I seen you a few times on the run. You had stock tires on your bike right? How long have you had your bike?

 

piski

What does she do at Phils?

 

yup....she's still completely stock.....actually we just got it thursday night......had a 360 for a week, but didn't like the top end with the both of us on it...LUV this 650 though...justa tad more power than the old 300 fourtrax. she does accounting and dealer financing. tells me she runs the place...lol...just kidding

I figured it must of been pretty new cause it looked pretty clean. LOL!!! The reason why I remember your bike is cause you went around that big muddly hole on the power line right after the beaver pond. I thought to myself, why doesn't he try that hole. Then I seen your bike up close and I seen that it was pretty new. I was like that for about the first week LOL!!!! I agree with you, when I purchased my bike, the dealer where I purchased it had 4 almost new 360 in the showroom. People would buy them, then they would try the 650 and trade them in. You bought an awesome bike. You will love it. I've had it now since the end of February and I've got almost 1600kms on her. She's been a blast.

That was a nice run yesterday, too bad it rained all day.

I've tried to give my business to the local dealer a few time, but I've came away disapointed so now I drive to Woodstock. It's a shame cause I live in Lincoln, about 2 km from this dealer. Just to give you an example, when I had to get my 200km oil change, I got the local dealer to do it. They charged me $68 just to change the engine oil. They didn't do anything else. I figured it was a bit pricey but oh well it was winter and I didn't want to do it myself cause it was too cold. I called them up 2 weeks ago to find out how much they charged to perform the first service on the bike. This included changing the engine oil, rear end, and front differential oil. Also check the belt and shim the belt if it was too loose. They quoted me $151 plus tax to get this done. I went up to the Woodstock dealer and got the first service done for $57 taxes included. So as you can see it was worth the gas to drive up to Woodstock. Now keep in mind that I didn't buy the bike from these 2 dealers. I'm not sure if this is a dealer thing or a region thing. Everything seems to be a lot more expensive in Fredericton.

 

yea...i hear ya...i know of a guy out home who ran into the same thing with them......ohwell...i do all my own work anyways...but WILL have them do the "10 Hr. check"....I DO get a bit of a deal there ya know....lol
oh..and that hole....haha....if ya noticed...ummm..we had a couple bottles open too at the time, couldn't spill them...lol Also, I had the jeep in that hole last summer digging nice ruts in 2WD and i knew how deep it was....water almost came over the rear of the tub on the CJ5. If ya see nthe old 300 honda....you'd be able to see I don't usually take the " go arounds".....I'll get some tires on her sometime this year, THEN i'll attempt those holes....oh..btw...did you make it thru it ?

 

Bbertram, our so called free health care costs me $1296 a year. How do you figure that's free? We haven't even hit free tax day yet and it is the 15 of June. For those of you who don't know what free tax day is, if you figure out all the tax we pay over the year, all the money you have made up to now is taken by our beloved government in taxes one way or the other. Booze tax, gas tax, property tax, income tax, gst, pst, and a few I don't know about. We are taxed to death and it isn't gonna get any better with the Liberals in power-----unless you make $150,000 a year or so. We don't get anything for free, except places to ride our wheelers!!!!
