The bike takes up less room when standing upright in the garage too.<br /><br />With my bike we had to get a rear paddock stand, but it works since I don't have a center stand.<br /><br />Hubby hits me up with those "we are in the area' comments too. I can usually guess his motivation at going to a particular location. We have Harbor Freight Tools - I think it is the equivalent. Alway something on sale and 'needed.'<br /><br />Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-78326202570951428862013-04-28T09:09:33.431-04:002013-04-28T09:09:33.431-04:00Bob - True, sometimes the quality leaves a lot to ...Bob - True, sometimes the quality leaves a lot to be desired (like my wheel for instance) but for the average weekend mechanic the combination of quality and price is pretty good.<br /><br />Love your "we are in the area" comment. :)Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-66152346239077827212013-04-28T09:07:18.364-04:002013-04-28T09:07:18.364-04:00It has been a long winter.

I noticed that their tools are more finished with their Pro-Line. I bought a flex ratchet with a telescopic handle and some Torx bits. They also have quality reflective tape. It is hard to go in there and not buy something.<br /><br />BTW, Princess Auto is an hour away from me in Langley, so most of the time we take a drive into the country on Sunday and then I say "might as well go to PA as we are in the area"<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-75276733485514245832013-04-27T22:29:21.186-04:002013-04-27T22:29:21.186-04:00Princess Auto is quite a store (last thing I bough...Princess Auto is quite a store (last thing I bought there was a set of loading ramps - underestimated the weight of the ATV and they collapsed - no one was hurt! Not their fault.) Lots of bikes out today, guess they've already done their oil changes. Looks like it's time - finally. It's been a long winter, it seems.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.com
