Jeff Butler

Jeff's philosophy as a technician is to handle every machine as if it were his own. He believes being meticulous and conscientious not only results in a job being done properly, but it also means his customer's safety is ensured.

Jeff graduated from the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Orlando,
Florida with certifications in Honda and Kawasaki. He later completed Polaris and Yamaha factory training. Jeff is also a factory trained and certified Motor Trike trike kit installer.

An A-level technician, Jeff's favorite past times include dirt bike riding, mini bike racing and street bike riding. He was introduced to motorcycles at a very young age by his father, who would take him for rides on his '77 Suzuki 450 parallel twin. He bought his first snow mobile for $75 when he was just seven years old ~ a '72 Arctic Cat Lynx 292, single cylinder. His dad, a master diesel technician, taught Jeff how to work on the snow mobile. It wasn't long before Jeff wanted to learn everything he could about gasoline engines. He still has the desire to learn about new technology and methods of service and repair, wanting to offer his customer's up-to-date knowledge and the best possible service for their equipment.
