ATVPT

Ed Tucker began selling motor oil to motorcycle shops in the Dallas, Texas area in 1967. Soon, he leased space in a building that had once been a bowling alley and started adding new product lines. In 1972, Bob Nickell bought the company and in a few years began expanding rapidly across the U.S. The 1986 acquisitions of Wheelsport Distributing and Rocky Cycle added more capabilities, professional staff, and expanded services.

In 1989, Lacy Diversified Industries (LDI, Ltd.) of Indianapolis, Indiana acquired Tucker Rocky. LDI was once one of the largest container companies in America. After selling the core business in the 1980s, the Lacy family focused on building a group of closely held, distribution-based companies that were leaders in their respective industries.

After LDI purchased Tucker Rocky, resources were channeled to acquire NEMPCO (now Biker's Choice); a leading Harley-Davidson® aftermarket wholesaler, Malcolm Smith Racing (MSR); a leading off-road motorcycling distributor and apparel brand, and Answer Racing; a motocross apparel and parts company.

Today, Tucker Rocky operates throughout the world serving the needs of powersports retailers and enthusiasts.

ATVPT Director Patrick Saunders, attended the annual Tucker Rocky Sales Event located in a discreet location in Texas, June 02 through June 04, 2006.

I was told by people in the know that if you have not seen it at the Indy Power Sports Show, it will be at the Tucker Rocky Event (featured in either the Dealer Expo or the Vendor Showcase).

I have visited the numerous vendors, over 84. I am making the ATVPT presence know to those that are working with us, and to those that might want to work with us in the future.

I have taken lots of pictures and posted them like I did with the Indy Power Sports Show. This was an exciting event and we are very honored to be invited by Tucker Rocky to attend this years annual event.

I have uncovered some very hot news at this this event! I saw some exciting new products, revealed during my stay. I have captured these products on camera, so you can say you saw them first at ATVPT.
