Jarred Fixler wasn’t always involved in the motorcycle industry. Growing up in rural Connecticut, Fixler first got involved in motorsports when he started ditching middle school to sweep the floors of a Porsche shop. He did this so he could be around the automotive artwork and hardware he had admired since childhood. This lead to a short car racing career before jumping on his first two-wheeled machine at age 17. Ever since, motorcycles has been his true passion.

Fixler founded Motorsport Exotica in the basement of his house after observing the high demand of repair and modification in the local sportbike market. The shop regularly housed nearly 10 bikes and averaged three custom build projects per year.
