Practical Knowledge

Practical Knowledge is an off-road motorcycle service business focused on suspension setup and bike performance. Built on 40 years of racing experience, the business brings a racer-to-racer perspective to helping riders get their bikes suited to the track. Rather than relying on standard settings for the average rider, Practical Knowledge adjusts each suspension setup to reflect the individual’s ability and preferences.

Suspension is the primary area of work, with additional services including crankshaft rebuilding and other motorcycle rebuild work. The business has also worked on snowmobile suspension. Riders can discuss their specific needs by email, text, or phone.

Practical Knowledge attends PAMX races in central Pennsylvania and selected large national amateur events. Although trackside service is not offered while the owner is racing, riders can meet to discuss their needs and bike setup. The business operates from a primary shop near Tyrone, Pennsylvania, and a second shop near Elkland on some weekdays. Because the weekly schedule varies, customers are encouraged to get in touch before visiting.
