We’re very proud to announce that Raceway Services in Salem, Oregon, is the newest member of the California Scooter Company network of fine dealers. Raceway Services is a fascinating dealership, as is Jim Petitti, the man who owns it. Jim told me that his dealership has the feel of a 1950s motorcycle shop, and I can’t wait to get up there to see it. During my conversation with Jim, he told me things about motorcycles I had never known (did you know that Salsbury only made 1252 bikes?). During the conversation, I knew I was listening to a man with encyclopedic knowledge of all things related to the kinds of motorcycles I like, and I was grateful for the experience. Check out the Raceway Services website – the shop’s personality comes through even over the Internet.
Raceway sells Ural, Royal Enfield, and (of course) CSC motorcycles, and they also do a lot of restoration work on classic bikes such as Whizzer, Cushman, Salsbury, Mustang, and others. Their website is really well done, and they have a great gallery. Check out a couple of their photos showing Mike Paull’s “Gear Up” and Andy Grow’s “Arctic Special Edition” Urals.
Oregon is an incredibly beautiful state, Salem is an exceptional town, and we’re tickled pink that Raceway Services is now a CSC dealer. Jim and crew, a heartfelt “welcome aboard” from the guys and gals at California Scooter!
