Racer Brooks Gremmels, who owns Shogun Motorsports, placed the winning bid on Nicky Hayden’s leathers in an eBay auction to benefit the Roadracing World Air Fence Fund.

Gremmels, who won the auction with a bid of $3650, e-mailed Roadracing World with the news that Hayden’s suit will be put on display along with other road racing memorabilia at Shogun Motorsports’ soon-to-open high performance shop in Dallas, Texas.

“It’s an honor to have the leathers of a future World Champion road racer and former CMRA member. The fact that the money goes to protecting the safety of our fellow racers makes it that much better,” wrote Gremmels.

Due to open in mid-January, Shogun Motorsports’ shop will be located within the Motion Cycle Sports Yamaha Super Store located at the intersection of LBJ Freeway and Plano Road in Dallas. The facility will be equipped with “everything you need to build a serious motorcycle” including a machine shop and a state-of-the-art dyno room. The dyno room, which Gremmels says cost more than the dyno itself, will include a ventilation system to keep the air in the room fresh for dyno pulls. Customers will also be able to watch their bike being dynoed thanks to a closed-circuit TV system feeding flat-screen TV monitors in the shop’s lounge area. Other monitors will show the computer information for each dyno run.

Gremmels is planning a star-studded Grand Opening for the shop, possibly in conjunction with the EA Sports Supercross race scheduled for April 20 in Dallas, Texas.
