It’s easy to see how much we’ve grown over the past 45 years if you just compare our first catalog to our current one. Everything about the catalog has changed: from the paper to the production process, from the portfolio to the printing press. Here’s a quick look at the catalog, then and now:

IN 1971, LARRY CUPOLA FORMED THE NEW ENGLAND MOTOR PARTS COMPANY (NEMPCO) AFTER RETURNING from the west coast and recognizing the need for a good parts distributor on the east coast. Working out of his basement in Dedham, Massachusetts, Larry built NEMPCO over the next five years before moving the company to its final location in Foxboro.

Larry followed a simple philosophy as he was building NEMPCO. He wanted Harley-Davidson® techs, people with Harley parts experience and anyone who had been involved with Harley to come work for him. He would teach them how to sell and give Harley-Davidson® riders an option when it came to the parts and accessories they needed to keep their rides running.

To start, he hired Charlie Hadayia, Sr. Known as “Charley Harley,” Charlie was the head of the outside sales team from 1974 through 1985 and made a name for himself thanks to his somewhat “aggressive” sales approach. Charlie came from the industry. He had been riding as a hobby since the age of 9 and was very familiar with Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. “I had my own small motorcycle shop for a while. When the

It brought new ideas, new inventions and new ways to look at the world. In 1971, a gallon of gas cost $0.40. The floppy disk was introduced by IBM. The first pocket calculator was released by Texas Instruments. The year also saw the launch of the company we now call Biker’s Choice, the trusted V-Twin aftermarket parts and accessory superstar.

TO HELP THE CONTINUAL GROWTH OF NEMPCO, BOB KAY CAME ON BOARD IN 1982 AS PLM. He started out as a customer while he was working with different motorcycle retail stores in Boston. “It was a tight knit community of motorcyclists,” Bob says. “I had just received my business degree, and I was looking for something new. Charlie got a hold of me and told me to talk to Larry. So I did. I invested in the company about a year later, took a lead position in NEMPCO and set off to help get some new, innovative product into our line,” he adds. “We were all into motorcycles and one of the best things about NEMPCO is that it was a very family-type business from the start.”

Bob is credited with developing some product lines that were “ahead of their time,” including a line of accessories for Gold Wing® models and Harley-Davidson® Touring models. While those two lines didn’t take off, there were plenty that did, including River Road®, Skid Lid® and Twin Power™, all of which are still going strong today.

“The team and the sales people were very important to Charlie, Larry and I. We did everything together and without them, we couldn’t build the company to what it became. We helped build the company’s reputation of providing quality and dependable parts and accessories because everyone of us lived the life. We all rode in one way or another, whether as a passenger, a rider or in a sidecar,” Bob says.

There were challenges in building NEMPCO into a thriving business during the ever-changing industry of the 1980s. NEMPCO focused on the quality of the product instead of the quantity of items they carried. The biggest challenge other than developing new product lines, meeting order accuracy and getting product to people on time was keeping NEMPCO in the forefront of the customers' minds.

One way they did this was through the annual Laconia, New Hampshire, motorcycle rally. This rally was a destination for everyone at NEMPCO and it started out at Bob Kay’s Victorian house in Wrentham, Massachusetts. Employees, spouses and Bob’s family would meet there for breakfast and discuss the trip, typically a two hour ride that was much longer because of “pit stops.” Non-riding employees would drive the company van with the equipment for NEMPCO and Bob’s father would ride in a sidecar with cases of beer.

“Once we got to Laconia, we would set up the NEMPCO custom bike show at The Fun Spot, an arcade and amusement area down the street from the famous Weirs Beach. It took all of us to set up the bike show, which we all staffed, in order to register entrants, pick our judges and administer the whole thing,” James Simonelli, Brand Manager for Twin Power™, recalls. “Picking the right trophy girls was also required and meant late nights in questionable establishments.

closed up shop and started with them, traveling around the USA and Canada going door-to-door with a four-page, handmade catalog to build our clientele,” Charlie states.

The company continued to grow and by 1982 it was ready to look at adding product to their existing product line. “We wanted to separate ourselves from others. We came up with Biker’s Choice for the parts and Style Glide for the wheels,” Charlie says.

" We all rode in one way or another..."

In 1982, NEMPCO launched their wholesale line of high-quality replacement motor parts for dealers. They called this line Twin Power™ and it initially acted as a separate distribution company from NEMPCO. Twin Power’s product line quickly became synonymous with quality and performance at a fair price.

“Back then, Harley-Davidson® riders were a tight knit group. They were loyal to the brand but at times found they couldn’t always afford the parts for their motorcycles,” Bob Kay says. He played on this while helping build Twin Power™ and created various kits that would work with one type of motorcycle. Each kit included parts and accessories that weren’t readily available except through Harley®. The kits were a big success and helped establish Twin Power™ as a line that focused on the quality of the materials used and the good value of the product.

NEMPCO CONTINUED TO THRIVE UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF LARRY CUPOLA and Bob Kay. In 1985, Hadayia, Sr. departed the company for six years returning to work on product research right before Tucker Rocky expressed interest in NEMPCO and working on product research. Tucker Rocky was interested in breaking into the V-Twin market and turned to NEMPCO after a less than successful attempt on their own. They purchased NEMPCO in 1992, at which time Larry retired and Bob remained on as VP and general manager until 2002.

“Our name kept popping up thanks to the reputation we had established so Tucker Rocky opened a dialogue with us.

2016 45 YEARS STRONG

READY TO RIDE!

We went from a small, tight knit group of motorcycle enthusiasts to part of a large corporation,” Bob recalls. “We had some growing pains, like blending three different systems into one and staff training. Tucker Rocky really helped us grow and gave us the resources we needed.”

While NEMPCO was a well-recognized and respected name, it was formally changed to Biker’s Choice in 1998. “I went back into sales when Tucker Rocky bought NEMPCO. The changes that occurred from the buyout really gave the Biker’s Choice name a breath of fresh air and the lift we needed to keep it going and recognized in the industry,” says Charlie Sr.

Charlie retired when the company went computerized, but the love of Biker’s Choice remained in the family. Charles Hadayia, Jr. joined Tucker Rocky as the Director of New Business Development in 2010 and now heads Merchandising

We did the show every year and made it a premier event of the rally. We had fun, handed out trophies for all the classes and donated the proceeds to charity.”

In 1992, Bob brought James Simonelli aboard at NEMPCO. “James was family. We did bike shows together, other events, fundraisers for MDA where our vendors contributed prizes for handouts. It was great because we all rode and that was a bond between us,” Bob recollects fondly.

James has been around motorcycles all his life. “Bob Kay really mentored me during my time at NEMPCO and working with Twin Power™. I still live by a lot of the things he taught me and bring that experience to the table to help Twin Power™ continue to grow, to be innovative and to solve problems that keep the company moving forward,” James says.

When Tucker Rocky bought NEMPCO, they also acquired Twin Power™. Over the years, the line has lost some of its momentum, but James Simonelli who has returned to be Twin Power's Brand Manager again, and who has previously worked for S&S Cycles® and Baker™ Drivetrain, is determined to change that. “We just launched a new catalog for Twin Power™, the first in more than 20 years, and the response has been fantastic. We are really moving forward and reminding everyone that we are still here and better than ever,” says James.

MADE IN THE USATwin Power™ is dedicated to using the best materials for all of its products, including its line of lubricants designed specifically for American V-Twin engines all of which are made in the USA. “Twin Power™ oil is not just another repackaged oil, but specifically developed for its application. An oil for an air-cooled American V-Twin has unique needs. The oil must have extreme heat resistance, resistance to extreme pressure and resistance to heat cycles. This requires a completely different base stock than, say, a liquid-cooled metric engine,” says James. “The additive package chosen is also unique, including anti-friction additives, extreme pressure additives, anti-shear additives, viscosity improvers and dispersants and inhibitors to control combustion by-products. Hours of laboratory testing are required to validate the finished product to make sure it’s better than the competition. The same parameters are used in the development of all our lubricants, including transmission oil, primary oil and suspension fluids.”

When you use Twin Power™ products, you not only keep your motorcycle in top shape, you are also helping keep the American economy going. That’s something we can all take pride in.

for Tucker Rocky/Biker’s Choice as a whole, with Aaron Whitney taking on the role of V-Twin Segment Director. James Simonelli took on the role of Brand Manager for Twin Power™ in 2015.

With the release of the 2016 Biker’s Choice catalog, an additional 3,600 SKUs was added to an already impressive portfolio of parts and accessories, including items for Indian motorcycles. “Charlie and I are both proud of the history and legacy of Biker’s Choice,” says Bob Kay. “45 years is an accomplishment in today’s world, a world much different than it was when we started. We helped it grow and it’s great to see it still going strong.”

“Biker’s Choice is still following the philosophy we started with: by bikers for bikers,” says Charlie Hadayia, Sr. “That philosophy will keep the company going for at least another 45.”

BATES FOOTWEAR GETS PROPS FROM MOTORCYCLE.COM

ONE OF THE NEWEST ADDITIONS TO THE TUCKER ROCKY/BIKER’S CHOICE EXCLUSIVE PRODUCT LINE, Bates Footwear, has been getting a lot of media attention. The popular line of footwear is made from high-performance, full-grain leather with Poron XRD® impact foam. They are waterproof, feature molded heel protection and toe shift reinforcement and have an oil- and slip-resistant rubber outsole. One of the biggest selling points is the lace restraint that keeps your laces where they belong and not tangled up in moving parts.

Tom Roderick over at Motorcycle.com gave the Bates Adrenaline riding boots (opposite page) a good workout, wearing them to the media day at Long Beach IMS in November and then for the next four months.

The verdict?

Roderick says they are the most comfortable riding boots he has ever owned. He was surprised at that since he admits he has larger than normal feet – "dogs" as he calls them – and fallen arches. However, he goes on to say that the boots are flexible, lightweight and great for wearing on and off the motorcycle. He wished all moto boots fit as well as Bates.

He describes the Adrenaline riding boots as looking adventurous but being perfect for the “café crowd.” Incidentally, the high-impact Poron XRD® foam protects the inside and outside of the ankle. Roderick was pretty pleased with the overall durability and construction of the boot and went on to say that visitors to Motorcycle.com will see his Adrenalines “popping up in a lot of future bike reviews” as he has no intention of retiring them any time soon.

We think that’s a great thing!

BR: Congrats on the win at the Inaugural Harley-Davidson® Lone Star Half-Mile at Circuit of The Americas. Was this the track that thwarted your win at the Summer X Games in 2015 and how did you feel coming back to it?

Yes. This is the track that I broke down on during the last lap of the X games last year.

I felt confident going back to it. We picked up the win, but the X Games isn’t here yet. Winning the Grand National was rewarding, and I feel really good about going into the X Games. I am looking forward to it since I’ve been dominating this track this year.

RIDER SPOTLIGHT SHAYNA TEXTER

GROWING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AMISH COUNTRY IN THE HEART OF PENNSYLVANIA, Shayna Texter is used to the beautiful scenery and horse-drawn wagons. She’s also spent her life on the seat of a bike, starting with indoor races at the age of 3. She has long since moved on from those indoor concrete tracks to flat track racing and is taking the racing world by storm.

Beth Rauch with HardTales recently had a chance to catch up with Shayna, who is sponsored by Tucker Rocky/Biker’s Choice.

BR: How was the transition from concrete to dirt?

It wasn’t hard. I used to trail ride as a kid. My dad had a track at the back of the Harley shop in Lancaster and then on the farm he purchased.

BR: You obviously have a favorite track by now. Where is the track and what do you find so exciting about it?

Knoxville, Iowa, is my favorite track. It has a special place in my heart, as I won my first pro-race there and then my first Grand National AMA Pro Singles Main Event there the following year. I also won the AMA GNC Expert Twins Main Event in Knoxville. It also has some family history. My grandfather is in the Hall of Fame for sprint cars on turn two.

I also really like mile tracks, like Sacramento and Springfield. They really fit with my size and the type of bike I ride.

BR: 2014 was your rookie year in the GNC1 ranks. What has been the biggest challenge for you in the GNC1?

Finding a twin that fits my size. I’m the smallest rider on the circuit right now! The other challenge is building up my confidence. I still get pre-race jitters and can’t help thinking, “Holy cow, I’m racing with the best!”

BR: What’s been your greatest life achievement so far other than the race wins?

I received the Most Dedicated Rider award in 2010 and the Most Outstanding Performance award in 2011. These are special awards that were given to me out of all of the pro and experts riders. I have also won Female Rider of the Year in the amateur ranks.

BR: What inspires you to keep racing?

For me, one of the biggest things that inspires me is the other girls, the fans and other riders coming up to me and telling me that I inspire them.

BR: What are your goals coming into the 2016 season?

With a brand new team on brand new bikes, I am looking forward to getting back into the main events and becoming a contender. I’d like to get a couple top 15s this year and some top 10s.

BR: What advice would you give young women trying to break into racing?

Never give up. I’ve been through some hard times, and I never thought I would win 8 pro races. I’m still not sure how I did it, but I know I never gave up no matter what.

BR: You said you had a so-so Daytona. What happened down there?

Daytona has been okay for me, bad, so-so. It depends on the year. I’ve never went out very often in Daytona and while I’ve had a few wins there, I’ve never had the whole package. It wasn’t as rewarding getting a 4th or 9th place finish after being on the podium.

BR: What’s the next race for you and how do you feel about the track?

I’ll be racing on a new track in Arizona. No one has raced on it yet so it will be pretty interesting. The next four races are all on mile tracks. Two of them are new to me, and two of them familiar. Then I have the X Games coming up. I’m very excited. I’m going to be pretty busy from the middle of May through June.

BR: You’ve been racing since you were very young. Did you find it hard to get into a sport that was so male dominated?

I’ve been around racing all of my life. I started out competing in indoor races and, in 2003, I went full-time running the dirt tracks. I’ve always raced against guys so it wasn’t hard for me to break into the sport. When I went pro it was more challenging because the guys were more aggressive in their racing and the speed was faster. It was hard at first because I had lost my dad and he was really the one I relied on and trusted. It took time to get used to asking others, including my competitors, for advice and guidance.

NEIGHBOR HATER MUFFLERS FOR DRESSERSFits 95-16 Dressers630911Retail: $420.00

Baffle 630714Retail: $39.95

NEIGHBOR HATER EXHAUSTThe new NH Series by Cobra is not for the faint of heart. These are an aggressive slip-on muffler, for those who think loud just isn't good enough. These mufflers start as round 4 in. tubes, then bell out to 4.5 in., for an aggressive and classic design at the rear. The muffler tip is then rolled to give them a clean, finished look. Internally, these NH mufflers have a spun and louvered baffle, but only for 8-inches. This is done in order to produce an aggressive, bark. At the end of the baffle is a trumpet-shaped inner tip that works in harmony with the belled end, creating a unique look. Mufflers for those riders who think that too loud is just about right. That shape adds a megaphone enhancement to the sound and the spiraled louvered core exits in a trumpet-bell shape that allows the V-Twin sound track to flow at full song. The sound quality hits the perfect Harley-Davidson® rumble that resonates deeply within every V-Twin rider. There will also be a quieter core option for those who enjoy the look, but don’t hate their neighbors. Visit TRDealer.com for fitment.

INFORMATION ABOUT FEDERAL AND STATE NOISE AND EMISSIONS LAWSFederal and state noise and emissions laws regulate modifications that affect emissions from motor vehicles, including motorcycles. Before purchasing any emissions-related products for use in California, you should carefully review the information provided herein as California law prohibits the installation and use of many after market emissions-related parts on California highways, and authorizes the recovery of substantial fines and penalties against those who violate California emissions laws. Modifications that increase vehicle emissions can be illegal in certain states in addition to California.

• The exhaust parts in this catalog are generally not legal for sale, or use in California, unless such parts are installed on vehicles that did not come originally equipped with a catalytic converter OR such parts either have received Executive Order (“EO” from CARB’s Executive Officer or are installed on racing vehicles which are never used upon California highways. Do not purchase,sell, install or use any of the exhaust parts in this catalog in California unless you have determined that on or more of these conditions apply. End use customers should check with the manufacturers of their vehicles or CARB to determine whether such vehicles came originally equipped with catalytic converters.• California law generally prohibits the removal of catalytic converters from motorcycles that are used in California. • In California, it is generally illegal to replace an OEM exhaust part that contains a catalytic converter with an after market part that does not contain a catalytic converter.• Aftermarket exhaust parts intended for installation on non-catalyst equipped motorcycles are generally presumed to be legal for sale, installation and use in California.• Aftermarket slip-on mufflers that do not contain catalytic converters are generally legal for use in California unless the muffler being replaced contained a catalyst.• Aftermarket exhaust parts that contain catalytic converters are generally illegal for sale, installation and use unless they have been exempted and certified by CARB’s Executive Officer. Lists of exempted products are available on CARB’s website and can be accessed via the hyper links provided below• California’s air pollution control requirements do not generally apply to “racing vehicles,” which are used in closed course competitions and are never used on California highways. “Add-on” and “Modified” Parts California emissions laws prohibit the installation, sale, advertising, and on- and off-highway use of any “add-on” or “modified” emissions-related part (e.g., exhaust parts or systems) on any pollution-controlled vehicle unless either (a) the part has received an exemption from the Executive Officer (“EO”) of the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) or (b) the part is installed on a racing vehicle which is never used upon a highway. See California Vehicle Code §§ 27156 and 38391; see also 13 CCR §§ 2220-2225 (“aftermarket parts”regulations). An “emissions-related part” is defined to mean “any automotive part, which affects any regulated emissions from a motor vehicle which is subject to California or federal emissions standards.” 13 CCR § 1900(3). A “modified part” is defined to mean “any aftermarket part intended to replace an original equipment emissions-related part and which is not functionally identical to the original equipment part in all respects which in any way affect emissions, excluding a consolidated part.” 13 CCR § 1900(b)(14). An “add-on” part is defined to mean “any aftermarket part which is not a modified part or a replacement part.” A “racing vehicle” is defined to mean “ a competition vehicle not used on public highways.” California Health & Safety Code § 43001.

A “replacement part” is defined to mean “any after market part intended to replace an original equipment emission-related part and which is functionally identical to the original equipment part in all respects which in any way affect emissions.”13 CCR § 1900(b)(20). Replacement parts are presumed to be legal for use on pollution controlled vehicles and do not require CARB exemptions. See 13 CCR § 2221; see also CARB’s “Replacement Parts Guidelines – After market, Performance and Add-On Parts Regulations.”

In California, exhaust systems (headers or mufflers) intended for installation on non-catalyst equipped motorcycles are considered by CARB to be “replacement parts” and comply with emissions regulations enforced by CARB, provided that all emission controls originally connected to the exhaust manifold are reconnected to the exhaust system and are functioning properly. Similarly, “ slip-on”mufflers are generally legal for use in California as “replacement parts” unless the muffler being replaced contained a catalyst. Before purchasing any exhaust products in this catalog, check with the vehicle manufacturer to determine whether the vehicle came originally equipped with a catalytic converter. Before purchasing any slip-on muffler products in this catalog, check with the vehicle manufacturer to determine whether the OEM muffler contains a catalyst.

CARB Executive Orders The manufacturers of after market “add-on” and “modified” parts are responsible for obtaining exemptions from CARB. Any “add-on” or “modified” emissions-related parts contained in this catalog that are subject to noise or emissions laws may or may not have been evaluated and/or exempted by CARB or other applicable enforcement agencies.

For a list of CARB Executive Orders by device (except for catalytic converters), see http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/amquery.php

Disclaimer As a distributor, Tucker Rocky makes no representation or warranty with respect to whether the items in this catalog are legal for sale, installation or on-highway use in California or in any other state. Customers that purchase, install, and use the emissions-related products in this catalog must comply with all applicable laws. When purchasing, installing and using add-on or modified after market parts, the purchaser is responsible for ensuring that such parts are “replacement parts,” have received CARB exemptions or will be installed on racing vehicles which are never used upon California highways. Consult with the manufacturer as to any such exemptions before purchasing any add-on or modified emissions-related parts for use in California or elsewhere.

For additional information about the sale and use of aftermarket exhaust systems in California, see the Motorcycle Industry Council’s responses to “Frequently Asked Questions about aftermarket Exhaust Systems for Motorcycles and ATVs in California.
