SKS Closing

[Dragonslayer]

I ran into the owner, Steve Shore of SKS Motorcycles at the Atlanta International Motorcycle show a few weeks back. Steve was an old roommate of mine years ago and has been known for years in the Atlanta motorcycle community as the owner of SKS Motorcycles in Lillburn, Georgia.

 

While we were talking he told me that he is closing this business and is liquidating his inventory of bikes, parts, fixtures, equipment of this motorcycle shop.

 

I'm sure there will be some bargains in there and thought I would pass this information on .

Just tired of it, or it aint profitable anymore? Just wondering.

He said he was just tired of it, he mentioned fighting with the government. I guess you could read anything into that, Government regulation causing not profitable condition. I don't know for sure. But he made it sound like he would be selling out lock, stock and barrel for pennies on the dollar.

Wow, I just now tried to call them...no answer, and it is 11:30 am EST on a Friday. I could not find a working website either.

 

I want to know what bikes they have for sale, but no one is around.

Yea like it or hate it this new "health care tax" un-afforadble health care whatever you want to call it is forcing thousands of small bussiness to call it quits.

He's probably folding up the tents and not in there much. I'm not sure. Is there still a working phone number can you leave a message?

 

Hey maybe when you come this way to pick up your new micro cars in Madison you can drop in on him in Lillburn.

I went by SKS shop yesterday to see what he had. There is quite a lot of stuff all the aftermarket safety chrome, parts, seats, tires is marked down 30%. A lot of Harley stuff since the shop is primarily a Harley shop. Shop equipment, Dyno for $18,000, Bearing press, Tire machine and tire balancer, table lifts, work benches, drill press, frame jig. There are 8 high end Harleys and custom bikes which he says are listed on Craig's list Atlanta.

 

He's liquidating everything and said he would be there until everything is gone. As of yesterday it looked like he had a ways to go. There is generally a make an offer feel to the place some items have price tags most do not.

 

He said the best way to reach him is by phone he is there everyday and will be for a while but is not responding to email inquires.
