This is the place to take your bike if you are looking for an individual that is customer service oriented, honest, and knowledgable.
What led me to Billy's shop? Recommendations from others of course, and a problem with my bike.
Let me set it up for you.
Sunday-Riding to Tracy for a stunt show, about ten miles out of Tracy my handlebars fell over to the left, and my bike felt as though the handlebars were locked. Comparable to driving a car with power steering and the power steering fails in the midst of your Sunday drive.
Neeldess to say, after all of the issues I had with the front end of the bike as a result of Riverfront repairing the bike incorrectly I pulled off the interstate, and had somebody else ride my bike home for me...I rode theirs. The person that rode my bike agreed..."Wow. It took all of my muscle to get your bike around corners. Something is wrong."
I took Monday off, and rode the bike over to Billy's shop. Not only did he ride it twice, but he did a ton of adjustments to include tightening a couple of loose parts that were not tightened during the previous repair, calibrating the rear tire, etc. This took a little over two hours, and he didn't charge me! He also offered to throw my bike on his dyno when I brought it back for free!
He was busy, so he couldn't tear the front end down, but I am bringing it back to him next week to do some further investigative work on why the steering is so tight now. (I can ride it, just different and difficult).
The atmosphere is great! Small shop, good people, good conversation. His father was there, and he was very personable, and knowledgeable. Loves to talk, and I loved listening to what he had to say.
I will recommend this shop to everybody! read more
