Unhappy Looking for a good mechanic in Tallahassee Florida

I just moved up to Tallahasse, Florida and my 84' shovel crapped out on me. I'm a grad student at FSU and honestly don't have the time to start taking things apart to figure out what's wrong. The bike was my dad's who passed away about a year ago, and so I'm not ready to give her away yet. I'm looking for a good, honest mechanic that is capable, and willing to work on an old shovel. If there are any good mechanics in here, or if you know of any in the Tallahassee area, please let me know. Thanks!

-Ed

Tallahassee Motorcycle Works. It's on Hannon Mill Road on the south side of town. Mark is usually a pretty gruff guy, but he's a hell of a wrench. He's a one man show, so if he's busy, things might take a little while.

He's closed Sunday and Monday. 850-877-6772
