have not seen the entire inventory, so can't advise positively ... suggest you give them a call to find out.  moe is pretty cool, and should be able to advise what they have in stock at present.

a presto,

I got their flyer in the mail yesterday too.  I'll try to swing by.

Do you know if they are keeping their service business in Milpitas or is that moving too?  I've got a buddy at work who may come join the festivities, but needs to get some work done on his bike as well.

Please gang -- if you have an event or ride, post up in the calendar thread and it'll get added.  I can't do all the legwork.

I hope to attend if I can.  I'm curious if Jim Davis will be there to discuss service issues.

Gotta remember to go to Fremont and not Milpitas.

jim, josh and mike all still work out of the milpitas location, where nichols sportbike service is still located.

the fremont location is the scooter shop, nichols motor sports.

From what I gathered from their site, you can drop off your bike/scooter at either location.

I was looking at their catalog and noticed they're selling 2-stroke scooters... is that possible? i thought street 2-strokes were illegal in CA.. ??

being that i'm officially unemployed i might as well swing by and get some free food n what not..

lol!

If the engine is less than 50cc's it's still okay.  The Aprilia SR-50 scooter is a 2-stroke and pretty cool looking for a scooter.  But it feels awfully weak if you ride one after getting off of a Ducati.

riding ANY aprilia feels weak after riding a duc.
