Metropolitan Motor Club with Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance

Join us for the Metropolitan Motor Club, Tuesday, March 18, from 5:30-8 p.m, with local motorcycle entrepreneur Les Moscariello.

Moscariello owns The Powersports Store dealership known for its exceptional service department and newly-added line of Triumph Motorcycles.

A Navy veteran and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, Les opened The Powersports Store in 2017 with the goal of providing quality service, an aspect he felt was lacking in the industry.

Moscariello’s love for motorcycles started at an early age.

“Oddly enough, growing up as a kid, I was never allowed to have one,” he laughs.

Immediately after high school, he joined the Navy and bought a 1990 Yamaha FZR 600. A few weeks later, he rode his bike from southern Florida to his station in California.

“Back then, there was no internet, no cell phones, none of that… No GPS, no credit card. Just maps and cash,” Les told Powersports Business magazine. He later worked with another Italian helmet importer, started an F&I company with a partner, then managed a parts departments for a dealer group in North Carolina.

In 1992, he began road racing where he was stationed in Hawaii, and after serving in the Navy, he continued to focus on racing. In 1996, he worked for AGV America as a race supporter specialist and in product design and development.

“I was the guy they sent to AMA pro races to take care of Mat Mladin, The Bostrom Brothers, Kurtis Roberts, Jason Pridmore, Steve Crevier… I would have done that job for free,” he laughs.

With the support of his wife, Olga, Les opened The Powersports Store as a preowned dealership. He wanted his business to be known for its good work in service and grow through this department. The dealership began to earn a good reputation--and repeat customers.

When Triumph became available in the Cincinnati area, Moscariello believed it was a perfect fit. “I love the premium quality of the brand,” Les shares. He and his son, AJ, who also works at the dealership, visited the Triumph headquarters in Atlanta before becoming an official Triumph dealer.
