Little 'Enzo' Marcer, FFE, is showing Ferrari's latest design for crankshafts to Dad.

My name is Andy Marcer. I started Metric Motorcycles and ATV's because so many of my loyal customers, at various shops I worked at, would ask me why I don't open my own shop.  I also wanted to do things my way for a change.  My way consists of consdiering my customers' needs above that of the shop whenever possible.  Naturally I want to make money too. I would be a liar if I told you otherwise.

To the right, is Yuliya's (my gorgeous bride, and Julian's wonderful mother) new birthday present. She just loves this bike. So I will be doing some special prep on it. Check out the progress by clicking on the "Articles" link from this site's main menu.

I began working on motorcycles when I was thirteen (pulling them apart mostly).  It's only when I began putting them back together, a few years later, that I realized I was pretty good at this stuff.  I had a brief time with exotic Italian sports cars, but it wasn't where my heart was.  Soon I was back with the bikes.  Nothing quite came close to the excitement of motorcycles.  And that feeling is still with me twenty years later.  I never strayed again from what I love to do.

I graduated from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in 1989.  That training I hold in the highest regard.  MMI was a place where professionals taught me the basics and the engineering behind engines and motorcycles.  And with that you can repair anything.  After that nothing beats experience.
  I have worked on just about everything.  I have Motocrossed and Road Raced my own hand built super single motorcycles.  Along the way I developed a liking to four wheelers, or ATV's if you wish.  I love to work on them and enjoy mudding a great deal (don't like cleaning up though).
Here at Metric I believe the first step to quality work is the environment in which it takes place.  A neat, clean, and well-equipped workshop is essential.  No expense is spared equipping my shop with the best equipment available.  I take a lot of pride in my work and I think my reputation reflects that in this industry.  I take customer safety very seriously.  Rather than compromise on a safety related item, I'd rather not do it.  At the same time, every effort is made to see if I can provide a plan to help out my customers, whenever possible.  
At Metric I specialize in repairs.  I can get accessories at fair prices.  But I don't stock these items.  I carry parts to service and general wear parts only (i.e. tires, brakes, filters, etc).
Thank you to all my customers, and I hope if you are reading this you will become a customer too.
