For Immediate Release

April 2010 Alton, VA – TMI AutoTech, Inc. is pleased to announce a new and exciting association with Eddie Hill’s Fun Cycles of Wichita Falls, TX.  This new partnership will see Eddie Hill’s Fun Cycles represent the Ariel Atom brand as the Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas exclusive dealer.

Eddie Hill’s Fun Cycles is a well established business with 44 years of service as a motorcycle, ATV, and powersports dealer maintaining the Better Business Bureau highest rating of A+.  The dealership will provide sales and service for the new Ariel Atom 3, as well as provide sales, service, and support to existing Ariel Atom 2 owners.

Eddie Hill’s Fun Cycles was opened in 1966 by Eddie Hill who has since gone on to become famous in the world of North American motorsport.  Eddie is the only racer to have set official National Records as the fastest and quickest in the sport of drag racing and has also won World Championships in Top Fuel cars as well as Top Fuel boats.  One of Eddie’s most notable accomplishments came in 1988 when he was the first person to officially run the ¼ mile in under 5 seconds!

After retirement from full time racing Eddie continues to be very active at his dealership along with his wife Ercie.  When not at work Eddie continues to spend free time at the race track and can routinely be found with his own personal Ariel Atom at local race tracks turning some very quick laps.

“Our new partnership with Eddie Hill’s Fun Cycles builds on an already enthusiastic dealer network of genuine automotive enthusiasts…and to add a motorsport legend into the mix is fantastic!” states Mark Swain, V.P. Sales and Marketing for TMI AutoTech, Inc.  “If the Ariel Atom can satisfy the need for speed of someone who was routinely running from 0-320mph in 4.5 seconds….that says a lot about the performance capabilities of the Atom 3!”

Spill the beans,Eddie, and give us the specs on your "demo"..

Sounds like Eddie's going to join the Honda club.  Could be interesting.  Or, will he just cut the BS and strap into an Atom 500?  Seems appropriate...

"Or, will he just cut the BS and strap into an Atom 500?"

  I agree..very fitting.

First Shinoo, now Eddie. Seems like TMI have their act together which can only be encouraging for US owners.

I though Tom S. has become an authorized service and repair provider?  So it's not Washington, but he's a lot closer to you than Eddie!

And best wishes, Eddie, on the new venture!
