is it cheaper to just find a shop to keep it at until next season??

Most shops offer bike storage. Just drop off your bike. Call a week ahead at start of season and just bring insurance papers.

Seriously?! Damnit, always wanted one lol. Nearly bought a black one in early 2011 but someone snatched it up.
There was a classic blue one in Coquitlam I think, but it was in really really bad shape. He wanted around a grand if I recall

Raid3n 10-07-2012 11:27 PM

there are 2-3 in the LML that are ridden regularly.

dn53 10-15-2012 06:36 PM

who's still riding? saw around 4 bikers throughout my work commute today. the morning was nice for a ride.. not so much around the 5pm traffic rush

only issue i got is my hands get way too fucking numb when they get soaked

z3german 10-15-2012 07:19 PM

Bayside selling a front and rear set for $330! Thats a killer deal for Canadian market!!!!

I think that includes installation as well, correct? Or is that extra?

Bayside tires are from the states.

So are a lot of other goods being sold in Canada. I think he's just saying that for a company selling in Canada, that their prices are a good deal, regardless of where the retailer got them from. Don't think he's trying to say the tires are made here or anything like that.

Yah, I get that, just saying for those tire deals, bayside just brings them up from the states. But people dont' really care when they are getting a deal.

And and your point is?????

Doesn't make the tires worst or not work.

z3german 10-16-2012 03:56 PM

$80 for install i think.

$330 just for both tires.

I was quoted at 2nd gear in poco both tires + install = $542.05

Saved myself the long drive + $100, plus Ben is great to talk to he is so passionate about bikes.

Didn't say they are worst and dont' work, where did that come from?


Post context was "Thats a killer deal for Canadian market!!!!"

My point is simply the tires are from the states, hence the lower price, compared to other local vendors who get tires from "Canadian Suppliers".

yelnats8 10-16-2012 09:45 PM

Bike just got winterized today and is in storage now. I was hoping the weather wouldn't change to shit so quick :okay:

Btw if anybody is looking for a place to store their bike, mspeed performance offers it for $30/month and they'll put your battery on a tender.

Raid3n 10-17-2012 12:13 AM

lol, i'm stupid, i don't work tomorrow. but if the weather a couple hours ago is any indication of tomorrow, it'll be shit :c

*edit*

however, this is promising

Wednesday: A mix of sun and cloud. High 12. UV index 3 or moderate.
Wednesday night: Becoming cloudy in the evening. 30 percent chance of showers overnight. Low 7.
