    Tricky Mike is the man!

    Just had Mike put some new BT016's on my SV. Apparently new SV's have a 12mm hex for the front axle and since we couldn't find something that worked we took a field trip and Mike bought one so that he could change my tires. I can't say enough about the service and how cool Mike is. If you're in the area and need new tires he is your guy!

    Mike is a cool dude. He made me a new swingarm spool & welded it on my swingarm.

    tip: dont park at the top of his driveway if it's covered in ice

    I still can't believe it stopped before it rolled out into the street. I don't think it was ice, though, dude (cough) parking brake (cough)

    I call it was in reverse, with no e-brake. reverse is the strongest gear in a manual transmission. winter tires have plenty of tread.

    but the new spool you made and welded on has held up great. bike's been on the stands all winter, and no issues.

    I had a eerie feeling when I backed the Civic down Mike's driveway that someone would have a tough time on ice.

    Guess I was right.

    sorry for the old thread bump, but I want to further reiterate that Tricky Mike is the man!!!

    I tried and failed to drill out and fix a stuck bolt for a set of hand guard clamps, and Tricky Mike saved the day by fixing the item free of charge and mailing it back to me...really quickly too!

    (it doesn't hurt that christmas is just a few days away...Tricky Mike FTxmasW!)

    Mike do you have a burn out board so that tires can be finished off in the proper fashion?

    for some reason the dog really likes Tioga BMX tires. No interest in M/C take-off's. Not sure why, actually.
