| Blacksmith Cycles has been in business in Sussex Borough since March of 2005, but how did we get where we are today? Owner Nick Pastore started out with a career as a New York City paramedic but always had a passion for all things mechanical....especially Harley Davidson motorcycles. Days off found him building bikes in his garage, keeping friends bikes running and working part time at local motorcycle shops. After 10 years service as a medic working mostly in Harlem and The South Bronx Nick decided it was time for a career change. He sold his house, packed up all his tools, and found a shop in an industrial area of Phoenix to call home (literally). While living in the shop (hey...having tools and a place to work on projects is more important than a traditional living space...isn't it?) he not only worked full time in a fabrication/machine shop building frames and suspension components, but more importantly he also attended the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. While at MMI Nick graduated top of his class receiving certification from Harley Davidson in the maintenance, repair, and tuning of all models offered by the Motor Company. Training included: Early Model (Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, and Shovelhead) Late model (Evo, Twin Cam, Fuel Injection, and Dyno Tuning) V-ROD Buell After returning from Phoenix Nick worked for a year at a New Jersey dealership where he further expanded his knowledge of the Motor Company's late model motorcycles as well as gaining familiarity with dealership operations regarding maintenance and repair. This brings us today. Before opening the doors we took stock of what other shops had to offer (including the dealership). What we found was that no one was offering a consistent combination of quality work for all types of Harley Davidsons (old and new) AND quality customer service. It is our priority to make sure that you never walk into our shop without being offered a friendly greeting and you never leave our shop without receiving quality work....at a fair price too!! Have a question? Ask away!! It's simple really....if you're a customer (or potential customer) who is going to support our business we are going to take the time to answer your questions. A motorcycle shop is a service oriented business and without quality service there is no business!! Thank You Nick Pastore Blacksmith Cycles |
