D & D Discount Motorcycles & Trike's

 D&D Discount Motorcycles is owned and operated by Mark DeSimone and Mark (Mel) Davies. Both partners worked for the former All Cycle Sales – Mel as General Manger and Mark as Service Manager – until the shop went out of business in January of 2004. They recognized the potential represented by their combined talents and experience, so they didn’t waste any time! D&D Discount Motorcycles opened its doors March 1, 2004. With their complementary backgrounds and shared commitment to 100% customer satisfaction, they had the foundation for a very strong, broad-based company. D&D has quickly developed a reputation for excellence. Mel has worked had to develop strong relationships with a wide variety of vendors - both big and small. If you're looking for a specific part or accessory, Mel is the guy you need to find it for you! Along with their active Accessories and Service departments, D&D is one of the Valley’s leading trike builders – Mark has constructed over 250 trikes in the past twelve years! If you have any needs in the touring and cruiser market, call on Mark and Mel to put their 30 years of experience to work for you!

Thank you. Mark & Mel

Mark DeSimone is one of the premier trike builders in the Valley. He has built more than 60 trikes over the past six years. People come from all over the world to have a trike built or customized by Mark. He has a special touch with them that you just won't find with anyone else. Despite Mark's phoenomenal reputation, D&D stays true to their goals and prices these beautiful, one-of-a-kind trikes at discount prices. One of our customers came all the way from Wisconsin to get their trike built by Mark. Even with the addition of the shipping costs, this customer still paid less money and got a much better trike with way more options than the one he was considering in his home town!

Well it never gets any easier even as we are all "grown up"  Its been Two years sinceI lost my Pal   James "Jiggs" Kovin. I use the term Pal because thats how my friend always referred to me as his Pal.My man Jiggs brought back that word Pal out of retirement and made it a word of value again We we met almost 10 years ago to the date I knew this was a good man, He was my friend, my mentor also as he always said he was my anger management guru....And he was  lol...When ever he would walk into the house he would always greet me the same   "Hows my man pots and pans...It became are regular saying along with some of the other nicknames he came up for me along with the crazy eyetie...We spent 9 great years together and building ourselfs quite a group of friends along the way.All of who always smiled when he came in the room.In life you get to meet a very few people like Jiggs and I realized what a great addition to my life he had become.My man you will never be forgotten as you were my PAL and loved you very much. Now my pal its time for you to rest and know you left a mark on the people that you have touched along the way even more than you could have ever figured.So rest in peace my friend and thank you for being you.....................Love always....... your man pots and pans

Portillo's ? Can't Wait !!!

Transplanted Chicagoans were downright giddy Tuesday at the news that Portillo’s Hot Dogs is looking to expand its restaurant chain to the Phoenix area.

Portillo’s is an icon in Chicagoland, loved and remembered by the tens of thousands of local residents who moved out of Illinois over the years to make Arizona their home.

You can include me in that bunch. I grew up eating the scrumptious Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches at the local Portillo’s just a few minutes away from where my parents still live in Naperville, Ill. And yes, I went to Portillo’s for lunch when I was back to visit for Christmas. That’s just what you do when you “go back.”

Portillo’s is looking to build new restaurants at Tempe Marketplace, Chandler Fashion Center and other locations in Phoenix or Scottsdale.

When word spread of the news yesterday, I received a handful of emails and Facebook messages about the news. Al Maag, chief communications officer at Phoenix-based Avnet Inc.    , is a Chicago native. He said one of the reasons he loves the Phoenix area is because there are so many Chicagoans here.

“I feel it’s the western suburbs of Chicago without the snow and traffic congestion,” he said.
Maag said there are thousands of hot dog stands in Chicago, but Portillo’s stands out.

“When I travel back to Chicago my first stop is Portillo’s for a beef sandwich and hot dog,” he said. “Heck, my family and I have it shipped here four times a year for special parties. I remember when In-N-Out came here the lines were pretty long. When Portillo’s comes it will be a happening of a higher magnitude. My guess is the last car will be in Tucson.”

Stephanie Lough, an account coordinator at HMA Public Relations    in Phoenix, didn’t grow up in the Chicago area, but she’s been bitten by the Portillo’s bug.
