On Wednesday June 27th I dropped off my 2008 GS at Arctic Adventures, in Rosendale NY, on the advice of other SL who had left reviews. I am happy to scream how right they were!!!!
Tom, Karen and Mary Ellen are top notch. They understand what it means to be in business. I was met with warmth and hospitality that I feel is getting rarer and rarer these days. I had informed them that it was no rush, because I would be heading on vacation in about 10 days. Three days later I received a call that it was DONE!!!
I needed the following work done: Rear Tire. Made it to 15,000 miles on the original which I feel is average.
Oil Change, Inspection, Brake system checked and error message cleared, parking brake adjusted.
I will not go into detail about the cost for all of this, because I was very satisfied with the total, it seemed fair and I am sure others have covered this in their reviews. Unfortunatley, Buck, the tech who did the work, was not there, so I could not shake his hand. But the 68 mile ride home was flawless.
Now for the fun stuff. I suffered a TBI in 2001. My short term memory lasts about four days, then the new information is gone. I use note taking as a way to combat this. But, picking up my GS without ever knowing what it was like to ride a Spyder was odd. I have ridden before my accident, but mainly dirt bikes, ATV's and street bikes. But I do remember everything from before the accident. That said, when my wonderful wife and I were about 15 minutes from AA, I realized I had left my riding boots home, lol! Lucky for me, Mary Ellen suggested going to The Dollar Tree down the road and I am now the proud owner of a $13 pair of ugly sneakers. I had a pair of Nike slides on which definatley would have flown off on the NYS Thruway, and which I never would have worn riding either.
Thankfully, I now have a place where I am confident any work being done will be done to the highest standards.
Thanks Arctic Adventures!!
