The Huffman family came to Lakeland in 1957, where Don worked as a motorcycle mechanic at the local Harley-Davidson shop. 14 years later they had an opportunity to buy the business. On April 1st, 1971, they purchased the Harley-Davidson dealership in Lakeland Florida.

For over 37 years, they've been Lakeland's only factory authorized Harley-Davidson dealership. The family owned business expanded and finally outgrew the original 5,000 square foot shop. A huge 22,000 sq. ft. store was built to handle the growing ranks of Harley-Davidson riders.
