Title: SF Gate: 2008 Best Motorcycle Shop in SF is...
Post by: Michael Moore on December 30, 2008, 08:21:02 AM
a scooter shop. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.  [evil])

Scuderia was second, and Desmoto was third. Well deserved and congrats to all. 8)

Ah, you noticed it on MV! I thought it was funny that a scooter shop beat out motorcycle shops for the best motorcycle shop award!  [laugh]

Well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad.    [cheeky]  How'd they make the determination?

A reader poll I think.

I'm sure you've had the Vino down to SF Scooter Centre, no? They're a great shop, and a classic case of people who love what they do taking care of their customers. I'm not sure of the exact order, but I think they got the top 3 right.

I haven't, though I'm pretty sure the Blonde has.  I've heard they're awesome (is it Barry?), but they're not a motorcycle shop.  I don't have scooter-hate, but srsly . . .  Someone shoulda told us about the poll.  Desmoto woulda been #1.

Yeah, it's Barry's shop. He's a good guy, and has gone the extra mile for me a couple of times.

As for it not being a motorcycle shop, yeah, technically it isn't. Of course the poll seems a bit screwed up as they also have a Motorcycle Service category, which has Munroe in it. Go figure.
