    2 sets of 6G bars?
    I've been looking here for a set with no luck.
    If Lint doesn't need them, and you don't mind posting to sunny Oztralia, and want a reasonable price for them, I'm intersested.
    I have no idea what postage costs would be from Canada.

    Hi Jorge,

    A friend of mine said he found someone that is near you that is supposed to have excellent prices on tires and installation, and it's pretty close to you as well, well at least Google says it's close to La Puente.

    His name is Gary
    Import Motorcycle Specialists
    25345 Ave Stanford Unit 206
    Valencia, Ca. 91355
    661-877-6725
    Tell him Chandler White referred you (my friend). He said he won't go anywhere else.

    I'm going to check him next time I need new tires. I've been going to one place for over 6 years, but hey, if I can save, then...

    I have to add this to my recommendation, it too is about an hour away. Maybe it will be worth it tho.

    It's not what I did to my VFR, it's what I did "for" my VFR.
    Keeping it at home these days and couldn't pull it all the way under the eaves. Took 300 pounds of shit out of the storage shed, moved said shed Egyptian style and then laid down 1600 lbs. of gravel by hand. I think she's happy. eve.JPG

    Shoot me a PM with your addy. I'll see if I can dig them up before the snow flies ... they're under the house right now in a rubbermaid container. :)

    Just read about your incident Lint. My heart goes out to you.
    Glad you're okay.
    Kudos to duccman. Did he have a bike trailer?

    Thanks Rob! Roy helped me out with his AAA RV towing policy. HUGE HELP!!! I was able to have it towed to my home. For some reason AMA won't tow a bike if it has been in an accident. Doesn't make sense to me, but it's only mechanical breakdown.

    Most roadside assistance like BCAA, AMA, AAA cover for mechanical breakdowns and not collisions. Collisions are usually covered by your vehicle insurance. Of course there are exceptions to this but I was always running into that concern in my previous life. People involved in collisions were wanting to call BCAA towing but they were not on the towing list at that particular time so we used who we had contracts and agreements with. When the BCAA contracted tow company was listed for towing that particular day, and came to a collision, they would not bill BCAA for the tow. It was billed to the vehicle insurance company. Such was the life in BC back in those days, and I believe still the way here now.

    Hmm. Might be a part time business opportunity here. Motorcycles only, crashed or not.

    Is that a rubbermaid container, or a container the rubbermaid came in?;)
