After having moving back to Louisiana from Los Angeles in 2009, my 2002 Honda CBR 954rr…read more(motorcycle) needed some maintenance and I did not want to bring it to the Honda dealer. A friend and coworker (thanks Don Paul) recommended that I bring my bike to Paul Cashio cycles in Belle Chasse. I rarely get to the Westbank, but he swore by this place; so I decided to give it a try. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made because Cashio Cycles meticulously maintained my bike until I sold it in JAN 2019. The owner (Paul Cashio) and his technician/mechanic son (Arthur) run a two man show and cater to race bikes, particularly drag bikes. However, they work and perform maintenance on all types of bikes from cruisers to dirt bikes to "crotch rockets". Cashio Cycles only uses Royal Purple oil, so if you want something else, bring it with you. Royal Purple makes an oil for any and all types of motorcycles, and it is especially effective in providing added protection and performance in high performance street and race bikes. I used Royal Purple in my bike for nearly a decade and had no complaints. The prices for service at Cashio Cycles are comparable to what you would pay at a motorcycle dealership; perhaps even a little less expensive. However, in my honest opinion, I feel that I received a lot more personalized attention that any dealer has ever given me. For all you racers out there, Mr. Paul has a dynamometer (dyno) so that you can get your bike custom tuned using the latest software. There are plenty of stretched Busas (Suzuki Hyabusas with elongated swingarms for racing) and ZX-14's (Kawasaki Ninja 1400 cc bikes) waiting to be serviced, so it's obvious that this place has a great reputation with the sports bike scene. All my experiences here over the past decade have been great. After every service, Mr. Cashio usually called me a week or so after the work had been completed to see how my bike was running. This is the kind of personalized customer service that made me a repeat customer. Quite recently, the shop moved to its new location at 1805 Engineers Road in Belle Chasse. The new location is much bigger and there's the added bonus of not having to cross the tunnel to get to the new location. There is currently no signage on the building; therefore, be mindful of the address. Also, be advised that the shop is now open during the afternoon / evening hours from 1 PM until 7 PM. Although these are not "traditional" work hours for a motorcycle shop, it seems to service his customers better. I recently made the decision to sell my motorcycle after having owned it for 17 years. Mr. Paul told me I could leave the bike at his shop so that it could be exposed to potential buyers. Low and behold, I got a call on 30 JAN 2019 from Mr. Paul who had arranged a cash sale for me. He even arranged for the title transfer at ABC Title for me. Although I sadly no longer have a bike, I have a friend in Paul & Arthur Cashio at Cashio Cycles, and if I ever get another bike, this is the only place I plan on bringing it to for any type of maintenance or repairs. I can't recommend them enough!

I believed I was purchasing the exact bike I had been searching for; turned out to be quite the project bike I didn't really want. I currently kind of feel stuck with a money pit of a motorcycle that Dave said was good, ready to go, and he would ride across the country as is... I soon learned to consider it unsafe in the condition it was and have found multiple roadside stranding type issues since purchasing. It has been stranded in my driveway more than once with, intially, an officially tested bad, failed battery and then a completely worn out starter motor. I was able to get it running again for a few hundred dollars in replacement parts, and a lot of work on my part. These are not the only problems I have been finding but the only ones that left the bike unable to start at all. I am hopefully only looking at around $2k to get it to where I think I can ride it to British Columbia and back, like I did on one of my former older in far from perfect type of shape BMW bikes. The point is I'm having to work and spend $ on this bike a lot more than I'm riding it when I was told it was good to go as is... Be very careful and know what you are doing or bring someone who does. I'm uncovering more and more issues with and cheap parts installed in this bike as I get work on the other potential problems, that I had voiced concerns about when I was buying it (that Dave said were normal charateristics for this type of motorcycle to have). #1 was slack in drivetrain - which may or may not need serious repair - some owners online have said they have lived with "the drive clunk" for many miles on their R1150 models - others have rebuilt shaft, bearings, and splines throughout the drivetrain to remedy, = $$$ Beware of vehicle purchases without clear mechanical certainty of what you are buying. Be thorough and don't let your excitement get the better of your judgement. Really inspect every detail when purchasing from here and don't take their word for it just because they are mechanics. I do like the bike and believe I can eventually fix all its issues I'm discovering but I probably won't be using Fx to do any more of the work on it. The repairs I did have done there were grossly underestimated, and I was charged 12hrs at $119.00/hr instead of the quoted 4-6hrs. Otherwise, Dave is very friendly and helpful, as is the woman working the front desk. Going by other reviews, maybe they are better with the scooters but I don't advise going there for BMW repairs/service.

TL;DR: Sold me the wrong size bike, dismissed my input, repeated mechanical issues never fixed,…read moretried to charge me for their mistakes, and treated me like a nuisance instead of a customer. I bought a $600 bike from this shop and told the owner at the time of purchase that I felt like I was leaning over dramatically towards the handlebars. Instead of helping me find the right size frame, he sold me the bike he had in stock and assured me it was fine. After a few months of riding, I developed constant neck, back, and wrist pain. The bike also had recurring mechanical problems. The tires rubbed against the frame or brakes, sometimes preventing the wheels from turning at all. Friends would help me adjust the seat or tires, but the fixes never lasted. When I brought it into Dashing, the owner dismissed my suggestions and insisted on making small incremental adjustments. This led to multiple trips back and wasted money on trips that never solved the issue. Including trips where I would call Dashing, ask the owner if I could bring my bike within the hour, arrive within the timeframe, and see a "Be back soon" sign on the door and wait indefinitely (usually another ~45 minutes) with fellow customers who'd appear until the owner returned annoyed. Estimates of when my bike would be ready were rarely honored. My bike was once in shop at the onset of beautiful weather (I missed a big social bike ride) for weeks longer than estimated. Getting in touch with someone on the phone despite leaving voicemails was impossible. I was later told by an employee that, "[They] don't really check voicemails." They also struggled with intra-staff communication between the three employees that I encountered. I would come in with an issue, tell it to the employee on duty who'd come up with what felt like a solution only to encounter at my next visit another uninformed employee who was not privvy to any of the reasons my bike was at the shop in the first place. The only helpful experience I had was with an employee named Rose, who actually listened, made on-the-spot adjustments, and checked with me before sending me home. Unfortunately, once I started riding again, the same wheel problem returned. Each time I brought it back, they would adjust spokes, but the issue kept happening. On my third visit, they even tried to charge me again for truing the tires, claiming my earlier adjustments to the stem plus my weight caused broken spokes. At that point, I told them to stop service and give me the bike back. What frustrated me most was not just the repeated mechanical issues but the dismissive, condescending way I was treated, especially by the owner and the other guy that works there. They never took responsibility for their poor service and acted like I was a nuisance or expecting free services instead of a loyal customer who had been shopping with them for years. On top of that, my bike would be returned to me with damage: the rubber that encases the break, split; the handlebar tape, loose; the cap on the handlebar, missing. There'd be no acknowledgement of the damage from Dashing. I would bring it to their attention only to be treated like it wasn't their problem. The current owner benefits from the community's assumption that the Dashing Bicycles on Sophie Wright Pl is owned by the same women that owned it under the same name, Dashing Bicycles, when it was on Broad St. Dashing Bicycles's current ownership (James, the face of it) does not uphold the same standard of care or accountability. I would not recommend buying a bike here.
