Cycle Metrics

Gary is a great guy, and the best mechanic. Brought my vintage 78’ bike in again after 9 years for another overhaul. I wouldn’t take it to anyone else.

Gary Black is a master mechanic and he explains everything. I brought him my new to me 2010 Honda NT700VA and wanted the valves adjusted and a safety check. Gary noticed that my clutch cable was needing adjustment, something l didn’t even notice. Services completed included: valve adjustment, spark plug and air filter replacement, clutch cable adjustment and lubrication, oil & filter change, bled and replaced front and rear brake fluid, flushed and refilled cooling system, replaced final drive oil, wired top box brake light and some very arduous fabrication. I am extremely and totally impressed and satisfied with his work and I look forward to visiting him next time I need a mechanic. He’s the real deal. He cleaned my bike and polished the windscreen too. I can ride my motorcycle with confidence knowing that it’s safe and the maintenance is up to date.

My son just bought his first bike and we needed to get a number of things on it fixed, as well as stuff fixed that we simply did not know to fix (we are both new to bikes).

We picked Cycle Metrics because it was close to where we live.

We are very grateful we did. The owner, Gary, was so very helpful and kind to my son and me.

He fixed everything that needed to be fixed, tuned it up and sat us down to tell us some basics on maintenance.

Finally, he recommended to my son that he take the Oregon motorcycle class even though my son has a scooter. We hadn't considered it, but thanks to Gary, my son has decided to take the lesson before he starts riding. I support this decision and I am very grateful to Gary for it.

Gary is the man! By far one of the best motorcycle mechanics in the Portland Metro area, if not the state. He has always been friendly, honest, and straight forward. There are not a lot of shops that are willing to work on older dirt bikes 25+ years old but Gary has helped me with two older vintage bikes while other shops and dealerships have turned me away. Great guy, great service, and great experience!

I made an appointment for a tire change, then my tire got held up by a major storm. Gary had no problem rescheduling my appointment when it arrived.

I dropped my bike off in the morning for the new tires and had it back in the early afternoon. He noticed a couple mechanical issues with my clutch, and when I said I'd probably handle it myself he gave me recommendations on which brand to use.

While he was changing my tire, he also corrected a few minor errors a dealership made when reinstalling my hard bags.

While I just had my tire changed this time around, I would trust him to do more critical work that was outside of my abilities.

Also, Gary, you said I'd thank you about the kickstand, and yeah. It's night and day. It came that way so I never knew any better. So.... thank you.
