JD – Owner, Chief Wrench, & Big-Dealership Antidote

If you’ve ever walked into a mega dealership and felt like just another number in a sales queue, JD is the answer. As the owner and driving force behind our family business, JD built this shop on a simple idea...do away with corporate nonsense, cut out the high-pressure sales tactics, and bring back real, one-on-one conversations.

JD’s obsession with horsepower started long before he could legally drive, growing up as a die hard hot rod guy with grease on his hands and gasoline in his veins. In 1998, he officially kicked off his Harley career down in Tucson, Arizona. Over the next two decades, he traveled from Ohio to Arizon, back to Ohio working at a mix of independent shops and major dealerships. Soaking up tech knowledge, learning a wide varity of motorcycle knowledge, and taking careful notes on everything he didn’t like about the corporate motorcycle world.

Instead of building a cold, flashy box store, JD used that knowledge to create something he’s genuinely proud of: an old school, family first shop where you can grab a cup of coffee, talk bikes, and get honest answers tailored to your budget.

Whether you’re hunting down an old school custom build, tweaking performance, or just looking for straight shooting advice from someone who actually rides, JD’s always around to pull up a stool and chat.

Quick Facts About JD:

First Harley Chapter: Tucson, AZ (1998)
First Love: Hot rods and anything that makes too much noise
Shop Philosophy: Old-school mentality, zero corporate fluff, 100% rider-focused

Allen Holestein - Technician

Allen Holstein – Right Hand Man, Tech, & Proof That Customers Never Leave

Allen’s journey from "the guy who needed his bike fixed" to vital shop technician is living proof of our old school, family first approach. It all started years ago when Allen walked into JD’s shop as a customer looking to get a tire done. Overtime instead of just writing up a invoice, JD saw a fellow friend and handed him a set of tools, pointed to an open lift, and said, "Here, fix it."

That single open lift turned into a brotherhood. Over countless days and nights spent shoulder to shoulder in the shop, Allen absorbed JD’s decades of motorcycle knowledge through hands on, real deal apprenticeship. He learned the exact ins, outs, and meticulous standard of care JD demands for every bike that rolls through the door.

Today, Allen isn't just our right hand man and trusted techn he's genuine family (and officially Jeri's Godfather). If you see him working on your bike, rest assured it’s being handled by someone who learned from the ground up, cares deeply about the ride, and treats every motorcycle like it’s his own.

Quick Facts About Allen:

How He Started: Came in as a customer, got handed a wrench, never left
Training Ground: The JD School of Hard Knocks & V-Twin Knowledge
Official Status: Right hand technician, family anchor, & Godfather extraordinaire
