Title: Kinetic Playground gone?
Post by: Shorty on February 26, 2016, 12:47:03 AM
Went into Brookside Motors today to get a parts for my Bonneville. They are the Tulsa Guzzi/Triumph/Zero/Piaggio dealer. I assumed that my parts would show up The Kinetic Playground, Brookside's partner who handled their service and warranty work. They have moved to Okmulgee.  I was shown to the new service area in the back of the dealership....

I am wondering if anyone has dealt with this new set up, and how they liked it. With interesting new models coming from both Triumph and Guzzi, service is more important than ever.

 Hmm , Jandabuer's was the Triumph dealer in Tulsa in the 1960's , must be the same family . although there isn't any info re the old dealership . Since Tryg  left the Kinetic who knows what is going on with the shop . Guess dirt bikes are where the money is these days .

Well, if you do repairs, they provide a steady source of income - after all, the owners take 'em out and try to break them every weekend!  :evil:

I saw that tour as well in San Fran. Drove 120 miles each way to see them.

Saw them twice in the 70's at the Auditorium in Chicago. Starless and Bible Black and the Red tours. Both great shows.

At the Playground it must have been even earlier.

Jandebeur's had a Honda shop in  OKC in the 60s.  Maxey's was the only one after they closed.


Good luck to KP gius.  I hope that Brookside's can cover it.
