A+++ experience. Ben was great, the staff was great and the mechanic was awesome. I was skeptical because I had heard some mixed things but I will 100% be going back there in the future. I was very impressed. Ben greeted me in a very friendly manner in the morning, checked my bike, talked my ear off (which I liked), explained a million different things to me (knowing I am a rider) and when they had finished the tire the mechanic went over a list of additional adjustments and tweaks he had made on my bike that he had noticed (the clutch feels amazing now).

Additionally : this is the first time I have ever changed tires on my bike... I have put just over 5,000kms on it in the few months I have had it and it DESPERATELY needed new tires... the difference is UNREAL.. literally like riding a brand new machine... it holds it line perfectly in corners, it stays dead straight on the road, the grip is SOOO much more confidence inspiring.... wow. Plus, it's amazing to spend under $450 for new tires installed as opposed to $2,000-ish for my cars in the past... lol..

i agree, more often than not bayside is great to deal with..

but when it came time to change my tires, they wouldn't do it because my bike was "too old".. sure it's an '84 but the concept hasn't changed...

that's the only thing that disappoints me. if i need work done i HAVE to go to modern. no one else will touch the bike.
