I once read that often people see their mechanic as someone standing across from them with their bike in the middle...but it’s not something between us. We are standing side by side, and the bike is a problem that we have to approach together.”Some, if not a lot, of the work other than fabrication and cosmetic changes are invisible to the customer and a lot of that work, especially on vintage bikes, is research and computer time.Over the past couple of years working with Brandon and Ryan at Rawhide, I never once felt like we were standing on opposite sides. Their passion for motorcycles was evident when I first met them. I recognize and respect their expertise and they have certainly delivered in every step of the process in my rebuild.
I needed a tire mounted on my CB1100 while 1000 miles from home. After visiting half a dozen shops, who basically told me to go pound sand, I ran across Rawhide Cycles. Brandon kindly offered to mount my tire while I went to lunch. Im glad to see that there are still small independent shops that care about those of us who ride.While waiting I got to see some of the amazing restoration work that this shop has done. Absolutely, amazing. As a UJM fan ( I also own a CB750) Id have no hesitation to put my baby into Brandons hands. There arent very many high quality independent shops like this left.
Brandon is a genius! The best vintage honda mechanic in the country no doubt. He is very honest with what needs to be done with your bike, and what it is going to cost to do it right. Just look at some of the bikes he has built and restored. His work speaks the truth. The only guy I would trust with my old bikes. I ship them up to him from Los Angeles, That is how much I appreciate his work, I will pay extra for shipping any day.
Just took my bike in for an assessment. Immaculate shop, impressed on. My first visit. More to come.
Great vintage mechanic. He has a real enthusiasm for old bikes and it shows not only in his stellar mechanic work, but also in his efforts to get others equally enthused.
Not only is Brandon an awesome mechanic, hes an awesome person! He did an amazing job on my Superhawk, wouldnt trust anyone else!
Brandon is a very nice guy and meticulous craftsman
