The 3 men traveled the Southeast racing flattrack and worked on bikes during the week at "the shop". They were always looking for ways to make bikes go faster and lived life on the edge. They started out in the garage at Gray's house but soon outgrew it. Next stop was a former SOC station at the corner of Pine Log and Whiskey Rd in Aiken. This location remained home for Aiken Motorcycle for many years. In the early 1970's Marvin and the Hunters dissolved their partnership. Marvin remained on the corner of Pine Log & Whiskey at Aiken Motorcycle Sales & Service.
