I haven't been in years because I haven't had the need, but I always used to hear positives about the folks and work being done at Imperial Motorcycles in Burnaby.

I believe he works at Holeshot as well, but you don't pay dealship prices with him directly

If it means anything, he was also 2nd place in Yamaha's Tech GP

Yeah. We haven't worked together just yet but he's good. We're about to do a custom blow through turbo on my cafe racer :fuckyea:

call George at Gpcycle services in burnaby. He's got his own shop at his place and a good mechanic as well. Check him out

George at GP cycles just got back to me and he is not the same guy that I was thinking of.

You're probably thinking of Sam at Rising Sun who used to work out of his garage off 1st ave and Nanaimo but now has a shop near Hastings and Clark.

BillyBishop 09-07-2016 09:34 PM

Samson's a real stand up guy, I'm happy and proud to see how far RS has come in recent years

racerman88 09-09-2016 06:56 PM

Unfortunately it is not Sam that I am looking for.

I don't know how to be politically correct when I say this but the mechanic is a tall black guy.

Has anyone here had work done by GP Cycles before

I hear lots of good things about GP Cycles, I also hear the mechanic is even willing to show you how to DIY some of the work too.

racerman88 09-13-2016 10:58 AM

Have you dealt with him personally?

Dragon-88 09-13-2016 01:14 PM

I have not, but even some of my mechanics refer to him.

bananana 09-13-2016 02:10 PM

OOOh. Tall black guy. Yeah that shop's now gone (it was called MotoMethod). They had a pretty shit mechanic that really fucked things up for them. I'm not sure where he's at now but he's buddies with the Rising Sun guys.
