For those who don't service their own bike - Sportbike Addicts

PitsVtec · 09-21-2005, 02:39 PM

My friend wants some business, so I'm doing him a favor and posting this up. For those of you who don't do their own work on their bike, there's my buddy Larry. He's a former Honda of East Hanover employee and races dirt bikes, so he knows his shit. He can do fluid flushings, brakes, oil changes, etc. at his house/shop in Berkeley Heights. He's very meticulous and you can wait there if you'd like for some things. It's beneficial for me b/c I don't have time to drop my bike off at Honda and find a ride, nor do I have the parts for same. If anyone is interested, please PM me and I'll pass along the information. Thanks.

It's called being greedy and when that happens people begin to hate your ass! Geez, Cakes your embracing the idea is great b/c we all know shit happens and if you have an emergency riding through the Watchung reservation, The Great Swamp, or on 78 (that's the Berkeley Heights area for those who don't know) he'd be the man to call for some help. Good thinking!

I'm sure he does...he races dirt bikes and has to take care of those bikes every time he races them. He's a very claws on person...he won't do a half ass job. He took care of the first service on my bike...and he's very perticular with things...as Rev said he was there too

I cleaned the thread up and left only the topic-related stuff in. PM me with questions/complaints. Sorry guys.

I talked to Larry last night and trying to get him to sign up. He's cool with people contacting him for help, but don't forget there's a fee for his services depending on what you need done. If you do need his help, please give him time to pick up parts for your bike if needed.

RonJ83 · 09-22-2005, 12:08 PM

pits if you can get him to sign on it would be cool. i might be getting a ohlins rear shock over the winter and im gonna need someone to put it on for me.

Yeah last night he did the oil changes and it was kinda late so I think he probably just fell asleep...but he's aware and I'm going to pester him about it

**Rev** · 09-22-2005, 12:37 PM

yeah he did mine and throttle's oil change last night...he has a bike lift so it's easier..the guy has like 20k in tools in his house/shop. Really clean job..he even sprayed down my bike with the honda spray..lol

as far as the valve job he said it would take too much time because he can't focus on it now. He honestly said to take it to someone who can do it with in a day because it would take him some time to do it cuz he's really busy.
