Southlake, TX (PRWEB) April 25, 2005 -- Stopping in at American Performance Cycle (APC) requires you to pass the gauntlet of businesses from the who's who of American racing including Mario Andretti, Carroll Shelby, Freddie Spencer, Derek Daily and the king himself, Richard Petty.
You see Mike Sample, President of American Performance Cycle, and his crew at APC office at the performance warehouses next to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. On any given day you can smell race-fuel in the morning.
Given their location, it's not a coincidence that APC builds high-performance choppers and cruisersand Mike Sample makes sure that he builds a quality product.
"We use quality products where fit, finish and performance are important," said Sample. "At APC we use Roadmax transmissions because it is a good product that shifts nice and works well. We use the 6-speed Roadmax in all of our high-performance right-side drive models."
APC offers seven models including High Roller S, 240, 280, Wild Card 240, 280, Hustler 240 and the Spirit S. APC offers softail-style suspension on there chopper and cruiser lines. Since fabrication and painting is handled in-house, customers can order custom one-of-a-kind paint schemes, stretch, rake, accessories, wheels and controls.
"We are excited to have American Performance Cycles as part of the Roadmax family," explained Bob Kay, President of Biker Pros. "Mike Sample is building outstanding bikes as well as a company that has staying power."
Business is heating up at APC since the beginning of the year. Since January dealership outlets have grown from 42 to 52. APC has also brought in General Electric to handle flooring for dealers. Later this year APC will clear CARB emissions with bikes being available in California.
"My background is equal parts businessman and motor head," explains Sample. "I've raced and wrenched off-shore boats and before APC I was the second top producing stockbroker in the firm. This provides me with the experience to build a firm that will be here tomorrow with a product that is outstanding in design and just about bulletproof in durability."
Currently APC's facility includes a "cell" production facility for the custom high-end manufacturing and an assembly line operation for its new entry-level motorcycle the "Spirit S". In addition, this expanded facility includes a state of the art "Machine Shop" with CNC capabilities thus allowing APC to build many more of the parts it requires, while lowering cost.
