Once installed back on my CB900 it started immediately and I didn't even have to adjust the idle speed!!! Runs perfect! It was a pleasure doing business with Bruno and due to his super knowledge, friendly-professional attitude, and very fair & reasonable prices, I will definitely be doing business with him again! I can not say enough good things... If you are looking for a great and reliable shop for your bike, I highly recommend him for any work on your classic cycle.

Don't even know where to start - Bruno is the nicest, most approachable mechanic I've ever met. I…read morebought my first bike, an old 1971 Suzuki TS185, and I knew that with vintage motorcycles I was going to have a learn a few things to keep it in good shape. Once I was at my wits end, I looked around and heard that most motorcycle repair shops hate working on old bikes and if they do, they charge you an arm and a leg. I stumbled across Bruno's page on Yelp and thought I would give him a ring. He helped me troubleshoot a few things over the phone and once we got to the point of exhausting my own capabilities, he graciously offered to take a look. His expert perspective made all the difference and I just seriously cannot say enough about how much I appreciated his willingness to help.

Highly recommend Empire Cycle. My Honda Shadow had been sitting in my garage without a tune up for…read more2 years. It sounded horrible when we started it & it wasn't driving the same. We brought it into Empire & they did a bang up job. Bike now runs so smoothly, feels like it's brand new. I will say, this is a BUSY place! Take that as a good sign. There is a reason for that. The prices here are reasonable and the service is personal. The shop has a small town feel & they repair all types of bikes, new and old. I was really happy with the repairs they made, the cost & the service. I also love that they line up the bikes that are ready to be picked up on the main street in Loretto. Such a cool shop with a great vibe, definitely check them out if you need bike repairs.

I had an extremely negative experience with Blue Cat Motorcycle and would strongly not recommend…read morethem. I brought my Harley Davidson motorcycle in for what turned out to be a simple issue -- replacing two manifold intake seals. The owner charged me $240 for a diagnosis that took just a few minutes, without any clear explanation or written estimate. He then charged $868 for the repair, which should have taken about two hours but I was billed for four. When I asked if the $868 was the total, he said yes -- but then added the $240 diagnostic fee at the end, bringing the total to $1,108. After I got the bike back, a new issue appeared: the engine light came on, which hadn't been a problem before. I brought it back, and instead of addressing the concern professionally, the owner became aggressive and started yelling at me. I ended up taking the bike to another shop and had to pay additional money to fix the new problem caused during the first repair. This experience was unprofessional, overpriced, and incredibly stressful. I would never recommend anyone use them.
