Pride Cycles & Power Sports

I love old motorcycles.
The only problem is when you have one ‘and a Japanese one at that’ no one, and I mean no one wants to work on them.
I am being totally honest here in every way possible.
I went to a place in Ybor and they had no idea what they were doing and admitted it when they gave my money back cause I knew more then them. Serious incompetence.
I went to another place that only decorated bikes.
Then I went to a place that charged me 70 dollars to remove a bolt.seriously.
I’d had it and was over it and thought everyone that touched a bike in this town was a dope.
I bought a vintage 1976 KZ 900 with a 1013 cc bored out engine and its stretched.
this could be the coolest bike ever in the history of bikes and I was in love.
considering its so old and its an old drag bike I knew it was only a matter of time before it needed work.
It broke down and I called some friends. Not only friends but friends that know everyone and have lived in this town their whole lives.
They picked me and my baby up with the trailer and brought me to Pride Cycles and introduced me to their friend Anthony. Anthony appreciated the fact I love old bikes and loves that time past as I do.
Anthony did not beat around the bush, he was honest, told me the truth, and took on this massive project with the idea of safety and dependability with this bike and me.
He assured me that at 100 miles an hour you don’t want maybes.
and he was right.
the guys at the shop are great. they really love what they do and made me feel so excited, as excited as they are to do the job that needs to be done. I mean all of them.
Good people, great work.
The amount of work was extensive. New everything. Just a little bit of an idea– new electrics, manifolds, carbs cleaned oil and filter, plugs, brakes, tires– I mean it goes on and on.
It was a lot of work, remember my bike is almost 40 years old.
For the amount of work that was done in the amount of time and along with the price, I have the most bad-​ass bike in town. You do get what you pay for.fact.
Its my dream bike and I’m so thankful.
Anthony and his team did this for me and I even consider him a friend now.
His wife is even a sweetheart.
So in turn, if you want it done and done right with PRIDE, I seriously suggest no matter what kind of bike you have, go to them.
You wont be disappointed. and you will feel safe even at 100 miles an hour.
A shout out to Shelby also ‘he works there’.
I personally will go no where else. I mean, come on, Its your life you’re playing with.
Thank you PRIDE CYCLES.
I added a pic of my bike for your enjoyment also,
I’m so happy and satisfied! and that’s rare. like the steaks you all complain about on this sight. :)
