Phoned TimeMachine this morning. I've got it booked to get OPI'ed on Saturday.

Not trying to jinx myself or anything. What is the process if something doesn't pass? Do you need to pay the $215 again, or do you just have to prove you've fixed/repaired the issues?

Thanks everyone who helped ever so much!! John, Angelo, Graham, and Yarko I owe you guys! Signals are all hooked up and working! Horn works. Brake light works for both front and back brake. Only not so okay thing we found is that the rotary valve has some leakage, which is what was causing the leaki...

Oh for sure! I know what an unbalanced wheel is like.. I had snow packed into half of my wheel once. Had a real bad shimmy anything faster than 20km/h. Both places have balancing machines and their fees were for mounted and balanced.

Car Tire Mounting

Hey All, So I've bought some new Continental ExtremeContact DW tires for my car off of Tire Rack. I've got a few options of who and where to get them mounted, but I was wondering if any of you have done this or know a good places. Kijiji tire guy runs $15-20ish per tire and I have a guy at a dealers...

who will you be ordering parts from? Either Scooterworks or SIP. I'm trying to avoid SIP until I have a large order because they use UPS and brokerage is a nightmare with them.. My order so far is going to be 8a fuses, bulbs, and hopefully a battery. None of the local places I called can get a batt...

I liked both locations we went to today, but the second was my favourite. Quieter, more parking, and awesome snacks! Had a lot of fun on the ride and seeing everyone!

John, So I checked the bill and they didn't include the airbox to engine base gasket. So we'll have to just inspect the current one. If it is bad I'll order a new one and put it back together once it arrives. I've read that they can leak from not being torqued on properly.. We'll see. I'm going to m...

Audrey and I are in! We were looking online at coffee places last weekend. Possible place to meet could be the Wild Earth Bakery & Cafe at 8902 - 99 Street. It looked good from their website and yelp reviews.. Anyone been there before? http://www.wildearthbakery.com

Borrowed an expensive volt meter. Got my battery charged. I'm getting 6.5v off the battery, 7v at idle. So the charging system is working. Tested and my signals work, just need the fronts mounted like I've said. Not much left to do before I take it in. :)

The rally and myself are in the west end of Edmonton, near WEM. Audrey was thinking of bringing spakle motion to my place. Whichever you think is best.

I just need help pulling my tubes to get my front signals installed and a hand rebuilding my carb and changing my fuel line. That is all. :D I as well will have snacks and chinotto for helpers.

A lot of the motorcycle scenes were in the dark, I had thought it was a Triumph Thruxton.. Upon searching I found its a modified Honda CL350 like you said. Good eye! Those were the best scenes in the movie I thought! Found some neat shots of the bike here: http://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/2012/0...

No rewiring is or will happen, I aim to stay honourable in the eyes of fellow owners! I'm only testing for shorts and verifying connections at the moment. The ignition side of the system is working fine, it's just the lighting and charging side that has issues. I'm focusing on the two yellow AC wire...
