Same here. Never an issue. Fun guy. (tea bag toss..lol)
Depends on what kind of bike you have. You should see what he did to the nut of a ducati multistrada rear axle (single sided swingarm). Probably was a pipe wrench on the narrow nut slipping off a dozen times.concur. Ted has changed rims on 3 of my bikes, always available last minute and no scratches. think the last one cost me $50 front and rear all in.
Well yes. There's always room for some 'common' sense.Depends on what kind of bike you have. You should see what he did to the nut of a ducati multistrada rear axle (single sided swingarm). Probably was a pipe wrench on the narrow nut slipping off a dozen times.
Then again, when I noticed the damage, I asked the owner of the bike why in god's name would he take that specific bike that needs specialty tools there.
Buddy, there's an old saying that goes..... either take a dump or get off the toilet, there's NO such thing as being semi-retired. Ted Bundy now only wants to change oil and not do the hard, intricate stuff. Last time I took my bike to him with a tranny problem and he said to me; "It's not worth fixing it you idiot, it's as worn and wobbly as your wife". He then tried to sell me used tires. I told him; "Ted if you are useless just let me know man, I'll bring an ambulance and have it on standby outside your shop".If you're the same Pegassus from like a decade ago, are you crazy?
As for Ted, he's semi-retired and wants to pick and choose what jobs he does and doesn't care to do in his last few years working. Nothing wrong with that.
He's never scratched any of my rims. At worst, he asks my girl to take her shirt off when he sees her. Nothing wrong with that either! Her tits are fantastic, I ask her the same thing at home like 12 times a day.
She declines, and then they talk about hiking, mountains, and other hippy stuff together. I think it's kinda cute to be honest. Ted's a good dude. If he's ever truly scratched your rims it was probably on purpose lol
Like I said, you guys have to learn to change tires yourselves, go see Youtube videos, it's a perfect winter project on a snowy Sunday.
Just out of curiosity, what was the bike and how long ago was thisBuddy, there's an old saying that goes..... either take a dump or get off the toilet, there's NO such thing as being semi-retired.

this is how rumors get started!! (again)Not sure how valid this is but ones told that the business next to Ted is taking over his business.

Timeless.Bike Mechanics 101 With Pegassus (For Noobs)
- Never mind the hogwash of buying "stands" worth hundreds of bucks and special lifting devices to work on your bikes, I have picked up a few things I have taught myself. I had not "maintained" my bike for at least 14 months, the battery was water-less, the chain had initiations of what looked...www.gtamotorcycle.com
@Wingboy he's onto you!For all we know, some really smart admin or moderator just made up a ridiculous character to entertain themselves and drive engagement, and they have been trolling us and playing with us this whole time... which would be hilarious.
Bah...busted.@Wingboy he's onto you!
I would be hard pressed to call a 37mm socket or wrench "specialized tools"Then again, when I noticed the damage, I asked the owner of the bike why in god's name would he take that specific bike that needs specialty tools there.

Man, must not have noticed this in my mastercraft beginner mechanic's set. Let me check it again, maybe its tucked away next to the 22mmI would be hard pressed to call a 37mm socket or wrench "specialized tools"
When you roll into a shop needing a rear tire and the shop can't remove the wheel, for all intents and purposes it's a specialized tool.
I am kinda hoping that anyone representing themselves as professional motorcycle technician, would have a better set of tools than a mastercraft beginner's set. Actually, MOST of the professional vehicle technicians I know have a tool fetish, and have a stupid amount of money wrapped up in their tools, and have realistically spent WAY too much money on tools and have tools they will never need/use. You have a flashy, late model bike, techs have toolboxes. I know several guys that have the value of a sizeable home downpayment wrapped up in tools. I know a guy that has about $100,000 in just boxes, not including the tools in them. A decent SnapOn box starts around $10,000 now... just the box, NOICE ones have a stereo, WIFI, groovy flashing lights and a refrigerator... you know... for your "in shop" discosMan, must not have noticed this in my mastercraft beginner mechanic's set.
Sorry, I got "old" Ducs and they have smaller lugs. (37mm = 1 1/2"... you're right, it's probably bigger... what ever it is, I got a wrench for it... and if I didn't have one, I'd GET one and I am FAR from a professional tech)37? More like 55.
