Description: I am providing Motorcycle Service & Repair (specializing in "Harley-Davidson") at a reasonable price. I am a Licenced "Journeyman" Technician with "Red Seal". I am an "MTO" Licenced "Motor Vehicle Inspection Station" I have over fifteen years experience at the Harley-Davidson Retail level, working my way up from entry-level Technician to Service Manager. I also have four-and-a-half years at the Canadian Harley-Davidson Distributor as a Service Manager. I started working on this project in October of 2007, and opened the doors of my Shop on the 1st of July 2008. Start-up Funding was provided jointly between a local Bank and local Community Development Corporation to the tune of $45,000 for Rent, Advertizing, Leasehold Improvements, Signage, Insurance, Tooling, Inventory, etc. I have brought in my own Inventory, Tooling and Vehicles to the tune of more than $50,000. Business was picking up fairly well until the winter weather closed in ... I didn't get as many winter projects as I'd hoped for!
