TJ has been in the Harley industry for many years and is happy to call Sound Harley-Davidson home! "I like the Puget Sound area a lot. It has everything anyone would want in a place to live; ocean, mountains, sunshine and yes rain, but it wouldn't be Washington with out it..right?" In 2001, TJ started drag racing in the AHDRA as crew on a nitro pro dragster, then onto crew chief on the same bike in 2002 & 2003. He purchased a new Buell M2L and transformed it into a nitrous injected, wheelie bared, 10 sec., drag bike- and won the NW Nationals in 2003! He also took runner-up at the season opener at Pacific Drag ways, won the season (finally), and was in the semi finals in 4 other races. TJ also qualified for the Las Vegas Nationals and High Stakes Shootout, where a sliced rear tire "almost" put him into the wall going at a speed of 123 MPH! Not bad for a first season rider! Other hobbies include; scuba diving and boating!

Lenny - Watchful Eye
Home Town - Florida
The Sound Harley Service Team would like to introduce the newest member of their staff. His name is Lenny and he came to us all the way from Miami, Florida! Lenny’s trip to the Puget Sound area was a rather eventful one. He made it from the back of a cold semi trailer in which he had to create a home out of a cardboard crate to keep warm. Lenny was extremely cold and famished by the time he got our dealership. Since he traveled incredibly far and under such horrific conditions, the Service Team felt obligated to bring him aboard, and be a part of the Sound Harley staff. Although Lenny has no formal training in Motorcycle Mechanics, he's none the less a valued member of our team. Since Lenny is currently homeless, he’s residing in the Service Department office accompanied by a water dish and heating pad until other arrangements can be made. Lenny's spirits are high and he seems to growing and gaining strength each and everyday, despite the loss of appendage upon arrival (thanks to a scuffle he got into with TJ our Service Manager), he's slowing growing it back (his tail that is).
