Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

well, after talking to my dad me and him got a great idea to open a moped shop in michigan, im saying like we would carry oem moped ( not only honda ) and hp parts. he said that he would look into it ( i thought that just ment no in a nice way ) then he accily was looking around for places to open the shop at and looking online for details about opening a shop. what do you think? my dads sick of his job working for a boss. so he wants to be a boss. we would also carry go karts mini bikes and stuff. so in the beginning it would not be a strict moped shop. i would be one of the mechanincs and my dad said that he needs 3 good mechanincs atleast before opening. he said that we wouldent open until next year summer. who would be interested in working there?

also, we need a name, and im to dumb to think of a non * one. and a banner. and it would feature this site. i would advritize this site in the shop. so anyone got any names?

darat would you be interested working there?

o and it would also be a place to tune cars and anyother thing with a carb. i learned how to tune holly carbs perfect. and thats a dieing art.

Based on the amount of moped/scooter activity I see on the web centralized in the upper MW and Michigan, I would think the market would support a shop. It seems a bit more far-fetched in the south (NOT saying it can't happen).

Names...hmmm...I'll throw something out to get things going...how about:

I'm sure that domain isn't taken...

Great Lakes Motorsports.

screw the carb tuneing, i just do that im my garage.

I like hoosiers idea for name..its got my vote.

How about Moped Revival Center

its not only a moed place. its a moter place.

hey if the price is right i would work there

you have a long way to go before you can open up a shop!

uhh my dads an egineer, we have a lack of powersports stores in troy, already found a kickass place, my sister is a cerifyed accountant, i am a mechanic, * else you want! my dads handling this stuff, dont tell me what i can and cant do.

Stay in school work on those typing and spelling skills.



I think it could work because gas prices are going to keep being high. I would start it in the spring as a side business first then maybe it can pick up enough to consider it full-time.

I think u should carry tomos and tng and tfr mopeds, thats what i would do.

I would think of something that stresses the fact that they get good gas mileage. Or call it whatever u want but get a big * sign and stick it out by the road with the mpg on the mopeds.

120 mpg!!!!!! Like the TFR and such.
Trade in your S U V for an S A V E!!!!

catchy phrase kurr... sweet

Are you guys gonna be selling new scooters? You should look into that. Get a dealers lisence and you should be able to pick up scoots for half of msrp and make like 700-1000 profit on each one.

thats my dads job not mine. im gonna let him do the hard stuff and ill do the easys tuff
