Vintage British Motorcycle Repair & Restoration

I inherited a 1967 Triumph TR6R from my younger brother in December of 2020. My review of the bikes road history made me believe that the last time the bike may have seen the road was 1982. So for the past 30 plus years it sat in the garage covered. But from the very first time I saw it I knew I wanted to restore it in honor of my brother. In search of who could make my vision come true, I came across VVC and the owner/mechanic Rob Staskel who specializes in English bikes. Reviews from past customers were glowing so I had to find out myself. Our first call was super, he let me talk about how I came upon the bike and my vision. He told me his thoughts about the bike which is when I really became aware that he was an authority on English bikes, past and present. As a result, I brought my bike to Rob for a physical assessment which solidified my trust in Rob as being the right person for the project. He was always upfront on every aspect of the job, be it the time line of getting ...

It's been about a year since I first met with Rob at Virginia Vintage Cycle and I could not be happier. I bought a '74 Triumph Bonneville-- all original, but needed some serious TLC. I heard of Rob through word of mouth and was told he was the guy I was looking for. When it comes to restoring vintage motorcycles, Rob's knowledge, honesty, and communication along every step of the restoration process was superb. He let me know what needed to be done for safety and clearly communicated to me what I could and should do for my bike now and in the future. I had a budget and even with the work that was necessary to get done, as opposed to what I wanted to have done, the numbers were exactly where I needed them to be. Finding a mechanic with his skill and honesty is a rare thing and I could not recommend him more highly.

Restoration and mechanical/electrical work on a ‘74 Norton 850 Commando motorcycle. Very reasonable pricing, good communication, great knowledge and resourceful/networked for sourcing parts, specialty work, and upgrades without sacrificing original look and feel of the bike. Extremely pleased with the work that was done, very high quality and craftsmanship, thorough, attention to detail, and delivered a motorcycle that is a pure joy to ride. Very patient and helpful during the process in answering questions, exploring options, and providing maintenance advice and tips upon delivery. I’d highly recommend to others. Overall Rob was just great to work with on this project.
