This tour was a comfortable pace filled with local art and history of each space. The ability to ride through the city made us feel like a local even though my riding skills may have indicated otherwise. Thank you Steve for making us feel like a priority to you and your city. Would love to come and do this again.

First time renting a motorcycle from Eagle Rider. I flew into ORD Airport and noticed the sunny…read moreweather so decided to rent something a little more fun than a car. I used the Eagle Rider website to reserve the Harley motorcycle and picked the bike 30 minutes later. Employee Danny Brown had the Street Glide ready to go. Danny gave a good overview of all the bike features, helped me pair my phone with the Bluetooth stereo on the bike, and even provided some direction to get me to where I wanted to ride. I would highly recommend renting a motorcycle from him and will probably rent next time I am in town. Photo is of the bike while on a ride along Lake Michigan .

I have been a Member of Eagle Rider for a few years now. Originally I joined so that I could get…read morean idea of what type of motorcycle I enjoyed riding before I just went off and purchased one. I do a lot of research before I purchase large ticket items and I thought that by having a lot of different rental options I could narrow my new motorcycle purchase down. The reason I still have not purchased a motorcycle is that the service at my local Eagle Rider Facility has been exceptional. Danny Brown, the manager, has always been exceptional with his communication. If he can accommodate a last minute rental request he will do what he can to assist. If my first choice is not available he will work to get me something to ride. With that said all of the Eagle Rider Rentals are top quality newer model bikes. This along with the fact that I don't have to detail a bike or store a bike is why I keep coming back season after season. Thanks Danny for the great experience. Dirk Hoerr Oak Park, IL

And the occasional pop of a top from the on-board bar with snacks and drinks. And sometimes a sea shanty. And the tales of Lake Michigan piracy from Andy the Kidd, our fine narrator for the voyage! And the firing of a canon at the lighthouse. But other than that, very peaceful!

What a great idea a mobile bike repair/maintenance van circulating & servicing bikes that can come to your house and service your bike. I talked to Adam who was in the van working on someone's bike. He was super knowledgeable and provided a ton of information about the services they provide. The van was loaded w/bike parts needed to service bikes. I wish I knew about them 2 weeks ago as I just took my bike in for a complete tune up & got it back 09/10/20. If you want to schedule a repair or maintenance on your bike call 1(855) VELOFIX or go online @ www.velofix.com It's a great service to have especially now when all the bike shops seem to be booked w/a 10-14 day period to get your bike serviced FYI there is another Velofix truck that operates out of Arlington Heights.

I was intending to go to a bike shop closer to home, but as we were out in Hoffman we just happened to find this place. We stopped in with my tire and we were quickly and warmly greeted by someone who gave us a time estimate and started checking it out. While he worked we walked around their large bike shop and let our kid take some test drives. During this time the guy came to us a few times and showed me what was wrong and some of the debris that had been in the wheel. Also while here I found a much needed bike pump and got the employee's stamp of approval for it. It only took around 15 minutes and everything was set to go, and gave me some advice on how to avoid this in the future. While it's a bit far from home to make it my regular spot for bike maintenance I'm glad we found it and recommend it to anyone nearby.

They kept me informed as to the progress every month until it was finally delivered. They wouldnt take a deposit until they were sure of the date it was coming in the shop. I picked it up today and it was like meeting old friends whom i never met. Great financing opportunities, great selection of helmets and gloves. They went over the whole scooter in detail with me to make sure I was fully knowledgeable and comfortable. I was even given amazing taffy made by the owners wife. They have an incredible selection too! Bottom line, I felt comfortable with the entire sales process. They're AWESOME!

The 52,000 sq. ft Tudor style home has so many unique musical, one of a kind and ornate items that you really have to see to believe! We went on the tour yesterday and it was really enjoyable. They have so many historical Calliope's from Europe and US on the premises. Also many other items including Tiffany lamps, steam trains/engines, a perfume museum and a restored carousel in its own building that is really something to see! It's truly a fascinating tour and very tastefully done. They only collected the very best top of the line pieces for the collection. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
