eNewsletter April 2009

Greetings from GP Motorcycles

Shop Move Update

Things have been coming along slowly by surely with the move, and we are still trying to get everything wrapped up by the end of the month. 

We will be sending out a brief email just before the actual move.

Again, thanks to all of you who have offered to help with the move. We are very fortunate to have such good friends and customers.

Until the move — we are business as usual on G Street.


Changing of the Guard

After 12 years, long-time GP parts man, Isaac Heinrich, has decided to move on and try some new things.  We thank him for his many years of service, and wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors.

As Isaac's replacement, we are pleased to welcome Tony D'Augusta, an avid motorcycle enthusiast who currently ownes an Aprilia Tunon and also runs the Veloce Track Days, and we hope to combine a few of his scheduled 09 track days with GP. We will post the Veloce Track Day schedule on our site in the coming days.

Tony D'Augusta

As we make the move to our new building, Tony will be charged with modernizing our processes and bringing our parts department into the 21st century.


This just in.....

This tank will basically double your fuel capacity to a full 6.4 gallons and give you a 200+ mile range.

And, best of all the overall apearance of your Hypermoto won't change.

The complete tank kit is $799 — installation 2-3 hours.


Shop Rides

Because of the move, our next shop ride won't be until May 17th.  All bikes are welcome and we will meet and leave from the NEW shop at 3617 "B" India Street.

The "Gus" Vintage Ride

We will have a vintage-only bike ride on June 14th  — all pre-1980 bikes are welcome.

This ride is in honor of Albert "Gus" Gustafson, a motorcycle shop owner in San Diego who opened his shop in 1947.  Gus ran the shop until he retired in 1988. 

Gus' shop, Motorcycle Equipment, was a dealership for many English brands, offering new bike sales, parts and service. And, during those 41 years that he was in business, Gus was the resident expert for all British bikes.

Gus was a motorcycle icon in southern California, and a mentor to the crew at GP from its inception. Ironically, Gus' shop was also on India Street, just down the road from our new location.

We plan to make this an annual event, so get your vintage bike ready!
