Title: Question for Vancover, BC area FJers
Post by: Zwartie on April 23, 2013, 11:02:45 PM
As some of you may know, I (and 3 other riding buddies) will be riding from Ontario to Alaska this summer. We are going to stop in the Vancouver area on the way there as my sister lives in Surrey. I am going to schedule a tire change in the Vancouver area so I'm looking for recommendations on a decent bike shop. Here are a few shops I found using a Google search:

http://motomethod.com (http://motomethod.com)

http://www.essentialmotorcycleservices.ca (http://www.essentialmotorcycleservices.ca)

http://www.2ndgearmotorsport.com/ (http://www.2ndgearmotorsport.com/)

Your recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Zwartie

Sorry Zwartie can't give any great recommendations, I've been taking mine to the former Pacific Yamaha now Pacific Motosports (BMW Triumph etc.) the resident FJ mechanic is still there and if I "really" need something done to my bike I take it there. I did look at the first link Motomethod and love the concept. That would be my first choice.

PS I'm in South Surrey

Thanks Andrew for the recommendation. Since we will be staying at my sister's place in Surrey this may be a convenient location. Plus, the other 3 bikes on the trip are a Triumph, BMW and Guzzi so this may work out for all of us.
