“There’s really no other place, except Strictly Dirt (in Canton), that’s a motorcycle shop in this area,” she said Friday. The fact that the building once housed a motorcycle dealership will be a benefit as well as the lack of competition in the area. “We had to put in doors to separate the shop from the showroom,” Fry said, adding that otherwise “everything is pretty much ship-shape.” Unlike Canton Cycles, which had its service department in the building’s lower level at the rear, Redline Powersports’ service area will be adjacent to the showroom at street level. She also said she has already hired a service technician who used to work for Midtown Kawasaki in Rocky Hill.

She said will also be able to order brands that aren’t on display. Redline Powersports will occupy the upstairs of the building, above Morsel Munk.įry said she will stock name brands, such as HJC helmets and Weise and Tourmaster riding gear. “I’m trying to do everything right and do everything proper,” said Fry, who is currently awaiting approval of the planning and zoning commission for her business. It will also service Japanese-made bikes and sell used bikes on consignment. The business will sell new motorcycle parts, accessories and apparel. Main Street.Ĭanton Cycles closed in October 2010, but Fry is hoping to have Redline Powersports open by March 1.
