PERFORMANCE
ENGINEERING
You’ve
heard
that
term
bandied
about
the
Dealership.
Sometimes
referring
to
educational
customer
seminars
or
highly
customized
bikes
that
we
produce
on
a
one
off
basis.
You’ll
also
hear
it
with
regards
to
building
slightly
to
wildly
modified
engines.
In
almost
every
instance
when
you
here
Performance
Engineering
you’re
seeing
a
demonstration
of
our
capabilities.
The
Performance
Engineering
Group
(PEG)
built
my
bike
for
the
BUBBA
CHALLENGE
DYNO
DRAG
RACES
(which
we
have
won
for
the
last
three
years),
but
did
you
know
that
the
PEG
actually
championed
a
race
bike
this
last
year
in
the
AHDRA
series.
Aside
from
the
local
Dyno
Drag
shootouts
that
we
have
won,
the
bike
that
the
PEG
has
built
(a
2004
low
rider)
will
be
competing
in
January
at
Pomona
in
The
Easy
Riders
National
Dyno
Drag
Shootout.
It
is
a
gathering
of
the
ten
fastest
Dyno
Drag
bikes
in
the
United
States.
We
participated
in
this
last
year
and
took
sixth
place,
and
this
year
we
hope
to
do
better.
But
our
proudest
moment
came
just
this
last
month.
On
a
warm
November
weekend
in
the
Las
Vegas
desert,
Tommy
Loredo
rode
the
PEG’s
bike
to
a
Second
Place
finish
in
the
Screamin’
Eagle
Performance
Parts
division.
All
weekend
long
people
asked,
“Who
are
these
guys
from
San
Jose?”
Competing
against
other
local
dealerships
and
professionally
sponsored
teams
with
years
more
experience
and
far
greater
resources,
Tommy
and
the
PEG
showed
what
could
be
done
by
shear
determination
and
the
enthusiasm
of
youth.
Who
are
these
guys
from
San
Jose?
They
are
the
Performance
Engineering
Group
and
you
know
them
as
our
Parts
Manager
and
our
Service
Technicians
that
help
you
with
your
bike.
The
next
time
you
are
in
give
Tommy
(Parts
Manager)
some
congratulations
and
let
him
know
you
are
as
proud
of
him
as
we
are.
