WOW Motorcycles

the world's largest independent motorcycle and power sports shop and it's owned and operated by a woman. She's in studio with us today and so is one of her motorcycles. Please welcome. Wow. Motorcycle CEO and owner Candy Hunter. Hi Candy. How are you? I'm good. How are you? You look very festive. Thank you. I'm trying to spice up the celebration. I can't wait to talk to you. You're so accomplished. You had a big event yesterday. Yes, we did. Open house stunt show. Our cameras were there for all the festivities. What was the response from people who attended? They loved it. We have people that come from all over the southeast to see our open houses and they really love the variety of bikes that they see. We get everything. Two wheels, three wheels, street carts, all kinds of stuff come. And yesterday was actually super special because one of the stunt guys Rodney proposed to his girlfriend Danielle. So yes, we had a cart decorated for a wedding from the previous weekend. So we had them hop on it and we took them up and down the stunt strip and had everybody applaud for them and everything. So it was really some nice icing on the cake for such a wonderful event. An engagement to remember how fun is that? Looking at the video, what a cool thing to be a part of. And you'responsible for that, Kudos to you. Why should people consider riding motorcycles? Your motto is fun for everyone. Talk about that. Yes, well, riding motorcycles is fun for sure. And also it'something that's the economical mode of transportation. And one of the things we want to do is how people consider motorcycles not just as a toy because in other countries, people use scooters and motorcycles daily as transportation. It's necessary. So we would like to, It would definitely help with Atlanta traffic if there was more people on motorcycles and also make it a little bit more safe if people see more motorcycles on the road. And as far as fun, whether it's we sell a straight legal golf cart to a family for s We had 10, 12 people from Sweden going out, That's just so much fun for us. And we really, when you do that on a daily basis, it's not work. So we all really love what we do. I love that you mentioned just what you said, but while motorcycles is local, right up the street, Marietta, but you have a national clientele of customers from all over the world. How did that happen? The previous owner and founder actually created the name, wow, it means world on wheels. And he started the business based off of shipping anything on wheels. So he started shipping into Europe and other countries. We've shipped into Dubai, Singapore, And from there, it just, I was gonna say, go on the website right now, because they truly have something for everyone, even e-bikes. And it's very easy to maneuver. I was having a great time looking at things I don't need right now, but maybe I do. Mother says coming up, when you started, there were not very many women in power sports, Kibby. How has the industry changed? No, there were not very many women at all, just a few percent. So when kind of now there's about 20% of people, women that are riding. So it's much more common to see women motorcyclists. And a lot of women have found very rewarding careers in the industry as well. So we're here. Yeah, such as yourself. And I don't mean to ask this question, but I have to. How do you run your place differently than perhaps a male owner would? Well, I probably do run it a little differently than a male CEO. I think the business fundamentals are always still the same. But being a mom in women, I have a little bit more nurturing. So I think I see things in people that they don't necessarily see themselves. And I always want the best for them. So I kind of draw that out. Yeah, we love that. And we love showcasing you and wow motorcycles here. I know you have a special offer for our ANC viewers. So let's get to it. What is it? Well, if you want to buy a motorcycle, we have a free select helmet with motorcycle purchases. And on the Tom Berlin Street Legal Golf Cards, we have a free ebike with certain one models. All right, s A lot of those motorcycles and golf carts I see riding around NYO at Chastain probably got right at your place. So thank you, Kani for being here. We appreciate it. Thank you. Happy to come. Yes, happy thinking of my you can get a margarita now for more information. Head to wow motorcycles dot com or call 770-424-8804.
