TR3 down-DFW shop recommendations sought

[oracsol]

I slid on some road sand yesterday while making a turn and down I went. I'm looking for repair shop recommendations in the DFW area of Texas for my beloved TR3. Especially in the Plano area.
Many thanks

Sorry,

It is a roll of the dice. I have pros and cons on RPM and Euro. Haven't done business with the one in Plano.

Hi Oracsol.
Sorry to hear about your off and I hope you're OK.
European Cycle on Avenue K are pretty good, - I bought my R3 there in 2010 and have had a few things done by their Service Dept.

A couple of points:
A. The Service Dept. Manager is called Merrin (sp?). He can be a miserable so-and-so but is quite efficient.

B. The tech I have work on my bike is called George. He's Polish (I think) and is very honest, ethical and thorough. He knows the Rocket well, so try and have him do the work.

Hope this helps.

A few years ago Tony at EuroSport helped me out when I was riding an Adventurer. My brother also enjoyed a couple bikes from that shop (before he went H-D).

What webmaster said. EuroSport in Ft. Worth has treated us well. Tony (owner) is a good fellow and the service dept supervisor (Scott) is too.

Try them.

We trudge on.

I hate to meet and greet everyone under these circumstances but many thanks for the recommendations. I'll post progress once I hear from the insurance adjuster. As they say, any accident you can walk away from is a good accident. Even better when you can pick the bike up and drive it away.

What Bull said. That is why I won't ride without a motor guard.
