Sameer was born in India and moved to the US when he was 14 to attend high school and later the University of Mississippi to pursue a degree in Business Administration. After college he joined his family business in the US.
He continued living in the US, and led the family business group's import/export division--sourcing both existing products and having new products manufactured worldwide for supply to distributors throughout the United States. An avid motorcyclist and scooterist, he began to look for ways to tie in his passion for two wheelers with his import/export business. In 2000 his love for motorcycles and scooters led him to start a manufacturing/restoration business in India specializing in restoring antique Vespa & Lambretta scooters as well as a variety of classic motorcycles for sale in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. Ready to make a career change and focus on two wheelers full time, Sameer sold the Hampton Inn he was operating and moved his family back to his hometown in India, to personally oversee the restoration business full-time. Since 2000, the company has restored and exported several thousand scooters and motorcycles to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Japan, Canada, France, Germany and the US.
Jeff was born in Texas and raised in Mississippi. He was bitten by the motorcycle bug growing up living next door to a professional motorcycle mechanic, "helping" him work when a he was a young teenager. Later, he bought his first motorcycle, only form of his transportation for a few years, when he was still a teenager (a poorly running old Kawasaki KZ 400). He worked his way through college in retail sales where he learned sales and retail dynamics. Jeff received both a Bachelor's degree (Political Science/Business Administration) and a Law degree from the University of Mississippi. He currently rides a vintage Jawa, Royal Enfield, and several Vespas and Lambrettas that were restored by us.
