Find a Shop That's Open Now, and Hear Back From the Ones You Review

Find the Right Shop, Right When You Need It

Every rider has been there. Something sounds wrong on the way home, a tire is closer to the cords than you'd like, or the bike just needs its oil changed before Saturday's ride. You need a shop, and you need to know if they're open.

The D76 Shops directory was built for exactly that, and today it gets a lot more useful for riders and for the shops that keep us rolling.

Open Now, On the Shop's Own Clock

Every shop in the directory now shows whether it's open right now, and when it opens or closes next: "Open now · until 6:00 PM" or "Closed · opens Tue 9:00 AM". The time is worked out on the shop's local clock, so a shop in another time zone reads right wherever you're browsing from, and late hours that run past midnight count on the night they start.

Need someone today? Switch on the Open now filter and the list shows only the shops that are open. On a shop's page, today's hours are marked so you don't have to hunt for them.

Search By What They Do

Search used to match a shop's name. Now it matches what a shop specializes in too. Looking for a dyno tune, a particular brand, or someone who knows vintage bikes? Search for it and the shops that do it come up.

More on Every Shop Page

  • Rides and events the shop backs. When a shop sponsors a ride or hosts an event, it now shows right on their page, so following a shop actually brings their rides to you.
  • Ride Training courses they teach. Shops that teach on Ride Training now show their published courses on their page.
  • Shops by state. New "Motorcycle shops in [state]" pages list every shop in a state, so riders who are new to an area, or riding through one, can find help fast.

For Shop Owners: Answer Your Reviews

If you own a listed shop, you can now reply publicly to riders' reviews. Thank the rider who loved the work, or explain what happened when something went sideways. The rider gets a notification when you answer.

Two rules keep reviews honest for everyone:

  • A business can't review its own shop. Owners reply instead.
  • If a rider changes their review, your old reply comes off, so a reply never answers words the rider has taken back.

Not listed yet? Add your shop from the Shops directory, and if you'd like to put your name on a course, apply to teach on Ride Training.

Built for Riders, Web and App

All of this works on the website now and is built into the D76 app, which is on its way. Your rides, your roads, your shops, all in one place.

Ride what you ride. Rep who you rep. Respect everyone. And when the bike needs some love, find the shop that's open.
