S & G Custom Cycles

S & G Custom Cycles is far from being your typical motorcycle shop. Much like the Harley shops your dad & grandfather once enjoyed going to, except maybe larger and more incredible. Parked on the oil stained hardwood floors are motorcycles on display, hard to find used parts lying about, unique decor from vintage Harley items, antiques, jokes, the remains of one of their first loyal customers who died in 1988 and very much more. S & G restores, customizes, repairs and services all makes and models of motorcycles. If they do not have the part you need they are happy to order any item you desire. If they cannot find a part no one can! And, if they can’t find the part, many times they can make a replacement.

The S&G Custom Cycles Story

S & G Custom Cycles has a long and colorful history related to motorcycles, especially Harley Davidson. Sam Goodman has been around two wheelers all his life and has fond memories of adventures on Harleys and Cushman scooters during his childhood. Sam began his independent Harley Davidson repair shop back in 1973, building "Old Skool" choppers along with Harley repair, sales, and restoration.

Sam's grandfather, Earl Jacobs, opened one of the first Harley Davidson dealerships in Middle Tennessee in 1919. It was an addition to his wagon & buggy repair shop in the small town of Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. During WW II, Mr. Jacobs turned over control of the dealership to Sam's uncle, Dempsey Goodman. Demps moved the business to Hohenwald and continued to operate the small-town dealership until it was phased out by AMF in 1977. The franchise was offered to Sam, but he declined the offer. AMF then sold the franchise, which became Sanders Harley Davidson in Nashville, eventually evolving into C & S Harley Davidson, and now Bost HD.

Sam discovered early on that he had a future in the bike repair business when his garage became crowded with friend's bikes needing repair work. He opened his first shop in nearby Hampshire, Tennessee in 1973 with a mere $2,000 in parts. He soon outgrew the location and joined with two buddies, Tom "Bird" Cardinal and Mr. Gordon Willis "G. W." Turpin, (Who once drove for Bonnie and Clyde!), to move to a larger location. They moved the small bike shop to nearby Mt. Pleasant, where his grandfather started his dealership decades earlier. In the early 70's there was no place to purchase "biker" accessories, so they created a "biker kit" for each motorcycle sale. The kits consisted of a Harley t-shirt, engineer boots, and an Easyriders magazine!

In 1979 Sam moved the business to an old gas station on West 7th Street in Columbia, Tennessee which soon proved to be too small to accommodate the growing business. Sam next bought property on East 10th Street where he built a larger shop. S & G Custom Cycles reopened in 1981 at this location and remained there for 22 years. Sam received help from many friends building the old shop on East 10th, which incorporated his home on the top floor. One thing that made the business so successful during the 80's was the fact that S&G did a lot of high-performance machine work for several Nashville and upper Alabama Harley dealers. This along with the usual Harley repair, customizing, vintage restoration, part sales, and the selling and trading of motorcycles ensured that we are still thriving today.
