Independent motorcycle service in Oroville, about 20 minutes from Gridley. Tune-ups, engine work, tires, brakes and custom bagger builds. Free estimates, straight answers.
From Gridley the shop is about 16 miles and 20 minutes away: East Gridley Road over to CA-70, then north into Oroville. Riders in Biggs are closer still.
Small jobs are welcome. A tire, a set of plugs, a leak you want a second opinion on. Nothing is too small to roll in with, and you hear what it really costs before a wrench turns.
Gridley sits on CA-99 in the flat middle of the valley. The Butte County Fairgrounds on East Hazel Street bring the whole county to town when the fair runs in late August, and the country around it is rice fields and orchards. That means long straight roads, slow farm equipment, and a lot of dust when harvest comes around.
Dust matters more than most riders think. A clogged air filter makes a big twin work harder for the same power, and fine grit ends up on belts, chains and brake pads. Summer adds heat on top of that. Oroville averages highs in the mid 90s in July, and an air-cooled V-twin sitting at a light on a day like that is running hot, which is exactly when old oil and low fluid levels cause trouble. A clean filter and fresh oil before the hottest months go a long way. The trip over is about 16 miles, East Gridley Road over to CA-70 and north into Oroville, and riders coming up from Biggs have an even shorter trip.
We also carry HardDrive and Dunlop, plus exclusive suspension components. If we do not have the part on the shelf, we will get it in.

More often than the baseline in the owner's manual if you spend time on dusty roads. Pull it and look. If it is caked, clean or replace it depending on the type, and ask if you are not sure which one you have.
Yes. Heat speeds up the chemistry inside a battery, so one that lives through hot summers here usually wears out sooner than it would in a mild climate. If the engine cranks slow, have the battery tested before it leaves you stuck.
Based on Montgomery St in Oroville, CA. Plenty of riders make the ride in from Durham, Berry Creek and Chico.
Distances are approximate. Further out than this? Give us a call and we'll sort it out.
