Background:
Wes Scott started working as a
motorcycle mechanic at Broward Motorsport, a large Triumph dealership in
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in March 1966, where he learned to work on
Triumphs, BSA's, Nortons and other fine British made motorcycles. Wes
continued to work full time at this Triumph shop for eleven years, during
which time he went to Florida Atlantic University where he earned a
Bachelors Degree in Ocean Engineering. After graduation, the market for
engineering graduates was in a slump so Wes continued to work at the
Triumph shop for another five years. Eventually, in 1977 he obtained an
engineering job with a large Defense Contractor and began his engineering
career. In 1978, Wes began to re-pursue his passion for motorcycles
by opening a small repair shop in Oakland Park, where he performed service
on British bikes for some of his former customers. This was only to be a
small part-time operation, at first, as Wes was working full time as an
engineer. As time went along, this small part-time business grew larger,
until it reached a point where it became a full time business. This is
when Wes' son Jim came into the picture. Jim Scott had just finished a
four-year stint in the Navy, where he had been trained to work on the
Navy's largest gas turbine powered helicopters (CH-53's). With the high
level of naval aircraft service training, and Jim's natural mechanical
aptitude, he came to work at Wes Scott Cycles with much to offer.
Qualifications :
Wes has over 34 years of experience with the repair of
British Motorcycles and has attended various factory training schools
sponsored by Triumph, Norton, Ducati, and Moto Guzzi. In addition, Wes is
a registered professional engineer (in the mechanical engineering
discipline) in the state of Florida. Jim has had four years of service in
the U. S. Navy as an aircraft mechanic and nine years of on the job
training at Wes Scott Cycles. Jim is also a certified welder and performs
most of the welding repairs performed at Wes Scott Cycles.

need. To supplement our large inventory of new parts we have acquired a
vast stock of used parts, which include frames, wheels, engine parts,
