My 74 yr old mom wouldnt agree with that idea.

I have 12 yr old and a 15 yr old kids. Just me and my daily talking and all , it has surprised me a lot when they call me out on things and tell me stuff is offensive and I sound like a racist cracker When they explain to me something is offensive I am surprised. I have been learning at my ripe ol age that yea-- it doesnt matter if I think it is offensive or not, maybe it wasnt back in the 70s or 80s but time has changed and so should I Maybe consider the others feelings

Im happy you live where you do -- Thanks for the updates

The shop is well known and liked. I think my initial posting was not so much to bad mouth the shop itself but to maybe get someone saying it was a legit cost. The same shop has treated me well over time and has gone out of their way previously, the extra mile when it wasnt needed and the costs were much more affordable. I will say that after my previous posts , someone who is in the know at the shop did reach out to me. The guy apologized and offered an explanation. He did so on his own off the record. That meant a lot to me and yeah I am not happy about the over all cost -- My wife reminded me to take it in perspective. Why bitch about a high bill for something that gives me such relief and pleasure and then not thinking about dropping hundreds on a dinner out.

Have you reached out and contacted them to see what can be arranged? Small business owners are getting rather creative lately to keep their business going and customers happy Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

My wife's CF Box is doing videos and Zoom meetings to workout. I've never done that stuff before so doing so with her has been humbling. Also my kids teams are doing online workouts. I only ride so this is kicking my ass. I need it though. Edit.... My legs feel like knives are twisting in them. #humbled Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Maybe they just returned from the beach for spring break? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I thought about that last night and then remembered how close to BC we are. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Maybe new bikes can be financed for the ridiculous 84 something months and deferred 120 day 1st payment @ 0% apr. I keep hearing these ads this weekend for new cars and thought if only I can snag that new Evil Chamois Hagar for that deal... hmmm. Cash is king for me though. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Thanks . I showed one of my kids this tonight , the kid finally understood what we have been trying to tell them.

Trails were quite nice today. On one hand being out of work sucked over last summer. On the other I miss riding every day when no one was out. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I'm pretty sure he identifies as a man. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

And Chief did the right thing and owned his comment and admitted the mistake and didn't blame. Like a man. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

He didnt know why since the tech who worked it wasnt there and it was not noted in their notes. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

No.. just that the rear would obviously be bled since it was the caliper being replaced. I was told this AM the front needed bled..I took their word. I asked him the damage and he said $50 for front and read bleed. Under the idea of supporting local I said fine. Went back this afternoon and told it was the $87. He said he forgot to mention they replaced pads. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Yea..picked up the bike this afternoon. Feel violated kind of. $87 for a bleed on front and rear. They tossed the "old pads" that had less than 15 miles on them and replaced with new. Took it in for warranty replacement on rear caliper. So that total hurts I guess it will be like having new brakes but hurts knowing I could of should of done this myself.

Dont forget it is spring break,,, Park camping the last few yrs has dramatically increased. Not shocked at all

They have had it about 2 weeks now. I dont honestly recall how the front felt. Owell. Since it was in for warranty work and the back was being bleed I told them to do the front. Then I asked the price for the bleed. Damn. I will do it myself next time. Thank You Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I was told my front brake needs to bled because there was air in the line. But ,, how would they know there was air in the line without bleeding it 1st?

On the bright side. I saw a lot of blue bonnets and wildflowers on my ride this afternoon. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
