Family oriented, good work ethics, long time area residents, nice people, and avid motorcycle riders. The group of people that make up the staff at Sport Motors Harley-Davidson share these common attributes. Add to that common bond, a wealth of experience and training in the motor sports and motorcycle industry, and that pretty well describes the people that work on the team at Sport Motors Harley-Davidson. Of the 20 employees that work for the business, all of them have owned motorcycles at one time or another. 18 of the employees currently own and ride a motorcycle, including 13 that have at least one Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. Sport Motors is owned and managed by Gary Gotter, Roy Gotter and Jane Gotter. Together they have more than 70 years of combined experience in the motorcycle business, and many more years of experience riding motorcycles. The Service Department is staffed by five full-time employees, with four of them participating in the Harley PHD Program. Rene Drinkwine is the lead technician in the service department, and has achieved the level of Master Service Technician in Harley-Davidson Training, and is Harley PHD certified. Rene has been with Sport Motors since 1976 and rides a 2000 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Steven Boyce, with over 18 years experience, has also achieved the level of Master Service Technician in Harley-Davidson Training, is Harley PHD certified, and rides 2000 Dyna Convertible. Al Galindo has been with Sport Motors for over 15 years, is also Harley® PHD certified, a certified Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, Can-Am ATV and Kawasaki technician. Al is also our in-house expert for the new Can-Am Spyder Roadster. Al and his family own and ride a blue 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 with added saddlebags and windshield, a 1995 Kawasaki Ninja GPZ 1100, 3 Ski-Doo snowmobiles and a Ski-Doo Mini-Z for his young son to ride. The Parts, Accessories, and Clothing Departments are staffed by seven employees, with one graduate of the MMI Training Program in Phoenix, three Harley PACE Program certified members, and one Harley PHD Program certified member on staff. Mark Smith is the Parts Department Manager, and has been with Sport Motors since 1992. Mark began racing "dirt bikes" competitively at the age of ten, and was one of the top moto-cross racers in the region, for a number of years. Mark is a true "motorcycle nut" and although he no longer races competitively, he still rides a dirt bike recreationally, and "tinkers with bikes" in his spare time. Lillian Ziemann is the Clothing Department Manager, and has been with Sport Motors since 1996. She owns and rides a 2005 Road Glide®, and together with her husband, also owns three other Harleys. They both enjoy riding in their spare time. Jody Munyon also works in the Clothing and Accessories Department and, with her husband, rides a 2007 Road Glide Glide®. Jane Gotter is the Office Manager at Sport Motors, and is the "glue factor" for the business. In addition to handling her accounting and finance duties, Jane is the one that "holds everything together". She answers all the questions, coordinates the flow between departments for sales, service, parts, and accessories, and does all the little things that help everyone keep a positive attitude. She also works closely with Gary, Roy, and the two additional Sales Team members, to make sure that the sales experience for customers is a positive experience. The Sales Department is staffed by Steve Hauck and John Plantz. Steve has over 32 years of sales experience with the last 16 of them at Sport Motors. He has completed Harley-Davidson’s Pro Sell I & II- "Customer Satisfaction Sales Training", several Kawasaki training seminars, is a Ski-Doo Certified Product Specialist, and has also competed in Ski-Doo’s national “Walk-Around” competition. Steve has been riding motorcycles for almost 40 years and currently rides a 2006 Ninja ZX14R. John Plantz joined the Sport Motors team in 2004, after 37 years with IBM. He’s been riding for over 15 years and currently rides a 2005 Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide. Stop in and meet all of the people that work at Sport Motors Harley-Davidson. They are really nice people that really like motorcycles, and they will be happy to help you in anyway possible.
