Default Another One Goes Down

Don't know if anyone cares or not but Keith over @ TripleThreat Choppers is shutting down. I was talking to my neighbor about a problem he was having on his Road King and he told me about it.

Too bad too, Keith was one of the good guys in my book.

Now I have to go up to the Cycle Doctor in Costa Mesa.

I live in Oregon, but I hate to see any business go down. You are going to see more business's tumble.

All the small Mom and Pops are falling off. Triple Threat, Hi-Tone Choppers, Militia Cycles, etc. Of course more people are starting to do their own maintenance, But it does suck not to have a fall back mechanic for the bigger stuff.

Last time I was by there, it was shut up tight. But I have been working out of town a lot and with the Holidays and all rain we had, I haven't been that way in a few. Maybe I'll make the pilgrimage this weekend and maybe stop by Mugs Away for a cold one while I'm there!!!

Well, I finally had a chance to stop by and I am happy to report that Donnie @ Militia Cycles is still in business.
