That\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>But what if there were motorcycle shops that had a bunch of motorcycles, motorcycle parts and motorcycle gear \u2014 but they also had a little somethin\u2019 extra? Something beyond just the usual motorcycle stuff? Wouldn\u2019t that be an even better thing? I believe I just heard you say \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, in the general vicinity of Motorcycle Mojo\u2019s Practically Secret West Coast Research and Development Laboratory (MMPSWCRDL, which just rolls off the tongue\u2026) there are such shops. And the proprietors of such shops will actually allow me to enter the premises, and will occasionally talk to me. And so I\u2019m going to write about them.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibit A is Class6cycles in North Vancouver (class6cycles.com). Owner Colin Yarrow only works on older, carbureted bikes. The oldest bike he\u2019s worked on in his shop was a \u201938 Harley-Davidson, so he definitely knows his vintage stuff. He does maintenance, repairs and restorations on anything old, no matter the brand. When I visited he had a \u201970 Triumph 650 chopper that had last been ridden in 2013, a \u201962 BSA Super Rocket, \u201982 Honda CB900, an XS650, and even an old Yamaha XS1100 with an original Vetter Windjammer fairing, all in for various types of work. Everything from \u201cjust get it running\u201d to restoration work. The BSA in particular has a bit of an interesting story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This Project Needed a Kick Start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-59077\" src=\"https:\/\/motorcyclemojo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSC_0710-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\">The BSA was to be a father\/son project. Apparently, the dad had run one back in the day, while living in England, and had always wanted another. Once the son grew up, in Vancouver, they decided to find one in decent condition so dad would teach his son how to restore and work on it. They went all the way to England to get this one and bring the BSA back. Sadly, before the work could be done and knowledge could be passed along between the generations, the father passed away. Now, the son asked Colin to do the work that his father didn\u2019t get the chance to complete. \u201cIt is a sad story\u201d says Colin, \u201cbut I\u2019m glad that I can do the work so that he can enjoy it and keep the memory of his dad going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And as if that isn\u2019t enough to make his shop interesting, Colin also has a mini museum of interesting bikes that anyone&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes a cool place to chill while on a ride is all you need.
