Stopped by Beaverton Honda/Yamaha/et al yesterday, and pulled in next to 3 other Spyders - all fully Farkled, and none that I'd ever seen before !! Then I heard that my only choice for Spyder service - Cycle Sports of Salem is closing its doors !! Anyone else have any facts about this?? That would only leave S&K on the West side of the Cascades, and I wouldn't let them wash my wheels.

If this rumor is true (I'll call them on Tuesday), I'm going to start working with the "Wingman" to become a certified shop - they do all the work on my Valk, and have for years….

Carlo - losing Cycle Sports - without a reasonable alternative for service - will make me seriously consider jumping over to a Hardley….
