I moved last fall up to nevis Mn and was wondering if anyone has a mechanic they would trust to work on our bikes, they could recommend?

I guess that always depends on what you need done. Some dealers I wouldn't trust to touch mine ;)

It wouldnt have to be a dealer mechanic, just a dependable, trustworthy person, who has worked on our bikes before.

Nevis, home of the Tiger Muskie! Vacationed on Lake Belle Taine one summer. Sorry Patrick, the only guy that I could recommend is in Apple Valley.

we live on Lake Belltaine on the north side, if you find yourself up this way let me know.

What worked for me when I needed one was ask the folks I work with. You'll get a consensus after a while.

If you haven't tried that already.
