    Local mechanic?

    Just wondering who you all are taking your bikes to. Picking up a used bike I would love to have someone that is unbiased and knowledgeable that can do a full on inspection of the bike just to make sure I won't have any lingering issues.

    Thanks.

    +1 for Jackel. Tracey is a good guy and has a lot of experience. He's rarely on CSC, but has a shop forum on CRN. Go chime up there.

    Used to work for the guy. When someone used to work for someone and still recommends the shop, you know it's a good shop.
    Have owned: '01 Volusia
    Currently own: '05 Z750S

    Yah, give Treacy a call. That's where I took the 14 to all the time. What are you buying now?
