Hiring a motorcycle accident lawyer with a sensible yet aggressive approach is especially important in today's environment of motorcycle bias.

The Boston firm of Feinberg & Alban, P.C.

Nuts & Bolts...

Some of our bikes vibrate by design..  Others are so smooth you have a difficult time knowing that the engine is running.  What they all have in common is that parts are held together and held on our bikes with good old fashioned nuts and bolts.  We've been digging around for sources of stainless steel, chrome, high strength, and just plain 'normal' fasteners.
