Thanks to everyone who offered their two cents worth on diagnosing the possible problems with my bike recently.

Sending it out to a tuner was a little expensive not knowing what the result would be, but will save me a pile down the road.

We have very few tuners up here in Toronto, I’m a carburetor guy… I didn’t know too much about fuel injection until I started talking to the tuner.

The set up he has is great, Dyno is in a trailer… he does test in the parking lot at the shop during the week, and tows it out to events on the weekend.

Info is that he does about 500 tunes a year.

After seeing how well the bike was tuned after the test it got me thinking about a business opportunity.

With all the guys getting into bikes now because of the price of gas, I’m wondering if it would be as successful as I can envision….

Can anybody else see this being a success?

Any suggestions on what direction to head in?

I got along great with the tuner and would expect that I could purchase a unit and work on a franchise like agreement with him.

If you are going to base your business in Canada and not venture to the big events in a mobile unit,( in other words, not become a competitor)  I would be willing to bet the John Golden , Twolanerider's friend would give you all the advice you'd ever need. John travels to all of the major bike rallies in the US. He is hands down the best there is and also the nicest guy you'd ever meet. Were I you and really serious about this, I'd send Twolanerider a PM and set up a meeting with John at his home in Missouri. The cost of the plane ticket, hotel and meals would repay itself 100 fold in the help John could give you.

just my $0.02
