LA CROSSE, WI (July 25 2008) S&S® Cycle, manufacturer of Proven Performance® engines and components for American v-twins is honored to report on an incredibly successful CAC Summer Meeting during the 50th Anniversary Celebration Weekend.
The celebration weekend started early for S&S as another CAC (Customer Advisory Council) meeting was held the morning of Thursday, June 26th, 2008. This meeting brings together representatives on the Distributor, Original Equipment Manufacturer, Dealer and Media sides of the motorcycle industry to discuss what S&S is doing right—and wrong. Led by Brett Smith, Kurt Peterson, Michael Scaletta and Charlie Hadayia of S&S, the CAC meeting allows plenty of information to flow back and forth between the groups, which is then transferred to dealers and customers through the course of the year.
S&S thanked outgoing members Greg Kottman of Gateway Thunder, Bob Cashwell of Drag Specialties & Nate Jones of Custom Hawg for their previous years of service. They then welcomed Sam Wills of Thunder Cycles as a new member and thanked Holger Mohr, Kevin Alsop & Xavier Essayans for their willingness to renew their existing terms on the council.
“This meeting was a little different in that while the group had lots to go over, the excitement around the 50th celebration served as a reminder to the group, that although the market may be down, we all had a lot to be thankful for”, said Kurt Peterson, Sales Manager for S&S Cycle, Inc.
All in all the day was productive and a lot of ideas and suggestions were discussed. Particular attention was placed on EPA and C.A.R.B. related issues as well as on dealer training. S&S has taken the lead in both of these issues and hopes to help dealers remain competitive in the market by offering EPA and C.A.R.B. approved engines and technical training to its dealers.
“The CAC is a great format for us to gather market information and share what’s going on at S&S with our council members,” said S&S president, Brett Smith. “I’d like to thank all of them for their support and enthusiasm during our meetings and our 50th Anniversary Celebration.”
