    Witch City Cycles for work on a crotch rocket?

    I just got my first bike and I'm looking for a place to send my bike for work and I don't really know anyone. Witch City Cycles is near me and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with them?

    The fact you referred to your bike as a crotch rocket makes me want to punch you in the crotch rocket.

    Re: witch city cycles for work on a crotch rocket?

    my ignorance is great in terms of the motorcycle world, i dont know anyone who rides or anything. ive always wanted to so i'm just trying to learn everything on my own as i go. haha

    pigman - again, my ignorance is great. harley shops only work on harleys?

    pittenger - sports bike then? what am i supposed to call it that wont make me sound like such a n00b?

    gingahninjah - a lot. haha chain and sprocket, rear tire (i think?), front and rear brakes, and its having some sort of electrical issue related to starting/charging the battery (not really sure). and i just bought it and idk anything about bikes so i think i should get all the fluids changed and everything looked over just to make sure everything is working properly.

    Motorcycle, bike, whatever. Crotch rocket is just the term old uppity harley riders call sportbikes and it pisses me the fuck off.

    Re: witch city cycles for work on a crotch rocket?

    pigman - i did actually get a quote from them. they said that it'd cost 1700 at the minimum and it could potentially go up. thats almost what i spent to buy the actual bike, so i was like uhh, let me get back to you. haha

    pittenger - haha ok sportsbike it is from now on

    I wouldn't waste your money at a shop for that stuff (though supporting good local shops is important). Grab some beers and I'm sure someone on here would be more than willing to show you the ropes on general maintenance. Everything but diagnosing the starting issue is stuff you'll want to learn to do any way.

    Re: witch city cycles for work on a crotch rocket?

    id definitely offer tons of booze and pizza for anyone willing to take the time to teach me! one of the other guys offered but he lives over an hr away from me, and riding that far out when im not really sure of the condition of my bike worries me.
