    Dropped my bike off at Marietta Motorsports the last week in March. Spoke with them about an estimated time of completion early last week. They said it should be done early this week, but estimated No later than Wed/Thursday for completion to give a bit of wiggle room which is understandable.

    Guess I'm just trying to see if anyone has heard from them or know if they have closed for some event (Their online calendar shows nothing , and their website says they are open) because I called about 5 times yesterday (between 10:30 a.m. & 5:30 p.m.) with no answer and they haven't answered today either.

    Just trying to schedule time off from work to pick the bike up. Cant schedule time-off until I get a hold of them.
    I know they are closed on the weekends with T-Days, Wera, and Moto America this weekend.....


    Anyone heard from Huey or the crew lately?

    I know from their facebook posts that they are completely slammed with bikes. No other info that I have, sorry. Hopefully you can get an answer from them soon.

    Yeah...when I dropped the bike off I knew they were busy. I was ok with a 2 week turn around. They always are busy this time of year, but I don't think I know 1 business owner who would be upset about being over booked. ahhahaha

    Well. I know Huey takes it pretty personally when a customer is not happy and when business gets backed up, some one is going to be unhappy. I would imagine they are so focused on getting bikes done that the phones are getting neglected. This, of course, is just my observation from knowing Huey for a few years and represents nothing in the real world :D

    They are short at least one mechanic. Huey is desperately looking for someone qualified, and yes, he is upset about being overbooked.

    I wouldn't say I am unhappy, they do AWESOME work and typically great with communication, but trying to reach a shop on the day they say it would be completed with no call back is kind of frustrating.

    I messaged through their FB page and got some communication. Then it stopped. SO, I decided to try and call again. I got through! :)
    I will be picking the bike up in the morning.
    Signed up for Little Tally weekend (04/30 - 05/01), getting married next weekend, honeymoon, work, children, gym, and I still have some things to do to the bike, and some new parts to put on it at the house....so to hear that it is ready is great news. Gives me this weekend to do everything I need to do without being crunched for time!

    Hopefully, getting this out of their shop will open a slot for you SammPD4075! GL

    It was a perfect storm the last two weeks at MarMo. Staff was a bit lean, Hoooey getting ready to crew chief a MotoAmerica team, everybody bringing bikes in, AND an STT track event same weekend as MA at Road A. It should be better after this weekend - they will be getting down and dirty with non-stop wrenching!!!
