saddlebags, jackets,<br />

safety equipment,<br />

rain gear, goggles, oil,<br />

chemicals. You name it,<br />

they have it all in their<br />

24,000 sq. ft. facility<br />

in the Kaloko Industrial<br />

area.<br />

Kiser Motorcycles was<br />

founded by Garcie “Mr.<br />

Kiser” over 30 years<br />

ago. A great staff, loyal<br />

customers and the<br />

dedication of Mr. Kiser<br />

has contributed to the<br />

store’s success.<br />

“He still makes<br />

every customer feel<br />

like family,” said store<br />

owners Kris and Kym<br />

Kiser, who took over the<br />

dealership in 2003.<br />

In fact, the entire<br />

staff at Kiser Motorcycles<br />

recognizes the<br />

importance of each<br />

customer.<br />

“We have the best<br />

staff here,” said the<br />

Kisers. “<strong>The</strong>y always go<br />

the extra mile for our<br />

customers. Our staff is<br />

very knowledgeable of<br />

our brands and what we<br />

have to offer.”<br />

With a focus on<br />

customer service and a<br />

great reputation, its no<br />

wonder Kiser was chosen<br />

as the best motorcycle<br />

shop by readers of North<br />

<strong>Hawaii</strong> News.<br />

“Our customers truly<br />

come first,” said the<br />

Kisers. “We have families<br />

that have been coming to<br />

our store for more than<br />

a generation. <strong>The</strong>y know<br />

they will get taken care<br />

of here.”<br />

Kiser Motorcycles also<br />

has what Kris and Kym<br />

consider to be the best<br />

motorcycle mechanics<br />

on the island, who can<br />

perform any kind of<br />

repair from a patch job<br />

on a tire to a major<br />

engine repair.<br />

Those who ride<br />

understand the thrill of<br />

twisting the throttle back<br />

and feeling the wind on<br />

their face. Besides buying<br />

a bike for pleasure, some<br />

ride to cut down on their<br />

fuel consumption.<br />

“Motorcycles, scooters<br />

and mopeds are a must<br />

have with the rising cost<br />

of gas,” said the Kisers.<br />

“Some get up to a 114<br />

miles per gallon.”<br />

Kiser also sponsors<br />

cycling and triathlon<br />

events to promote a<br />

healthy lifestyle, and<br />

they hold their own<br />

sprint triathlon on<br />

Thanksgiving day every<br />

year, which attracts<br />

everyone from firsttimers<br />

to pro triathletes.<br />

This is a communityminded<br />

store that has<br />

become a destination<br />

point even though it’s<br />

still a small, family<br />

business.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> aloha spirit just<br />

happens at our shop,”<br />

said the Kisers. “For us<br />

it’s all about the people<br />

here. Our customers<br />

– there is no match, they<br />

are the best.
