Debbie
Operations Manager
Name Debbie
Title Operations Manager
I have been with Cycle Country for over 30 years now. I started out as Parts Manager in February 1981. At that time we had one additional parts person, and an Accessory Manager. We have grown a lot since those early days thanks to our loyal customers. As the youngest daughter of Johnny and Janice Roner I have been involved in the motorcycle business in one way or another all of my life. When I was very little I used to go to work with my dad at Roner’s Cycle on Fairgrounds Road and demo a Schwinn tricycle that we had for sale around the showroom floor while waiting for the nursey school van to pick me up. It still makes me smile when I see your children come in and ride our demo Strider around the floor.
I have been the Operations Manager here for the last 20 years since my parents retired and love working here. People ask me when I am going to retire and my answer is, never! It is fun to work in an industry that brings relaxation, stress relief, and happiness to so many people. As Operations Manager I oversee the financial operation of the business and the internal workings of the dealership. I miss the one on one contact with our customers I had when I was working in parts, but I enjoy being part of the management team and being involved in the inner workings of all the departments. I sit upstairs in front of the window overlooking the showroom floor. Give me a wave next time you come in.
Edward
Sales Manager
Name Edward
Title Sales Manager
My name is Edward. I am a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by my mystery. In my off time I slay dragons, to rescue princesses that have been locked away in towers.
My introduction to the world of motorcycles started at the age of six. My father took me along to an auction house in Woodburn, and one of the items that rolled up for sale was a Honda Z50R. We ended up with that little bike that day, and I have been in love with motorcycles ever since. Since then I have owned enough motorcycles that I lost track about ten years ago. Currently I will ride just about anything with two wheels. I don't care if I am carving canyons draggin knee, touring the country, or getting through town on a scooter. So long as I am on two, I am happy. I am a firm believer in you need to love what you do, and do what you love. I came to the Cycle Country family by way of the Audio Video world.
Currently I perform many duties for the store and wear a myriad of different hats depending on the need and the day. As Sales Manager I help to direct other sales staff. I do a majority of the marketing for the store and manage our social media sites as well as web page. I also play the role of relief F&I assistant from time to time. I am also the person that gets to greet and talk to you if you happen to be looking for a career with Cycle Country. Among all these other duties, oftentimes I even get to be a janitor.
Thanks for taking a moment to learn a little more about me. One last thing. All you hipsters need to stop wearing Nirvana shirts if you don’t even listen to them. Jus’ sayin.
Shae
Business Manager
Name Shae
Title Business Manager
Well hello!!! My name is Shae A.K.A white can Rockstar addict, mom of two blonde-haired blue eyedgirlies, Wifey to my tough and buff hubby, Adult babysitter to my favorite sales staff, and spoiled chick that stunt doubles as a super nice and friendly Business Manager. They call me the “Business Manager” because “full time multi-tasking ninja” is not an actual job title.
Growing up I never quite knew what I wanted to be, so I tried jobs from the fun go lucky restaurant server to the prisoner of a cubicle. I would say I won the lottery in 2001 when I landed a job in a motorcycle store!!! The Dream job I never knew I wanted.
I grew up a small town girl riding motorcycles and playing in the dirt with the boys. Still to this day I am the tough chick that loves off-road rock crawling in our Jeep, camping, s’mores, boating, and hanging out with my friends and family….aside from outdoor adventures I do love hanging with my favorite girlfriends shopping, going to dinner, hitting the dance floor and having some drinks.
Come by and say hi sometime!! I would love to meet you, and if I already have I would love to say hi!!!! ?

Shane
Sales Professional
Name Shane
Title Sales Professional
My name is Shane. I grew up in southern Oregon, about an hour out in the country from Klamath Falls. I started riding dirt bikes at the age of 6. My first bike was a 1980 Yamaha MX80, which I fouled the plug in every other day. From there I quickly learned how to ride/drive anything that had off road capabilities. Dirt bikes, ATV's, snowmobiles, and even a "go kart" Honda used to make called an Odyssey. I rode until I graduated, and then I got out of dodge; left my hometown and state, and enlisted in the military. I was stationed in Hawai'i for 5 years as a helicopter mechanic, and when I got out of the service I went into industrial maintenance. That's what I've done up until now, and now I have returned to something I was very passionate about, and am rediscovering my passion. With everything I've done in life, the craziest is jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 15,000ft with a stranger strapped to my back. Come say hi when you come bye!

Morgan
Sales Professional
Name Morgan
Title Sales Professional
Hey, I’m Morgan! I grew up in the country and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love being surrounded by nature, wide open spaces, and animals. They are a big part of my life.
When I’m not working or hanging out at home, you’ll probably find me doing something outdoors. I’m big into riding dirt bikes, especially out on the dunes. I also love hunting, fishing, and when winter rolls around, I’m all about snowboarding. There’s just something about being outside, doing what I love, that keeps me grounded and fired up at the same time. Even with all of that I definitely have a girly side to me. It’s all about balance right?
Life’s better when it’s a little wild, a little muddy, and full of adventure with a touch of glam.

In addition to grown this impressively massive and sometimes unkept beard, I also enjoy growing plants of all kinds. Some of them that border on the very unusual variety. Food forest gardening is something that really interests me and trying to grow as much food as I can on my city lot.

Name Rich
Title Service Tech
My name is Rich, A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Actually it was here in Salem in 1989 that my love of motorcycles started on my 2nd birthday with my first ATV. I got my first taste of this life then and it has been in my blood ever since. I went to Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix, AZ right out of high school and started working at cycle country in 2007 as soon as I was done with school. I have been turning wrenches here ever since. I have had numerus motorcycles in my life and I will have many more. I don’t understand people that have never ridden motorcycles or ATV’s, yes they can be dangerous but if you don’t have some danger in life- is it really even living? You will never think more clear than inside a helmet at 70mph.
I will finish with this tidbit, you have never seen me and batman in the same place at the same time and I will just leave you to marinate with that thought.
