In The Headlight - Advertiser The Hogs Pen / Dec. 2010
WHEN DID YOU OPEN AND WHY?
I opened The Hogs Pen in 2005, after years of prodding from my friends. I’ve been tinkering with motorcycles since I was a kid. My dad came home one day to find that I had completely disassembled my ‘79 CR125 Elsinore, just to fix two gears. He was mad at first, but I put it all back together, with two new gears, and had it running in a few weeks. Not long after that, I started fixing and customizing my friends bikes as well. It was only natural to open The Hogs Pen, where we service all types of bikes. I just felt a need for a more economical priced option.
TELL US A ABOUT YOUR SHOP
I stock primarily Harley-Davidson oil filters, brakes, and tires – the wearable stuff, but I can order anything and you’ll get a great deal. Just give me a holler, and give me the opportunity to give you a price. I’ve also got dirt bike accessories and tires, as well as helmets, and chrome. We work on all kinds of motorcycles and can take care of all your bike servicing needs.
WHAT SETS YOU APART
FROM THE REST?
“Quality Service for Less!”- Plain and simple. I care about people and family, and I’ve always liked to help others out when I can. I love to ride, whether it be on a dirt bike or a cruiser, and I enjoy sharing that passion with others.
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIALTIY?
Sure do...the creative stuff. Customizing with paint and parts. I’ve always had a passion for it. I have a bike in progress now. I like to call her “Ivy.” She’s a ‘74 shovel head, and when completed she’ll sport a custom green flake paint with shading and striping. I’ve gone through her engine from head to toe and she’s rearing to go. Keep on eye on our web site, http://www.TheHogsPen.com for updates.
ANY LAST WORDS
I hope to build this business into something I can hand over to my sons one day. I love what I’m doing, and I’m never going to give up my dream.
