Mike Etheredge - Sales
He's loved motorcycles since before he could remember, his grandmother calling him Michael motorcycle as a toddler. He got his first ride on a motorcycle at the age of 8, a Yamaha 350 that his dad rode on the back of to hold up when he stopped. He was immediately at home on a two wheels. He got his first motorcycle the following year, a 1974 Honda XR75, and the competitive spirit grew from there. He owned and raced dirt bikes until the age of 36 when he bought his first street bike - a Suzuki GSX 600 Katana which he tried to transform into the fastest Katana on the planet. He took to the street quickly and soon bought his first real sport bike, a GSXR750, and soon after found himself at his first track day. On the track he only knew one speed. Flat out. This led to some real racing and after 3 years, 18 podiums and 2 race wins he was quite successful, scoring a WERA championship in 2004 and runner up in a National Championship that same year. After a couple of years in the expert classes and in need of new machinery, he hung up the race leathers after accomplishing more than he ever dreamed. He has been selling motorcycles for about 12 years now and really enjoys meeting riders both new and experienced, and sharing stories that we as riders all can relate to.
"I could retire from the industry one day and know I did what I truly loved...motorcycling." - Mike
Corey Pinson - Sales
Corey is a man of many talents, now residing in the sales department. He has been a technician for years and still carries the qualification of Triumph full certified tech. His mechanical background and experience helps a lot in sales and his technical knowledge is well above the average salesperson out there. When he's not riding (or selling) bikes his other love is playing music.
David Williams - Service Advisor
David is a local guy that has been in the motorcycle industry for many years now. If you have been around motorcycles and riding in the North Georgia area for a while, chances are you have met him. He is also a lifetime rider and has clocked countless miles from the seat of a motorcycle. For a while we didn't think he owned a car, he's ALWAYS riding his bike and has a nice scenic ride to and from work.
Thomas Hineline - Master Technician
Thomas is a certified BMW Master Technician. He has been riding and working on motorcycles for over 45 years, learning a thing or two along the way! A little over ten years ago he officially turned his passion into a profession and attended MMI (Motorcycle Mechanical Institute). He has been enjoying professionally working on motorcycles ever since and his earned certifications have included BMW, Triumph, Harley Davidson, Honda and Yamaha. He has also had formal training for MV Agusta, URAL, Royal Enfield, as well as Hannigan sidecars and trike conversions. He stays current with changing technology and enjoys the opportunity to make bikes perform to their ultimate efficiency. Thomas currently has a 2012 Goldwing and a 1999 Triumph. As an Army veteran, he is an active member of the American Legion and serves as an officer for both his post and at district levels. He is proud to be an American Legion rider and enjoys serving the community through his membership with the Mason’s and Shriners’.
Phil Porritt - Technician
Phil is another one that has been around the Motorcycle industry for quite some time now. We joke that Phil has forgotten more about motorcycles than the rest of us will ever learn. He has been professionally wrenching on bikes since before some of us here at the shop were born and has done everything from factory maintenance to building and setting up race bikes and engines. Any tech that has multiple stethascopes in his box is usually qualified and is likely to have come up the old-school way with lots of real world experience.
