Quaker City Motorsports Has Moved

The dealership where I bought my Speedmaster in 2020, Quaker City MotoSports, has moved. It was formerly on Main St. in Manayunk, a section of Philadelphia (although the folks there don't like to admit it). They were literally on the banks of the Schuylkill River. The historic flood in 2021 caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida completely inundated the dealership when the river crested at about 18 feet. Water reached the second floor and wiped them out. They have moved about 1.5 miles away to higher ground in the town of Bala Cynwyd, a town settled by Welsh immigrants in the 1680s (pronounced "Bala Kinwood" - those crazy Welsh! Somebody sell them some vowels). Anyhow, the move is now complete, and they are set up in their new digs.

 

I haven't been there since the flood. I've just been following their progress on the interweb. I really don't have much reason to go there anyway. The Speedmaster's warranty has expired, and warranty work would be the only thing that would get me to go. Not that there's anything wrong with them. I had a good experience with my purchase and was treated well the couple times I returned, it's just that going through Philly is a pain in the ass, especially if I you have to trailer the bike over. And you have to traverse the whole city to get there.
fortunately, I found a local mac who specializes in Triumphs if there's something I can handle myself.
