 Scott Dean, Service Mechanic
It’s been seven years since Scott Dean joined the service department, converting his 12 year auto wrenching career into motorcycles, which have always been his hobby.
He purchased his first bike, a ’73 Honda CL125, with the $60.00 he made from collecting cans and bottles. After transforming it into a dirt bike, he staked his claim to fame by launching it off a dirt hill and jumping an entire parking lot, jamming the forks painfully on the landing. He proudly states that the county installed a guard rail there, just because of him.
At the age of 17, he acquired his first street bike; a Honda Ascot 500. He’s been riding a procession of bikes he has fixed ever since. His current mount is a Triumph Trophy. Carrie, his partner, enjoys riding on the back, when they’re not busy raising their son, 19 month old Jacob, and his older siblings..

Larry Henderson, Service Mechanic
My first bike was a ‘69 Triumph Bonneville 650, purchased in Decatur for $350.00 as a basket case in February of 1982. I rolled it out of the garage in July of the same year, and rode it constantly, all over Michigan and Indiana for the next three years.
My next bike, a 1978 Moto Guzzi 850 Lemans, started my love affair with Italian bikes. It was highly modified and years ahead of its time in style and performance. Another notable bike of mine was a 1974 Kawasaki Z1 900.
I worked in a Honda shop in the mid 80’s, and was a mechanic in a dirt bike shop in Las Vegas in the late 80’s. I also have experience working as an auto mechanic.
I built a 1967 Triumph 650 chopper that won “Old School Chop” honors at Kalamazoo Chopper 3rd Annual Bike Show. It was a Hardtail with a rattle can paint job - black with blue pinstripe flames - with hundreds of handmade parts on it. This project bike represented twenty years of machine incarnate, and reincarnate, as it morphed its way through my mechanical and creative inclinations.
Since starting work at Life Cycle in spring of ‘07, I have taken factory training courses for Triumph and Ducati.
My current bike is a 2005 Ducati Monster 620.

Trevor Bouma
My riding hobby started when I was three with the birthday present of a 4x4 Jeep Powerwheels. This was my pavement cruiser for a few years, until I realized how poorly it did off road. I soon traded this battery eating machine in for Dad’s lawn mower. As many young children do, I burned figure eights into various parts of our lawn. Finally, I got booted off of lawn patrol and left with nothing.
Soon my friends’ farms and back lawns were being terrorized by me on mini bikes and go carts. Like most old toys, they break with excessive abuse from young terrorists like me.
At the age of 12, I acquired an ‘02 Polaris Magnum 325 4x4, which I rode all over Michigan for years, including northern Michigan, the UP, and a road that was a stone’s throw from Canada. Then, I purchased my current ATV; a 2000 Honda 400EX with a list of modifications 10 feet tall.
Later this year, I will be getting my cycle endorsement for a future purchase of a road bike. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming season. |
