Four Aces Cycle Shop

I've started the four-acids cycle in November of 2001, so I've been in business about 15 years now. I started out just selling parts, but inevitably started working on motorcycles and 15 years later. We are a small shop in the San Fernando Valley that specializes in British motorcycles, but as you can see from everything around here, it's mostly tri We started land speed racing. I say we, me, and a buddy started land speed racing in 2006. Went to the Bonneville soft flats for the first time, me with a 500 Tri And we got bit by the bug and have been going back ever since. You only see people once a year sometimes, and one of the old guys that would always be a starter at Bonneville, especially with the rookies. And just with anybody after you got to know you, he would walk up and put his hand on your shoulder and he would say, he'd say, go fast, have fun, and the throttle works both ways. So that's my advice. The goals as a two person in the fouries team are pretty much the same as the goals if we had 10 people or if we had one person. It's just to go faster and have fun. Christina and I met at a car show, sort of a car show, car get together. I don't even know how many years ago, quite a few years ago now. And she was into motorcycles when I met her. She had just taken the Motorcycle Safety course, I believe, and she heard me talking about lakes racing. And then back again in 2012 and got her out on the bike and got hooked on land speed racing that way. In her real life, she is a California licensed barber and has her own studio appointment only kind of thing over in Woodland Hills. What I do is I'm a barber. I decided that I needed some type of work that was a trade that no matter what the economy was doing, I would always have work. So I went to barber school and I've been barbering for six years. And I wanted a job that I could accommodate my motorcycle racing because obviously that's what's important to me. And no, I don't do tattoos, but I just I really enjoy art. And that's why I do my downtime. I paint a lot when I'm not playing with motorcycles. The first time I raced was 2011. I got to race Wes's bike right after he was finished at Bonneville. And that was just a really incredible experience. My bike is a 650 Tri And I'modified vignage fuel, meaning that the bike doesn't look We're talking about building my bike, I said, why don't we name it the H Just to remind us that no matter where we go with racing to always stay h I mean, we're chasing records that guys have set 60 years ago. That's why we named it the H
