Their name says it all: Reliable. Top tier craftsmanship and dependability. The only shop that I trust with my life and my family's life in the saddle. There is no shortcut to success; fortunately, there is Reliable Cycles. I am always thrilled to brag that when our bikes have "that Reliable Tune!" You need it done right, you need it done well, you need Reliability, you need Reliable Cycles.
Taylor is a great mechanic. Honest, thorough, meticulous, tenacious and extremely knowledgeable. I brought him a 51 year old Harley 125 enduro that wouldn't start. He diagnosed and fixed, in no particular order, electrical gremlins, fuel delivery, spark delivery, timing, and a host of carburation issues. He didn't stop until it was perfect. He sent videos of the work in progress describing the issues and eventual remedies, so his communication is also above and beyond. The bike starts on the 2nd kick stone cold, and pulls like a mule. I couldnt be more satisfied and can't recommend more highly.
I had the pleasure of working with Taylor at Reliable Cycles on my 1974 Honda CB360, which hadn't run in 40 years. Taylor meticulously went through every part of the bike, restoring it to a condition that rivals its original showroom state. He also upgraded it with modern features, including LED lights, a new electronic distributor, and an updated rectifier/charging system. The bike now runs beautifully and is a joy to ride. Taylor’s communication throughout the process was excellent—he sent regular updates via iMessage and email, including photos and videos. A huge thanks to Taylor and Candice for their outstanding work! I highly recommend Reliable Cycles for anyone with a vintage bike…
Taylor runs a great shop. He's as knowledgeable as they come, clearly loves and cares about what he's doing, and is communicative and transparent throughout the whole process. I brought him my 1970 2 stroke Kawasaki which had a laundry list of issues big and small. Taylor walked me through everything that was wrong, explained it all clearly, and sent lots of videos as he was fixing things, explaining what he was doing and why. The quality of work is excellent, and you'll not find a better place to fix up a vintage bike.
This guy is great!!! I found Taylor through a friend and brought my 1970 ct90 in for what I thought was just going to be a carb cleaning, but he discovered the previous owner had done some pretty janky stuff to the electrical and that the carb wasn’t actually an issue. It didn’t take long to realize he knows a ton about older bikes of all sizes and loves sharing his knowledge; I had zero problem leaving my bike at his shop and knew it was in good hands. Taylor did a great job of keeping me posted with texts and videos throughout the entire process, especially as additional issues kept surfacing (this bike had been through a lot before I got it.) He made sure I knew the pros and cons of each…
