Nigel cringed when he saw the condition Alexia was in. Squishy front breaks and a bald rear is not the best condition to be riding your bike. He said a new seal would run about $6o, and since my pads were soaked he was strongly suggesting new pads, about $40. Service would be about an hour, and they are $65 an hour. $65, no way?!? Way!! So I am looking at roughly $150 for my front end issues. Yeah!!! I told him he had the job. We scheduled me to bring Alexia by on the 10th and he could do the service while I waited.
Next up, new tire. That's about an hour, but Nigel suggested I search around myself for a tire as I can probably find one cheaper than him ordering one. We'll hash out those details on the 10th.

I can't say I've done my motorcycle's brake pad replacement but I've done my car's. I can't imagine it taking 2 hours, although $65 is actually a good labor cost. Hmmm, motorcycling and sewing? And I thought my anime and motorcycling was a weird mix of hobbies. My own speeding ticket on a bike taught me an expensive lesson I'm hoping to learn for good.
Safe travels,
Dave
