Cheshire Motorsports

If you want the best for your vintage Beemer, this is the place. They aren’t cheap, but the best never is. And after all, isn’t your baby worth it? I know my 75 R90s is!

The problem with public reviews are that the forum is a natural venue for people who will complain about the weather as if the TV weatherman was personally responsible for the rain. Not so natural for people who are completely satisfied customers. With that in mind, I hope you’ll weight this review accordingly.
After having been away from riding at any level for 30+ years, I re-​entered with zero connections, and 3000 miles geographically removed from the last place I rode a motorcycle. Not your «low maintenance» client by any stretch of the imagination.
Daric Cheshire, and everyone at Cheshire Motorsports answered my questions, helped me with every purchase even when it didn’t benefit their bottom line, and provided me with a level of service that exceeded any expectation I may have had.
You don’t get true craftsmanship at discount prices, and you won’t find discount prices at Cheshire Motorsports. You will however, find craftsmanship at every level.
If you’re reading recommendations here in order to decide who will build, or service your motorcycle please let this note serve as the highest recommendation I can give any business. Bear in mind that this recommendation comes from about as «high maintenance» a customer as Daric, and the crew at Cheshire Motorsports ever hope they see again.

I have got to say, I don’t know who paid these others to post their «5 star» comments, but they either were well paid or were smoking some hippie lettuce.
I brought my bike[with only 9k on the odometer] in for a simple yearly brake check, oil and plug change as Western BMW was booked. Well I received a lot more then what I bargained for. This being my first dealings with Daric Cheshire, I found he spoke a good talk, yet his disingenuous work ethics were anything but commendable.
I was essentially ripped off and when I noticed my bike did not perform all that well, I took it to another facility for a second opinion as Daric told me there was nothing wrong with my bike and insisted I did not know how to ride it properly. We had our disagreement as I have been riding since this Cinderella was still in his pampers sucking on his binky.
I took my old parts to another shop and was informed the parts I gave them to inspect were not from my bike and the electrical components were just fine with nothing wrong with them. So after a full inspection, it was determined my plugs were not new, but had simply been CLEANED and one was not gaped and appeared to have maybe been dropped [and the reason for the miss in my bike] as the gap was nearly CLOSED. Problem here, when I called Mr. Binky he told me I was wrong and so was the «factory trained technician» who serviced my bike.
Well not to argue with a binky toting Cinderella, I decided to simply move on and so I called a friend and we staged a breakdown by simply removing the contact in a used spark plug wire. So when my buddy was called by Daric and then his «service manager» with a laundry list of items that needed replaced we knew we had a professional scammer. He simply picked up his bike and in front of their shop door, replaced the spark plug wire and drove off.
I admire hard work, yet detest those who can not seem to do the right thing when no one is looking. Besides, NEVER trust a guy who looks like he just rolled out of bed when it’s 4:00 pm.

Just stopped by to check out the bikes in front of the shop, ended up getting good advice on some minor issues with my Ducati. Excellent customer service! And friendly too. I would recommend this place to anyone. If I actually lived in Oregon I would take my bike here.

Great shop to bring in your old BMW — very happy with the work and customer service. They got my ’72 R75/​5 running safely and smoothly after several years in storage. They love these old bikes and it shows! If you need some work done, this is the place to bring your BMW.

Good service, finally found a place that can work my older BMW F650GS that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. These guys were pretty booked out with it being riding season and all but once I brought my bike in for the appointment they finished it up quick. Seemed genuinely interested in saving me dough with simple quick fixes, no pressure no BS.

Took my ducati in with some big concerns, they relieved all that plus inform me of things i didn’t even know. Very legit guys. Highly recommend if you have a Euro bike.

I spent a whole pile of money on my BMW GS — but even on the small things Daric wanted to save me money. He gave me a great deal on my new tires, better than any web price I could find, and set me up smart. My blinkers were all banged up (it is a GS you know) and I asked them to replace them. The Cheshire boys took the blinkers apart to see if they could save me the price of the blinker stems. Jeff is always an asset and he made me welcome in the shop and was open to talking to me about the work he did.
The only thing better than having a bike you love is having a shop you can trust. It isn’t often I give anybody 5 stars, but this shop deserves it.

I want to give Daric 4 stars because his shop is all the way across town. Why can’t he be closer to me? Sadly though I just can’t do it. I can’t justify giving him anything less than 5 stars because he really is that good. I guess I just need to move into the SE.
Imagine picking up your bike and having the mechanic go over the paper work with you and say things like «i noticed this wire was loose so I put a new connector on for no charge and I replace some bolts that didn’t fit right»
Even if you ignore the fact that this guy does an amazing job, you can’t ignore that he is sincere. And that is the fifth star.
