Sutherland said. It was 2004, and Victory had just two models out at that time. They were looking to expand the dealer network, and Sutherland wanted to come on board. “They signed me up!” Sutherland’s dealership, Coastal Victory, was a great success. His efforts earned his shop a spot as one of the top five dealerships in the nation for Victory motorcycle sales. The Victory brand came to an end in 2017, but Sutherland was already involved in becoming a dealer for Indian motorcycles. Sutherland’s interest with Indian Motorcycles is extensive. His involvement is more than just his dealership. He has a true passion for customizing bikes and developing performance products and accessories to make them look and go faster through his collaboration with Lloyd’z Garage.
