Motorcycle shop at 2919 Central Ave, Minneapolis?

[fjr_elk]

In the mid 80s I took my KZ750 to a shop on Central Avenue in Minneapolis for a valve adjustment. I think they were a Kawasaki dealer and a couple of other brands, but for the life of me I can't remember what the place was called. I believe from seeing the building on Google Street View that the address was 2919 Central.

Can someone with a less porous memory than mine help me out?

I think I bought my 85 Honda Nighthawk S from them back in 1986. Can't
remember the guys name anymore. Too much beer has gone down the hatch since then

Don't remember name but he was a very big man. He showed me how to start it and walked away.  I learned very quickly motorcycles are not like bicycles... Came to the first corner and got off the bike and walked it around the corner, came to the second corner and I tippytoed it around the corner while straddling the bike. Thus my learning experience at motorcycling began

  Anyone remember Cyclesport on W.7th in St.Paul? That was Jack Schalley's place(founder of CRA)-He used to show racing movies in the winter. Also for real old times the Mn Historical Society site has pix of Karl's when it was a Hogly shop on 4th Av & Franklin(where 35W is now). Later when they sold tons of Euro bikes and the early Japanese stuff I used to bicycle there from St.Louis Park to hang out when I was a teen.GJ
