That link was to my shop!
I am an owner and the parts manager.
these guys are audio/video people and know enough to know what they don't know! (hard to find, these days)

Thanks for spreading the word guys!

Very cool story, I have my Dad's bike in the garage. I would love to restore and give it to him, but he has passed on so I can't.

The only thing I can not figure out is why they would transport it on a trailer in the snow. The brand new reconditioned bike get full of road salt. Makes no sense to me.

Exellent. Nice to see some of the old British iron is still being looked after.

I have fond memories of my 750 Bonneville and 500 Daytona, both of which changed their own oil out of the primery chain case and gave me a waterproof left boot. Those were the days!!.

The floors are actually epoxy grey as originally coated, we used the "garage floor coating" sold by Lowes/Home Depot and it survives pretty well, cleans up quite quickly. Everything else is white, so the reflections in pix seem very white.

It does get coated with oil regularly, as most of the britbikes tend to mark their territory, even temporarily!

Most of the pictures on the Website were taken in the few months after we opened, this November we will begin our third year of operation. Not too bad for three part-timers.

Your crew did a great job, Nick. What a story.
