History
M Racing opened on November 4th of 2007.
We opened shop because we felt that the shop we were at was going in a direction drastically different from where we wanted to be. The focus there was becoming less and less about quality work or even true performance. We felt as if we had no support for our race endeavors, and we felt the shop simply wasn't growing. So it became time to put up or shut up. We began making plans for M Racing early on, but were forced to speed up the time table when our former employer decided he felt threatened by our honesty about what our desires were. The split could have been smoother, but to some, business is just business.
Feeling that what we do is more a labor of love and of enthusiasm, we opened as the economy was beginning to fail. Further complicating our business plan was the creation of the new Daytona Motor Group's new AMA which was hellbent on changing the very face of competitive motorcycle road racing. In truth, we could have picked a better time for our endeavor. It has been a time when many shops and even dealerships have been forced to close. Let's just say that our business plan has had to evolve over the past couple of years. Our passion, coupled with the support of true friends and a loyal customer base that chose to not only find us, but to follow us, has been the secret to our survival.
We have worked hard to earn our customer base which consists of all types of riders. We cater to Pro Level Racers just as easily as we cater to Harley Davidson riders, or Dirt Bike Riders. We are not looking for customers who are looking for the cheapest price in town. We are looking for customers that are looking for the best value in town. We don't sell anything in our shop that we have not personally tested and can personally have an opinion of. We do all of our own in house dyno testing, and consequently know the difference between a loud pipe and one that works. We participate at all levels of competition and take pride in our logo being out there at we do our own research and development.
M Racing has established itself as a legitimate performance shop specializing in all aspects of performance tuning on all types of motorcycles. We welcome you to stop by and get to know us.

Meet The Lads
Shoji Kiriyama is the proud owner of M Racing. At least that is what we tell the sales people that call all of the time.
Young, rich, and dynamic best describe the self proclaimed Poet.
Private to the point of being reclusive, yet an adventerous traveler, Shoji rarely visits the shop. He is a true enthusiast who just wanted to see the talent of our shop have an opportunity to meet it's potential. Shoji at one point thought he was going to be the next big thing in Moto GP racing. Sadly, reality reared its ugly face. Recognizing that he could help others, he has dedicated his energy to pushing the staff at M Racing towards goals that other shops simply couldn't grasp.
Above, you see him on his personal ride which he holds onto for sentimental reasons.
Eddier Gaxiola is known to his friends as "Willy." He likes to say he doesn't have any friends, but the photo above says it all.
Eddie began riding motorcycles over twenty years ago. He has been a technician for the past decade and has worked with riding schools, race teams, and aftermarket manufacturers.
Eddie is our Ducati man as he has experience going back to the days of the AMA's Pro-Thunder Series. Eddie also likes working on Quads and ATVs, so we tend to give him those as well.
On his off time, Eddie can be found at the beach or if time allows, The River. To hear him speak spanish is to know the romance of the language. He is also a connossieur of fine dining and is often sought after as a tour guide.
Wes Kane is the young gun of M Racing.
Wes has been riding bikes for going on fifteen years. He began amateur racing in 2007 and earned his expert license racing with the CMRA.
As our newest technician, he is gaining experience on bikes ranging from full tourers to scooters. He is currently representing M Racing at AFM and WERA. 2011 saw him race the AMA Superbike class at National level. The weapon of choice, well the weapon he has been given; a former AMA Suzuki GSXR 1000.
The sky can be the limit for Wes if his glass bones will just hold.
Wes enjoys playing the guitar and amateur photography on his nights off.
"Dancing Bull of Iriquois"
Above you see David M'greene doing his best Fabio impression. This is why we call him Chief Homo Sabe.
David began riding about two decades ago while studying abroad at Oxford. You would think that he would have learned something better.
David loves Buells. He recently sold his Triumph to fund his dream of Buell ownership. Some dreams become nightmares. He has been in the industry for a decade and a half now and there are few types of motorcycle that he has not worked on.
He takes great pride in his involvement with Motorcycle Racing and has been on many a hot pit. He has enjoyed being contracted to a few race teams before M Racing.
David is currently looking forward to the 2012 return of the Catalina GP.
There is not enough space in this box to cover Dean "Monkey-Boy" Mizdal's history.
As one of the AMA's most reknown privateers, his race history speaks for itself.
Dean has been riding for thirty plus years. He began racing 28 years ago. It is suggested that Dean holds the record for most superbike starts.
To fund his racing Dean has been a technician for 29 years. Dean's motors are highly sought after by riders in AMA, WERA, AFM, and WSMC. He has experience as a riding instructor and often coaches customers at our track day outings.
Although he has tamed 190hp beasts at speeds damn near 200mph, Dean still dreams of someday owning an eighty-four GPZ750.
