Default They Call Me the Professor...

First I would like to introduce my self my name is Steve and I work for my families Motorcycle business and we sell Honda, BMW, Triumph, and E-Ton. I used to post at the newly formed Honda-motorcycles.org Forum but it went down. I have worked in this industry all my life and I LOVE MOTORCYCLES and WATERCRAFT. Over on the Honda forum some of the Admins started calling me the PROFESSOR for my knowledge with Hondas and bikes in general however I'm just a SALES GUY and Ex-Parts Guy.

A little about Hap's: My grandfather started working for his friend at their Sarasota motorcycle store in 1948 (The first bike shop in that county). Later he bought in to the store and evently it became Hap's Cycle Sales, Inc. We sold Harley's orginally but later had a fallen out this HD and took on Honda in the early 60's. Later we dropped HD. And we've grown over the years but we still sell Honda and we have several family members working at the store along with many friends for a total of about 30 employees. And hey if you are ever in Sarasota, Florida we have a small motorcycle musuem.

Well their's more but I want to keep it short. I hope to meet some great people here.....



Steve

I'm still in school so I have no problem calling you professor. Gixxerdale is correct, we're gonna be best friends! Especially when something is wrong with my bike which is frequently =P

Oh right, welcome to the forums too Unfortunately I couldn't be the first to give you a warm "wecome" which wasn't the case when GxixerKing9 introduced himself...

Thanks everyone.... well I got my profile and avatar updated.... And yes right now I'm BIKELESS... I started riding when I 4 with dirt bikes and I've been on then for 25 years until my boys... Right now their my bike fund plus my wife and I are trying to buy a house. However My bike for choice for my wife and I would be the HONDA INTERCEPTOR but with the old Gear on Gear Cam Drive not the new engine or The new Triumph Spring ST awesome...

Zip is one of the sharpest knives in the drawer, so to speak.
