Power Sport Models
is a family run business owned and operated by Motorcycle Riders!
We provide our customers with Highly Detailed Replica
models of their favorite rides;
most
notably Harley-Davidson motorcycles. While we do offer lower
cost products
on
our website, our specialty are the HIGH QUALITY models
prized by collectors.
But enough about the business, let's talk bikes! I inherited
my first bike, a Suzuki 80 from my
older brother for the unheard price of $1.00 in 1968. He was
serving in Vietnam and I was 13
and living in Texas. I was so excited, I immediately wrote him
back and included that dollar.
What my brother still doesn't know was that I had to borrow the
dollar from my Dad,
hey, I was a kid, I didn't have any money!
A few years later Dad helped out again by co-signing a loan so I
could buy another used bike,
a Suzuki 50cc. We kept that bike for years until I finally ran
it into the ground, literally! The forks
were bent and the bike was dead. I still think about the time
my girlfriend (now my wife of
almost 32 years) tried to ride it and landed in a cactus, Ouch!
She'll only ride on the back
to this day.
After marrying and moving to Chicago, we bought our first brand new
bike,
a Honda 400cc, talk about excited! We used that bike for
everything from commuting to work
to riding as much as we could in the Chicago winters. We sold
that bike after moving back to
Texas in order to help pay for the down payment on our first house.
I kept my license though
and 20+ years later helped my oldest son buy his first bike, a
Suzuki Katana 600. Now I know
why my Mom worried about me on that little 50cc.
Ten or so years later, I finally bought another bike for me, a
Suzuki Intruder 800cc, nice bike
but not comfortable enough for the long rides I wanted to
take...so, I went to the shop to
buy a battery and came home with a beautiful 2002 Suzuki Intruder
1500LC. The 800cc got
shipped to California to our son's home in Lake Tahoe. It's
perfect for him.
Now we are opening Power Sport Models specializing in providing
highly detailed scale models to
help old guys like me
relive their youth. We hope you find something you like.
Thanks for visiting our site and be sure to sign up for our
email specials.
Take a look at the Intruder 1500LC and send us a picture of you and
your bike. We'll post
it on our Friends page. Maybe we'll see you out on the
twistys some day.
Safe Riding!
