arlis77 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Hello fellow riders, I wanted to share my experience from shop called DC MOTOBIKEI was referred to him by a friend of mine who had work done from him, so I took the chance since I live in north olmsted ohio, Theres not many motorcycle shops located around me even for tire changes. Last year I had problems with my 94 cbr900rr and had carburetor problems one shop didnt even fix it right and had to back twice to fix it within a month..My first experience with David the owner of DC MotoBike said to bring it in, I dropped it off and he told me it would be ready the next day. I was shocked and sure enough fixed it and never had a issue again.Second time this year I brought my 04 cbr F4i and he mounted 2 new tires and did some cosmetic work done from when I dumped it. And again was shocked to see the results from this guy. It looked so clean and even buffed out the bike, and even check all the fluids for me and changed the antifreeze without me knowing it was old fluid and didnt charge me either.This is just my experience if anyone else has good or bad feedback I figured this could be a nice thread to share stories, This shop is fairly new I dont have a link but I tried to find it on facebook and ill post a link I hope it works I couldnt find a actual website..hope this helps some riders as this shop is closer to some of us. Link may not work? Look on facebook and type DC MOTOBIKEhttps://m.facebook.com/home.php?soft=side-area&__user=100002206944087#!/home.php?__user=100002206944087&soft=side-area Edited March 23, 2013 by arlis77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjettman Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Good to know. I have been staring at the blue edges on my tires all winter. Will have to look this dude up before track season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlis77 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I hear ya, Just from the years I've experienced of problems with prior bikes, I could never find a shop close by. This time I'm sticking with this shop, Its not a huge place, but his knowledge and work speaks for itself. I like the fact of knowing who's working on my motorcycle, not dropping it off and goes to a service department, and have no clue who's actually working on it.

arlis77 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Good to know. I have been staring at the blue edges on my tires all winter. Will have to look this dude up before track season starts.Hello, Just curious I'm not to familiar with your style of riding (track)...Though from what I've been reading seems pretty intense and sounds fun.. Do you have any advice ? Im not new to riding motorcycle's I've rode on and off for maybe 6 years I'd say but never track.. can you point me in the direction to get information ?Also you said you your starting to see blue edges on your tires? I take it those are track tires? Is the blue strip on the outside ? and indicate low tread I take it right? Sorry for the newb questions but I like learning from experienced riders.Thank you.

Again, we are talking about road courses when we say tracks typically. The bluing of the tires only means that the oil in the tire is coming to the surface. It can happen to any tires and it doesn't necessarily mean the tire is bad or needs to be replaced.If you want track day info, check out the track day forum here or better yet go to motoseries.com. You'll find most of your track day questions answered there. Or send a PM and we can talk offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjettman Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yup yup to the above. If you live in North Olmstead then Motoseries is probably the closest and easiest for you to get started on the track. They have a novice program where you will do some classes and then head out the track for some lead/follow with an instructor. Its a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it even if you never want to enter a race. Check out the motoseries website and it will tell you everything you need to know. They also have a message board like this one for any questions or just ask them here. Lots of people will be more than willing to help you get started.

Mary#17 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks for the write up. That's good to know. We go throw tires all to quickly so it's nice to know there's a place close to home to get them switched out. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
