About

Southern California Triumph began as the dream of Tom Hicks to create and open a different kind of motorcycle dealership. Tom’s long career in the Motorcycle Industry started in 1976. Then President of a Motorcycle Club, he started a small motorcycle service shop in his garage. He soon had more work than he could handle due to his philosophy of customer service and his attention to detail. He went to work at American Honda in 1980 as a motorcycle technician and quickly moved through the Customer Relations Department, Motorcycle Engineering Department and on to Motorcycle Product Research. There, he was able to put his talents to work introducing new models to the Press, doing product evaluation, public relations and even set World Endurance Records.

Still working toward his dream he took the position of General Manager of Race Tech in 1997. Tom led Race Tech into the Street Market and especially offering components for Triumphs. An avid enthusiast, Tom has toured, road raced, drag raced, competed in Trials and most forms of Motorcycle competition both on and off road. Tom attends Bike runs, Track days, Tours and Sport rides.

Tom had developed a sense of how a dealership should operate and has been appointed to the Advisory Board of Dealernews Magazine. Tom put his experience, enthusiasm, commitment and theories to work on April 4th, 2000 when Southern California Triumph opened for business. Within 16 months Southern California Triumph became the number one Triumph dealer in the nation.

In April 2003, Southern California Triumph expanded and opened Southern California Ducati. The concept to have each Brand separated and right next to each other. Each offering total commitment to the brand! Ducati North America presented the award for “Top new Ducati dealer in the U.S.” in 2003 and we were the number 5 selling Ducati dealer in the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006! In 2003 Tom was appointed Press Fleet Manager, by Ducati North America, and we are the Press Fleet Center for servicing and maintaining the Ducati Press Fleet.
