It might seem an odd pairing, but local Jim Barker, who’s in the cleaning supply business, is also cleaning up on the national motorcycle track racing circuit. Barker, owner of 45-yead-old local supply firm The Green Company (their vans claim, “If it’s in stock, we’ve got it!”), won the 2021 and 2023 AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) point series, riding the likes of an FZ Yamaha 750 and Triumph Daytona, and other Next Gen Super Bikes. “I just grew up with motors and always thought road racing was the coolest thing ever,” says Barker, who this spring headed off to another race in Palm Springs, Calif. “It’s just such a blast. And it’s great to go to a race in the off-season.” And you know that if you enlist his services for cleaning supplies they’ll like get delivered fast.
