Default Anyone trustworthy shops to check out MV Frame and Forks in Upstate/Rochester?

My 2001 MV Agusta was damaged (pretty badly) when it was being trailered and the trailer hit black ice and jacknifed into a guardrail. It lost the fight with the harley inside the enclosed trailer.

I was moving from the St. Louis area to Rochester, NY. Unfortunately, western NY has very little sportbike presence, and essentially no Italian bike presence. There are no MV dealers at all, and the nearest Ducati dealer is about 100 miles away.

I'm concerned about frame tweaks, and I'm pretty sure the forks are bent. I was hoping to find a chassis expert, but so far no luck.

Does anyone know of anyone in the western/upstate region who could assess what kind of damage has occured?

(for those of you not familiar with NY State, NYC is about 350 miles from rochester, and cities like Pittsburg and Toronto are actually much closer than NYC.)

Dave

dave - It suckes to hear that your MV got tossed that way, but that's not a bike to screw around with. You need to haul it to computrack or a similiar shop - even though it's a long haul.
