My name is Tammy Pierre (AKA Smiley :) ) and as I was given the opportunity to tell you about a co-worker and friend, Deano Swims. I have worked with Deano for many years now and we haven’t always seen eye to eye on things (we fight like brother and sister), he has been a good friend to me and I’m thankful for that. He really is a gentle giant and kind hearted too. Deano’s motorcycle adventure began in the 1970’s when he began racing motocross where he won many races. Then he started racing on pavement and won numerous road racing and endurance championships in AMA, CCS and Were throughout the early to mid eighties. Deano’s been involved in the motorcycle business for 30 plus years has always been involved with racetrack activities and was an instructor for several racing schools, including Dave Sadowski/Team Desmo, Ed Bargy, Jamie James Champions riding school and a few schools of his own. He currently works with me at Griffith Cy
