We are excited to feature a guest post from long-time friend of ProCycle and owner of Moto-Mule, Mike Gould!

My name is Mike Gould, I operate Moto-Mule LLC in Springfield, Oregon USA. Long before I became a vendor to ProCycle, I was a customer. Back in 1999, I worked for a company that built small electric vehicles for commuting around town. ProCycle sourced quality scooter wheels and tires for us, built us custom long-length brake cables, and supplied several other generic motorcycle parts that outfitted our vehicles. Back then, ProCycle had no real internet presence; it was a small town motorcycle shop that survived by offering quality service.

Fast forward a decade plus to 2012 and you would have found me as an employee at ProCycle. By this time, ProCycle had grown and found its niche in the customization of dual sport motorcycles, especially the Suzuki DR650. While working at ProCycle, I fell in love with the infamous Yamaha TW200 and led the charge on expanding the offering of parts for that motorcycle.

During that time, I was also running my own small metal fabrication shop and building tiny cargo trailers that could be pulled by dual sport motorcycles. In fact, I developed several custom parts that ProCycle now sells under their brand, including cargo racks, side panel guards, footpeg adapters, and more.

In 2016, I left ProCycle as a full time employee to work in my fabrication shop full time, but I've been back there at least once as an employee. I just can't seem to stay away!

Today, I still make many of the parts that I developed while working at ProCycle, plus several more. I also create content for my YouTube channel. Please go check it out! In my free time, you can find me riding motorcycles in the woods with my sons or building a motorized toy in my shop.
