Never a more honest shop. $1000 Work I thought had to be done turned out to be a $50.00 part. Friendly, honest and they take pride in what they do. Only shop I know that asked me to stay just so they could show me how beautiful the crank and bearings were in place. Take a tour of the restored classics they have and ick through parts bins for rare parts. I ride 60 extra miles just to have them do the work I cant. more

I used to work at bud's years ago. Bud used to run repos for harley davidson. Until he was terminated for stealing chrome off the repos before transporting them to auction. As far as I know he never did admit to it. I know it is true because I saw it done several times. more

Great shop and great prices!! 12/13/2011

by Adam K at Insider Pages Provided by Insider Pages

I just moved into the Austin area from Las Vegas and from me runs up to Sturgis i remembered this guy named Bud from Austin. He had a booth at every rally and from the shops and people i conversed with he came highly recommended. The first time i walked into the showroom they were very busy and when i had a question they helped me with every detail. The staff is very knowledgeable and can find or will find anything you need for you cycle. It is for sure not a "Box" store like the dealerships and the prices are great! I have two cycles and take them both to them for every mod. or tune-up. I am a die hard customer and will recommend them to any and every person i meet. more

"Sounded to good to be true" 8/6/2010

by Steven N at Insider Pages Provided by Insider Pages

Watch out with this Motorcycle shop. I purchased a $650.00 HD Radio was told it was brand new over the phone and i purchased 2ea speakers also. I received 1 package with only a Radio in it. The radio was not wrapped for protection and didnt even come in its own box just a bare radio thrown into a box and taped. Looked like radio was installed previously to me buying it also no manuals. I never received the speakers. They give no gaurantee or warranty shaddy very shaddy i was told after calling back their exact quote "IT IS WHAT IT IS". Sometimes saving a buck isn't worth it i should have spent the extra and had a full warranty. more

Busy but knowledgeable Harley shop 11/8/2007

by jeffro61 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

First time I went in without my bike the place was really busy and I felt ignored. One I brought in my bike they gave me more attention. These guys really seem to know their stuff, but if you don't ride a Harley or custom they may snub you. With persistance though you will get what you need and once they get to know you and your bike they treat you well. Pros: Knowledgeable, lots of used parts Cons: Harley snobs at first, busy more

Great Shop and people who actually know what they are doing! 4/10/2007

by mulkstar at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

You may not want to eat off the floors like some other shops around town but these guys are good. I was extremely impressed when the tech called me after seeing ""jet carb"" on my ticket and wanted to know exactly what i expected him to do. We talked for several minutes about all the possibilities and what my expectations were and what performance, mileage, etc. I was currently getting before adding performance parts i had now. Wow! You mean you don't just want to stick it on and take my money? He then gave me to expectations that if we didn't' meet we failed and needed to try again. He also set my expectations properly by letting me know we may not get it right the 1st time but he would work with me until we did. Well, here's to you Bud and your crew! I'll be back and I'll bring friends! Pros: They have everything and anything for your bike! Cons: Parking more

THE Man's Store! 11/26/2005

by Albert W at Insider Pages Provided by Insider Pages

Wonderful selection of diffent bikes, mostly new. Have gone in a few times for parts and they always had what I was looking for. Awesome accessories selection as well as clothing (jackets, T-shirts, hats and more). Even my wife loves going in with me. The staff is very knowlegeable about the bikes they sell so it makes for a great experience. more
