That I understand they have mechanics on staff full time and when a specialty bike comes in they call those members that know how to work on them. They took care of my Guzzi and seem to be pretty competent. Mostly guys in their late 30's/mid 40's that I've seen. They have bikes in there that are very race oriented and probably run on track days at Miller Motorsports park or whatever it's called now. Numerous Ducs, some Beemers etc. sitting around.
GO asks "What was your pull vehicle?"

Full size pickup. 32 Valve V8. Truck doesn't even know trailer/bike is back there.

However, as light as that set-up is you could pull it with a small SUV/sedan no problem.

I think we still have a thread going about trailering a bike and tie down points and so forth. So, I loaded the bike into a small 5X8 trailer I picked up from a friend.



The ramp I picked up at Harbor Freight. I never buy anything mechanical/electrical from them but I will buy things like this. The load rating is for 1,100 pounds. However, when I rolled the CB on it for the first time there was some (in my estimation) significant flex. Afterwards I noticed a few heads off pop rivets laying on the ground.



So I fixed that:



Then I REALLY fixed it by bolting 3 boxed IRON rails underneath. Heavy as heck now but pretty solid.



Inside the trailer is a removable chock with 2X6's bolted to it to give it a wider stance for increased stability. Tie downs are anchored into metal sub frame of trailer. I move the chock between my trailers depending on what my needs are at the time.



Dropped the CB off for new plugs, valve adjustment as required , rear brake pad replacement and brake fluid flush. estimated at $600.

Middle aged Shop tech rolled bike inside the store, on the main floor and said "Never seen one of these before, this is a looker, going right in the place of honor in the middle"

Better shots of bikes they had in there from last time:











Also dropped K&H seat off at upholstery shop and waiting for them to call back on what repair costs will be on the seam that's separating.
