Thank you...
Well, today is my last day “helping” with the transition to new ownership, personally I am now going to go sit out and sit in the woods for awhile, maybe thru this coming winter, I refer to it as; “sitting around looking out the window while eating nuts n’ berries going hmmm…”
As everyone is obviously aware, Keweenaw Motor Sports has been sold, the new principles are Jordan and Sarah Wolfenberg of Iron Mountain, Marquette and now the new and improved Houghton Power Sports. HPS will sell and service BRP, Polaris and…check back for future additions, I’m not running the show anymore so who knows.
The reason behind the sale, as anyone who has ever been in business knows, everything is for sale and the Wolfenburg’s perceived a business opportunity so they “wrote the check”. Plain and simple, for me it had nothing to do with any of the manufactures (each dealership negotiates their own deals) I have nothing but good things to say with regards to BRP and Honda, and the relationship we had developed with them at KMS.
I didn’t think that it would be but it has been a very melancholy experience, letting my baby go. As far as the employees, this sounds harsh but as everyone knows, business is business, three of the seven remain.
Thank you to everyone who supported KMS over the course of my tenure these last five+ years. As a small group of employees we had truly become family to one another and many of our regular customers had become an extended part of that family, thank you from all of us we will miss seeing you.

P.S. Whitedust, as far as legal muzzles, that’s why I left Chicago to live in the Keweenaw, no legalities included with regard to me, learned valuable lessons years ago in ‘big city business” who knows where I’ll show or end up, lol. Plus I was only the “Grand Pooh-Bah” with the blood, sweat and tears, not the big money.
