at least I could come in and ask for my tires to be rotated and the winter air put into them?

;)  I think if I am ever in 0hi0 I would go to his work place and just sit there and watch him work to see what he really does. Might be interesting.........

You'd probly be bored, Ratman.  Mostly paperwork, ordering parts, writing invoices, answering the phone, bout like a secretary.  Course sometimes I get to "work".  Today I removed a down pipe on an S-10 and re-calibrated the steering sensors on a Saturn.

Man you got bike trouble and a leaky roof too?  That's bad.

Sorry, couldn't resist that.  You got a case of the shingles?  I've heard that's miserable.  Hope you get feeling better soon.

I'm just getting in on this thread, and CDRatman's kind and generous offer for me to help you out.  Sounds like more than a 1-case job to me.  I would have been glad to help you out if I could, but if they're doing it for you for 200, that's not too hateful.

Shingles suck. Especially when they're in the mouth. I'm going on three weeks now. The worst is behind me now. And I couldn't be happier. But the pain is still pretty intense at times. In the ear and teeth and jaw and skin and.... I just hope I'm not one of the lucky few who experience pain for a year after the fact.

No, they quoted me two hours of work. Flat fee. We'll see.

Too late. Bike is in the shop. Anywho, I'm in no shape to do much. These Shingles are kicking my butt.

Sounds like they are estimating about 2 1/2 hrs...remember, there is only 200 cc of oil in the gear case...that's not much.

I, for one, would be very interested in what they find, and how much too much they charge you...

I have a ride Independence Day weekend. This is important because I asked them if they could have my bike done before or on July 3rd. After they saw the bike they agreed that it is probably the O rings or the seal. Now the shop doesn't have ANY of the parts I need. So, in order to speed things up, I get to bring in my own parts which I had to overnight to get by Monday morning. The shop also doesn't use Amsoil so I'm bringing that in as well. Don't ask me why they couldn't overnight it, I don't know. I do know I won't be up-charged for the parts or oil and that makes me happy. They quoted me $198+ tax for the job.  And if the seals and O rings isn't the problem, bike will be done by Wednesday.

No, I mean to say you had me convinced your idea was a good idea at "box of beer". 

Posted by CDNRatMan
 - June 28, 2013, 14:07:46 PM

sorry a box of beer to us is a case or what you call 24 beers in a cardboard box.......

that is why we have a "24" weekend because you can drink a couple of 24's in a weekend.
