ome of us love old bike shops. Simple and not
flashy. Like the old bikes we ride. And they should sell candles of the smell, old machines in traditional bike shop. But they can’t sell the experience and skill of the bikers who run old shops.
Vince Cason has run Vince’s Good As Gold Expert Harley Repairs & Parts in in the same place in Statesville, NC, for 20 years. You know where he is, south of town at 1715 Shelton Avenue which is Highway 21. The place with the old Harleys on the sign and mailbox.
Years of experience working on all kinds of Harleys is why folks go to Vince. He has been working on Harleys since 1974 as a certified and trained mechanic.
“I was certified when you had to be a mechanic to be factory certified,” Vince said. “You had to be a mechanic and sent to the factory by a dealer. I went to update schools a couple times.”
Vince can service and repair all your Harley-Davidson motorcycles from the oldest to the newest. And these days, not all shops can do that. Some bike shops don’t have experience with older Harleys.
