The Spare Parts is a full-service motorcycle shop in Philadelphia specializing in European motorcycle marques, including Moto Guzzi, BMW, Laverda, MZ, Triumph, and Ducati, but also servicing all bikes from Aermacchi to Zundapp. With unmatched expertise and attention to detail, the shop offers a wide range of services, from seasonal refreshers to rebuilds, along with quality accessories, maintenance parts, and gear that have proven their worth over time.

Founded in the late '70s by traveling musician and sport-touring fanatic Franz Nachod, the shop is now run by Roland Sotello, who continues to provide personal attention to every detail and a less-than-intimidating service environment. The Spare Parts crew takes pride in extending the same love and attention to customers' bikes as they do their own, building lasting relationships with clients who often become friends.
