Working Through The Shutdown

D&D American Performance Working Through The Shutdown

Story n hoto y Al n Dockery

pril w as a real tough

month for small businesses and customers needing parts and services. But one bike shop I know of stepped up to the challenge to keep y’all ready to ride.

D&D American Performance in Mooresville, NC, posted a simple message; ‘don’t come hang out at the shop these days’, but they were working and safely handling drop offs, pickups and deliveries. Shucks, ask them nice and they will even bring out a copy of The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine when taking work orders.

I’m glad to see D&D American Performance doing well as they work through their second year as a great local bike shop and their reputation and customer base has expanded. Since they ain’t far from I-77, it’s worth going to see them.

These guys have a great reputation in this area as a good place to take your American motorcycles for everything from routine service to hot rod Harley motor builds. Check their ads for monthly specials. D&D American Performance gives customers great deals on all the latest additions, upgrades and modifications for your machines. If your bike ain’t running right, they can fix the problems. And if you want to make your already sweet machine stand out on the road, D&D can install custom front ends, lights, stereos, seats, wheels, exhaust, and whatever you want or need.

I first met Dan Workman twenty some years ago at the drag strip. He was a crew member on the Nitro Shack Pro Dragster tuned by David Lytton and ridden by Mike Nicholson. I kept hearing about him and his reputation as a good wrench. Shop owners bragged about Dan when he worked at their shop. Dan finally has his own shop and is available to work for all y’all.

Jason “Dewey” Wolf is building his years of experience. He knows that with skill and desire to build a good reputation he can earn your business for years to come. Dewey is professionally trained to work on motorcycles and has years of H-D dealership experience.

“When we left the dealership, we had a goal of providing dealer quality service without dealership prices to the Mooresville and surrounding motorcycle communities. Now, Dan and Dewey run D&D American Performance and can do just about anything and everything you need for your American motorcycle. From tires and brakes and oil changes to build you a bad ass hot rod Harley motor, they can take care of you. They work on Indians and Victorys, too. Dan said, “We are beyond grateful to all our customers for helping us celebrate one year

in business.”

At a very reasonable labor rate of $65 per hour, these guys can take good care of your motorcycle. Most of the stuff they do is cams, head work and tuning. They can also do Bagger Conversions, dressing up your Road King or other ride with custom stuff. Whatever they can’t do, they have good contacts with people in the motorcycle world who can do a professional job.

D&D American Performance also has nice used Harleys for sale at great prices with easy financing. And they do motor- cycle inspections, too. When you get off I-77 at Exit 36 for all the bars and restaurants, head east on Hwy 150. After you cross the tracks, they are on the left at 105 Denver Business Park Drive.

Stop in to see Dan The Man and Dewey. They can make that Harley look and run much better.
