Section A · What we do

Services,
in plain terms.

Ten disciplines, one shop. From a carb re-jet to a full ground-up restoration, every bike on the lift gets the same attention. If it runs on gasoline, we probably work on it.

Specialty A

A genuine
Vespa shop.

Modern and vintage Vespa. Italian scooters. Two-strokes and four. Lambretta, Stella, Genuine, Piaggio — we work on all of them.

If you have a scooter that nobody else seems to want to touch, you’re probably looking for us.

Specialty B

Custom work,
one bike at a time.

Custom builds, engine work, and performance upgrades. Honda CB teardowns. Triumph scramblers. Race-prep Yamahas. Oddball projects welcome.

Bring us a napkin sketch or a half-running parts bike. We’ll start there.

▲ Heads up

We only work on
gas-powered bikes.

We do not service e-bikes or electric scooters. It’s a different trade, different parts, and different tools — we’d rather point you to someone who specializes in it.

What we do work on: motorcycles, mopeds, and gas scooters — Japanese, Italian, or otherwise. Vintage and modern. Two-stroke and four.
