The husband-and-wife team of Derrick and Krista Smith turned their passion into a new motorcycle business recently in Longmont, Colorado, near Boulder, according to a report in the Longmont Leader. The couple opened the shop in a grand opening full of supporters, which is a testament to their efforts to support the community as much as their craftsmanship.

“This is a longtime dream,” Smith told the newspaper. “To be involved with all my friends and my family, and all of them, pulling everything they got to make it happen so quickly.”

Before a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new shop (Located at 945 Main St., Longmont, Colorado), Smith recounted his journey to the founding of Grandude’s Motorcycle Shop and his passion for both the community and the motorcycle industry.
