Kyle Montgomery
Marketing Coordinator
Name Kyle Montgomery
Title Marketing Coordinator
My motorcycle career began at the age of 21 when I brought my first street bike. A Kawasaki ZX-6R, an old 2001. Before that I had never ridden a motorcycle (maybe a scooter once) but not even a dirt-bike. At a very young age I remember seeing motorcycles from the car window and thinking – wow that looks cool! Just fascinated by them. Deep down I think I’ve always had a passion for two-wheels and when I finally took my M2 course (with my Dad) I knew then and there motorcycling was definitely for me!
I love motorcycles because there is no other feeling on the road like it, everything is better - the sights, the smells, the fresh air and the feeling of the open road is pure exhilaration. The Harley-Davidson lifestyle is like no other and Barrie Harley-Davidson is like no other. I am proud to call this place my home away from home because of the people within it. If you don’t ride a motorcycle or if you ride another brand, you are always welcome at Barrie Harley-Davidson and we will always make sure your experience here is a memorable one.

His philosophy on bike sales is to always remember what is was like before he worked in this industry and was a customer himself “everyone deserves to be treated fairly and without pressure when they are deciding to buy a motorcycle.”

Cody Beers
Parts Technician
Name Cody Beers
Title Parts Technician
Cody joined the parts team at Barrie Harley-Davidson in February of 2018. Growing up as a kid I always had a passion for motorcycles. I was always surrounded by motorcycles and dirt bikes starting at a young age. I had my first dirt bike (Suzuki 80) at the age of 7 and have loved being on two wheels ever since. I would help my dad work on his 1989 Softail Custom or his 2003 Electra Glide in the garage. If we weren’t working on the bikes, he would take me for rides on the back. I do not have my motorcycle license yet, but will be on the road soon. When I’m not at Harley I’m usually out on the ATV, camping or barbequing in the backyard with friends.
You can contact Cody at (705) 728-5322 or via email at parts@barriehd.com.
Ashton Novinger
Parts Runner
Name Ashton Novinger
Title Parts Runner
Ashton has been part of the Barrie Harley-Davidson® family since 2008. In 2007, Ashton bought his first motorcycle from Barrie Harley-Davidson®, and when the service assistant position opened up a year later, he knew it was the perfect job for him. In 2010 he migrated from the service department to his current position in the parts department. You won’t find him at the parts counter, as he hides away at his desk in the back as an important “liaison” between the parts and the service department. Ashton is currently riding a 09 Nightster® that is constantly changing with accessories. When the question arose of why he loves riding, he was at a loss for words. “Tough question. Almost everything; from being out in the elements, to throwing the bike over in the corners and crackin’ the throttle on the way out, it’s just a very dynamic and exciting experience.“
You can contact Ashton at (705) 728-5322 ext 120 or via email at runner@barriehd.com.

Jason Solomon
Service Coordinator
Name Jason Solomon
Title Service Coordinator
Hey everyone, you know who it is…. Jason Here at Barrie Harley-Davidson.
I was offered the opportunity to start working in this incredible family run, team oriented establishment in 2016 and haven’t looked back since. I came into this dealership with a lot of knowledge of off brand motorcycles and thanks to my team mates for sharing their abundance of knowledge, it was only a short amount of time before I started adopting the Harley mechanical background, ways and values. I started in the Service department and have since moved around within the dealership to expand my knowledge and get a true understanding of as much of the business as I possibly can. My time spent working in the Parts Department has allowed me to grow within the dealership and aside from the Service and Parts counters, I now have experience and worked as a Parts Runner, Chrome Consultant, Shipper/Receiver, I built and managed our Shopify E-Commerce store and as some of you already know, I worked with the Marketing department on the social media end. I have recently found my way back to the Service Department as a Service Coordinator working in the shop along side all of our technicians, service assistants’ writers and management to ensure shop flow is efficient and work getting completed in a timely manner.
I have had the opportunity to work with this amazing team of people that are always willing to help you excel and drive you to succeed. I’ve always loved the brand but never had the opportunity to ride or be involved with it until I started working here. From a young age, I started collecting memorabilia and merchandise and it was only a matter of time until I became part of the Harley-Davidson family.
