WOW, I can't say enough good things about Dirt Cheap. I seriously don't know how John does everything by himself, tires, parts, repairs, phones, orders, SDR signups, even stocking, and that UPS man is there every day with a load, John is truly motorcycling's Greatest one-man show. If you ever catch him alone he will talk with you about anything not just bikes, nuclear physics, chemical engineering, geopolitical events, the back stories you never hear about in the news, I learn something new every time I go there. But I've also been there when the parking lot is full, the customer lines are long and multiple phones are ringing; I know I just have to wait my time and he will get to me eventually and help me make the right decision on what parts I need and he almost always has those parts in stock, I came with a 12 item shopping list one day, 11 were in stock, he special ordered one part and it was there the Same Week, occasionally I even get a part the next day without having to pay next day shipping. Once he built me a complete wheel from scratch (hub, disc, spokes, rim, sprocket) and mounted and balanced my tire, Over Night! who else does this?
And I joined one of the most unique riding areas I've ever seen: A private 20,000 acre area of groomed motorcycle and quad trails that has campgrounds. John built this riding area practically single-handedly, it took him over a decade. He told me he built it for the kids, that they need a place to ride because so many places were being shut down.
I've noticed Dirt Cheap usually only receives 5 stars or 1 star ratings, and I can tell you why: If you are polite with John he never stops until everything is perfect, even though he is busy as hell. But if you are rude to him he gives you one warning, after that he asks the person to leave if they start a scene and I've even seen him ban A$$Holes.
I'll end by saying, John has never lied to me, I usually get parts from him cheaper than on the internet, except for tires (but he usually gives me a free mount and balance and a free old tire disposal, which usually more than makes up the price difference) and I've never seen So many parts in a parts store, you can't hardly walk in there!
John is always smiling and laughing, just smile back and he'll take great care of you!
But if you yell at him, he'll just move to the next customer, yell again and he'll tell you to leave. He is just Old School, he doesn't put up with crap. read more
