Is it better/ cheaper to take a bike to a dealership or a private mechanic in general?

General Discussion / Bent Front Wheel
« on: March 28, 2025, 11:31:48 AM »
I was hit by a car recently, and now the front wheel is out of alignment. I can't tell where the damage is. Anyone know how much this would cost to diagnose/fix? The bike is worth about $3000 when in good condition.

I know it's difficult in Michigan. There's only one dealer in the Detroit area, and THEY WON'T WORK ON ANYTHING OLDER THAN 10 YEARS. That's a bad sign. That's why I sold mine and went to Honda.

Yeah, I sold mine because the ONLY dealer was miles away and they wouldn't work on mine because it was over 10 years old. I knew then that the brand was going downhill.

I wanted to take my Kymco to my local dealer in Michigan and they wouldn't look at it because it was more than 10 years old. They're only hurting themselves.

How long did he live after the stroke? He didn't sound too hopeful.

About a year or two ago. a big poster here had a stroke and quit riding, selling a lot of his scooters. What was his name and how is he doing? Just curious.

General Discussion / SSR: Surveillance of Society?
« on: June 01, 2022, 07:15:08 PM »
I was riding my scooter last night and saw a unique, small 3 wheeled enclosed scooter in a private parking lot near my house. I decided to ride over to it to check it out. The next day I'm on Youtube when I get an add for that exact vehicle. I never searched online for that scooter or talked to anyone about it, but that CAN"T be a coincidence. Is it possible that there was a camera on the scooter or on a building in the area and connected me with this scooter? If that's true, we are really being surveilled no matter where we go. Kind of scary.

Why was the horse biting the other one? Probably drugged up.

Anyone have this windscreen? It looks decent but will it last? I don't know if it fits Kymco but I'm looking at it for a Super Cub.

I keep hearing people talk about posers, but I'm not sure what they mean. And why are there so many in the riding world?

Agreed!
It's just that the Americas have so many posers. Or so it seems. Lots of real riders. But lots of posers too.
