady weeks out of it, it was a deal

Forgive me if I'm wrong but does not a certification gaurantee the vehicles safety for 90 days?

 

[inyaknow]

Cheap lesson...it costs many people alot more to learn this lesson.

I agree, and am glad that nothing happened to me (in regards to wipping out).

Would you guys take brand new bikes to get serviced at Rosey Toes? Or is it only safe to service older, less expensive models (Like my ninja 250) to this bike shop? I, and I'm sure others here also, want the best service on my bike without having something fall off after taking it home.

I wouldn't, but if you hav'nt guesed by now, that's just me.

He may be using tapatalk like I do, and I don't know a way to multi-quote with it.

As far as I know, it does not have to be running to pass safety. I think this varies from one province to another.

A safety is only valid or 36 days and it does not cover your motor or transmission.

no, actually it doesn't.

the piece of paper is valid for ownership transfer and plates...it is not a guarantee or warranty.

Little off topic, but anyone have a recent price on tire replacement if I bring in the bike and new tires?

Thanks

if you bring it to Ted it would depend on the alignment of the moon and the stars and the wind speed that day and the kind of hair cut and cologne you are using.

Anyone that brings any bike worth anything to Ted for anything more than a "safety" in my opinion is out of their mind.

Certification means: AT THE TIME INSPECTED, it was fit. The paperwork is valid for a month, but is NOT any type of guaranty or warranty. Nothing to do with an engine that goes bad or otherwise.

Holding a grudge is like letting someone live "rent free" in your head!
