    Drake - Will we be able to make appointments for service? I live in West LA, and would like to get it done in a single trip. Temecula's a long way from here, however I'm willing to make the drive to make sure my bikes are setup right

    I am wanting to do just that, but need to set up a way in which parties reserving time for appointments are true shows.I have yet to have a problem however doing business you better be prepared for worse case scenario.I think this would be a killer thing, trust me, I drive miles for the things I want done right.If not done right then your doing it again, whats the point when you have spent twice the money and twice the time.

    You can always combine a trip to Drake's with a trip up to Idyllwild. That way you can test ride the work asap

    There is also a great French restaurant up here and i know you are a sucker for good food:)
