Stranded on the Sierra BDR?

The unexpected can happen at every turn on the remote Sierra BDR. Mechanical issues, suspension problems, and other unexpected situations can leave you or your group needing assistance far from the nearest service location. As the only dedicated motorcycle shop in northern Mono County, Kyle at ES3 Suspension is available to discuss your situation and see if he can help get you and your group back on the route.

Kyle and Andrew,



This is Brian, the owner of the Aprilia Taureg who visited you to repair my shift lever. I just wanted to thank you again. You

 both were directly responsible for my trip continuing for another 6 days. Had I not found you I would have had to turn around and get the bike towed back home after completing only 1 day.



After leaving you both we rode to Bear Valley, then Kyburz, Tahoe City, Graeagle, Chester, and finally looped back to Mammoth finishing our ride. When we rolled into Kyburz we ran into a father and his two sons who were riding part of the BDR. They had already read our story about meeting you guys on the BDR Facebook page and were surprised to learn it was us. Your information is definitely circulating and story spread pretty quickly as they weren't the last to identify us along the way.



In the end, we covered about 1,020 miles Including the ride home on 395 from Chester. It was an extraordinary trip.



Thank you both again for your willingness to help out at a moments notice. The parts you fabricated took a beating for another 5 extraordinary days and held up the entire time without any issues.



All the best,


Brian



Here's the full group on our last night in Chester - also very grateful for your work and keeping us all riding together.
Brian
