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.
