given a good part of their life to operating a successful Powersports business in the state of Ohio, and are in an
enviable position to begin their retirement. We are fortunate that they believe in our business model and chose us
to purchase their business at this time.” Tammy Jones, Vice President of Iron Pony Motorsports Group states “McCune Cycle World is a well known six line
O.E.M. powersports dealership that sells Honda, Suzuki, Polaris, KTM, Victory & Kawasaki in the Northern Ohio
market. Our Pony Powersports® Group has had a smaller market dealership planned for many years and we feel
the greater Mansfield market is a good launching ground for this concept.” When asked for further information
on the smaller dealership concept, Frank Lark, Vice President of Marketing & Growth Manager responded “We
are excited to combine a mini-version of our Iron Pony Motorsports store with an established multi-line dealership.
Our small market powersports parts, apparel and accessories store will be called Iron Pony® Express, and
the former McCunes Cycle World, Inc powersports dealership will now fly under our Pony Powersports® Group flag.”
Adding further support to the small market hybrid dealership/retail store conversation, Alan Schatz,
Operations Manager commented ”We have operated three distinct sized businesses (Small, Mid-Sized & Superstore)
successfully over the history of our company, and are well versed in the unique opportunities we will face in
Mansfield, Ohio” McCune Cycle World, Inc operations will be fully
handed over to Iron Pony Motorsports Group in
