Most recently Szlagowski managed the UK/European sales offices of MAG Europe and before that a prominent Harley dealer in London. Operating in the heart of the London custom scene has given Martin a unique perspective deep relationships in that space.
“I’ve known and worked with Martin for years, I value his experience and I am excited to have him on the S&S crew. His industry experience and connections in the dealer network make him a valuable addition to our expanding team.” States S&S Vice President Paul Devine.
Martin is based near London and is already working and traveling on behalf of S&S Cycle in the region.
Martin kicked off his V-Twin career by attending school at MMI in Phoenix, AZ and then through the H-D Service School and then H-D Business Classes at Juneau Ave, Milwaukee, WI.
In his youth he was an avid Motorcycle Road Racer but found his abilities were better suited to the performance side of the motorcycle. This in turn lead to working with Professional racers in the Motorsports arena. A highlight was working on the Buell Factory Team with former MotoGP star Jeremy McWilliams. They formed a close relationship and carried on working together for many teams and manufactures in paddocks around the world.
“ I couldn’t be more excited about joining S&S Cycle, an iconic brand with a rich history in Proven Performance and innovation. The leadership team there have a vision for the future and I am glad to be on that journey with them & especially when they are celebrating their 60th year in the Performance Business.”
Outside of work Martin still attends motorcycle racing events from Flat Track to MotoGP, catching up with friends from the paddock and to watch truly talented racers battle it out on track. What could be more fun !
