Dave,

MotoBritalia is the other dealer in town.  They carry Triumph, Enfield, 
Ducati, Moto Guzi, and Aprilia.  I've had my ST and a Ducati serviced there 
and have been pleased with their work.  Like anywhere else, the shop rates 
and parts seem high, but they are meticulous in their work.  MotoBritalia 
is currently located on Canton Rd. in Marietta, but they are building a new 
facility off Hwy 400 in Alpharetta and will be moving in the next couple 
of  months.
