Kearney Yamaha Featured in Dealer News

            Congratulations to Gene Freeze owner of Kearney Yamaha for being the featured dealer in the August 2004 Dealer News.  Dealer News is the most respected business magazine in the Motorcycle and ATV industry.  Gene was one of the founding members and organizers of the Nebraska Off Highway Vehicle Association. 

            Gene become involved in the business when he took a mail correspondence course on motorcycle repair. He opened his first shop in 1981 as Central Nebraska Motorcycle Repair in Lexington Nebraska and became a Yamaha dealer in 1982.  In 1986 Freeze moved his dealership into a 12,000 sq foot scrap iron building in Kearney and renamed it Kearney Yamaha.  At that location he became one of the biggest Yamaha dealers in the nation.  Several years later he purchased The Sportsman’s Hangout, the local Honda dealer. 

            In 2002 he moved Kearney Yamaha to a new, 22,000 sq. ft. custom built location at the Kearney Interstate 80 interchange.  The new store is situated on 10 acres.  Behind the store is a four acre jet ski demo lake and repair test pond.  Next to the pond is a good sized sand based test track, perfect for trying out a new or used ATV or dirtbike. 

            Gene’s store also features the nations only three wheeler ATV museum.  Over 47 different three-wheelers and other ATVs are in display at the store. To take a quick tour of the store and the museum visit the www.nohva.com web site.
