Retired Navy Seal, Jim Schombs

For immediate release - Fort Myers, January 31st

Jim Schombs, a retired Navy Seal from Cape Coral, has received a customized trike (motorcycle with one front wheel and two rear wheels) which enables him to do what he loves most: Riding a motorcycle! Since a stroke 18 years ago, the former Navy Seal lost control over most of his left side of the body, including his left leg and hand. Those circumstances made it impossible for him to shift gears on a motorcycle or trike. "After my stroke, I was unfortunately not able to get back on a bike. It was pretty hard for me because riding my bike was a true passion of mine" says the 55-year-old Veteran.

When Haus of Trikes & Bikes in Fort Myers had its Grand Opening of their new store back in March 2018, Jim walked in, browsing around the inventory. Mike Tinneny, a sales consultant at Haus of Trikes & Bikes, noticed Jim Schombs and got into a conversation with him. He heard Jim's story and how he missed riding his bike. The experienced motorcycle salesman knew that the Veteran's disabilities were a huge obstacle, even to ride a trike. Nevertheless, he told Jim that he would brainstorm with the technicians to see if they would be able to come up with a solution.

Fast forward to January 21st, 2019, Jim Schombs is the proud honor of a customized 2009 Harley Davidson Heritage Trike.

Mike Tinneny explains in detail what had to be done to make this customized bike: "What makes Jim's bike so special is that on a regular motorcycle, the clutch and shifter are on the left side of the bike, which Jim obviously can't use. We had to use a centrifugal clutch so he didn't have to use his hand for shifting gears. Furthermore, we added a drag racing shifter which just uses finger buttons to shift up or down without using your left foot. The hardest thing to overcome was finding a clean-looking way to get into the neutral gear since the shifter is made to race and not fall into neutral. to make it work, we changed the barrel in the transmission which a normal tranny is set to 1st gear, neutral, second, third, etc. We customized it so it starts at neutral then 1st 2nd 3rd etc. To accommodate the wheelchair in the back, the trike is made by Motor Trike which has an air ride suspension to make up for the additional weight. We have done plenty of vets bikes in the past, but Jim's was one of a kind since his needs were very specific."

Fort Myers mainstay Haus of Trikes and Bikes to expand showroom and service center to over 30,000 square feet.

For immediate release - Fort Myers, August 25th, 2017

Fort Myers-based Haus of Trikes and Bikes has released plans to expand its facility to nearly 30,000 square feet into the adjacent building. Their current facility on 4601 Fowler Street has been serving local bikers for 18 years, selling new/used motorcycles and trikes as well as providing repairs and rentals.

Owners Manfred Glanzner and Herbert Baum have acquired the former MICHIGAN HOMES office building and adjacent warehouses next to their current location and plan to open the newly renovated facility in October of 2017. The plans will expand the showroom from 5,000 to over 30,000 square feet making it one of the biggest motorcycle-and-trike-showroom in Southwest Florida. "We felt that it was time for us to expand after so many years. The increasing demand for trikes, bikes, rentals, and services for the last decade made it an easy decision for us to grow our infrastructure. "We saw the opportunity with the warehouse next door and decided to go for it!" says owner Manfred Glanzner.

The service area will grow to 4,000 square feet, servicing all V-Twins such as Harley Davidson, Victory, and Indian bikes as well as all other metric brands. The state-of-the-art two-story facility will always showcase over 200 bikes and trike

This expansion comes promptly as owner Herbert Baum explains " Over the years we have outgrown the existing facility and besides the fact that we are Florida’s largest Trike Dealer, we also have recently become an officially authorized retailer for Royal Enfield - the only one in Southwest Florida. This and the fact that we are working on inquiring other interesting Motorcycle brands for the Ft. Myers area, deserves a brand new, modern facility."

Established in 1893, Royal Enfield is the oldest motorcycle brand in the world still in production, with the Bullet model enjoying the longest motorcycle production run of all time. Royal Enfield sold over 600,000 motorcycles worldwide in 2016.

The Grand Opening is planned for this Fall and will include live music, food, and specials. For more information visit www.hausoftrikesandbikes.com.
