Ricks Cycle and Accessories

Great group of people, helped us out of a serious jam. If I hit the mega millions I told them I'd cut them in on it for the same day fix on my brother's gas line for his road glide.

Because the dealer shops are all closed, the worst time to have a motorcycle breakdown during a trip far from home is on a Monday. Well, it is unless you call Rick. I had just left the hotel to head out on a 6 hour ride back home when I heard a chirping/squeaking sound from the front wheel and felt it through the handlebars. Classic symptoms of a bad wheel bearing. Pulled off at the next exit. Tried to rent a u-haul truck and trailer to haul the bike back home with no luck. Nothing available anywhere nearby. Searched for "motorcycle shops" in Google Maps and started calling. Rick's wasn't the closest on the list, but he was the first one to answer. Told him what my issue was and turns out he had the correct bearings in stock and could send a truck and trailer to get my bike back to his shop. Gary came and got me, he and Rick replaced the bearings (one of which was totally trashed and could have killed me if I had continued to ride on it), and they got me back on the road quicker than I would have thought possible. Can't say enough good things about these guys. Really nice guys and literally went out of their way to help me. They turned what could have been a trip ruining, time consuming, expensive disaster into a minor glitch in an otherwise beautiful 3 day weekend ride. All for less than half the cost of what the u-haul truck and trailer would have been. They're not just a repair shop, either. They sell lots of cool leather goods, apparel, and accessories too. So if you need motorcycle repair and you're anywhere around Whittier, NC, just skip the other guys in the list and call Rick's Cycle first.

We stopped for gas and I spotted a screw in one of our tires. They were able to plug it right up and keep us riding!

Had the guys at Rick's put my new 14 inch Ape Hangers on my Heritage Classic 114 in December 2021. They done an excellent job on my bike and have given great customer service each and every time I visit the shop!

Awesome shop. Very down to earth and friendly staff. Will be doing business there again. Big thanks
