From a friend: "I need contact info for a GOOD (carbureted) Vespa mechanic in SF for a friend who needs engine work."

(I don't live in SF, sorry. And this is a friend of a friend, so I don't know what the problem is, but *my* friend is a serious motorcycle mechanic, so I assume this is legit.)

Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

I met the owner of this shop as he was a lead mechanic at RockRidge Two Wheels in Oakland. He branched out to run his own shop in San Francisco. I've talked with him regarding reprogramming an ECU on my modern bike, and he referred me back to his old shop because he doesn't have that equipment yet. (This speaks volumes of his credibility) He is honest and a straight shooter. I give him high marks. He could probably get a junkyard bike running in just a few minutes. He has skills.

Contact Kent @

RockRidge TwoWheels in Oakland has top shelf skillset too..

just my 2 cents.

Thanks, HB, that is a good contact also. I will pass both along to my friend. I hope his friend has a successful end to his problem.
