dood. i've been to every place around this goddamned state and havent found a single shop that treats you like they want you to ever come back. My friends have bought NEW bikes CASH!! and they dont even know his name when he comes back..wtf. So we all agree that shops need to have some people skills and customer relations.
parts on hand seems to be a big problem...i can understand that it takes a lot of cash to have parts on hand but jesus f'in christ. Places dont ever have ****, besides a bunch of crap that i dont want, like calendars and trendy hats. eat my *****. get some tires..get some performance parts, and maybe even get some ****in stunt **** on hand..JEEZUS i mean who in the motorcycle world spends more than stunters??? we break **** on the regular.. we modify our bikes...we replace **** that isnt even broken.. i dont understand why no one caters to us???? WTF :YEAH
i just started two new websites...they arent up yet, but as soon as its in effect I know where you MA folks can bring your bikes to !!! :YEAH

SunState FunSports in Florida, bought both my SV650 and 1000 new, cheapest in Florida. I need parts, they order and I never had to pre-pay in advance. They know my name and play my vid on PC for those interested in buying an SV. Service department are a bunch of thieves, but parts dept. compete with Ebay

Re: what do you like/dislike about your bike shop..
in new england, you must find me to get stuff for good prices.
currently i'm at Naults Honda in manchester where i sell motorbikes. come see me and i'll hook you up. the parts thing is always a struggle with shops. as far as labor goes, you should also see me since my bro is a tech and you will get charged 1/2 the labor rate for the same service.
if you are looking for salvage, i also work with Argo Cycles in Manchester and i pass on great deals there as well-to the tune of usually saving a minimum of 5 beans and sometimes as much as 12 beans.
it is all about who you know and now you know me!! lol

Bike week 2001. We're all stunting out back of the hotel and I did a 180 stoppie and cracked my rim. One of the guys from Argo Cycles calls his partner back home and tells him to ship a 900rr rear rim when he sees how depressed I am having driven from Mich to stunt and cracked my hoop in the heat of battle. Next day, it arrives at his hotel and I'm back at it for the rest of the week.......Didn't know me from adam and wouldn't accept the money I offered for the rim.
