Blac, I wish I could say that was me you were seeing on 196th but more than likely it was someone else. I haven't ridden my bike in a month because of crap weather and it's been at Aurora Suzuki for a helicoil fix the last two weeks. Long story.

you did the right thing by taking it to aurora, I've had nothing but problems from everett powersports. I guess there's a couple more guys running blue white TLRs around the lynnwood area

I'm not convinced that Aurora is that great either. Very bad experience so far. They are fixing a problem that they created and hence the reason why the TLR is in the shop right now. Shiny Side Up Motorcycle Service in Everett are very good but the turn-around times can be sustantial. The owner, Adrian, does a bulk of the work and does a very good job. All makes and models serviced. You should check him out the next time you need some work done.

What kind of issues have you all had at everett powersports? I have only had the service department do one thing, and I was very pleased with their service. Their parts department seems to be pretty knowledgeable with TL's and generally have the parts I need in stock.

Let's just say I wasn't pleased with EPS's service. I suppose we all have those horror stories from different service centers. That was the first bad thing I've ever heard from aurora though.
I'm up for a Saturday AM run, who's in?
