We recently moved here and I'm still getting my bearings...

1. Any recommendations for good reputable motorcycle shops (I ride a Honda VLX-600) for maintenance?

2. Last time we road over to the Ballston Mall area I noticed that motorcycles were not allowed in the garage but then on the backside there was allowed motorcycle parking with a permit -- does anyone know how this works?

3. Are there any good motorcycle accessory stores in the area? I'm debating whether to replace the seat or get a local place to put more foam into the pillion seat (my wife's butt hurts after about 15min of riding on the current pillion) and wanted to find a local place that we could get an idea about the different seats out there.

I'm sure I'll have further questions as I think of them but if I could figure these out it will be a good start.

Thanks,
Jim

Colgan Powersports in Manassas has proven so far to be a very good shop for me. This is a new store but the family has been in Manassas for many years and are well known. (Related to Va State Senator Charles Colgan). They've done several jobs on my Yamaha Royal Star and I was satisfied. I used to use Coleman Powersports but grew very dissatisfied with them.
As far as accessories you can always do better with the on line sites then let Colgan install if need be. They've done this with me.
