Wes Scott started working as a motorcycle mechanic at Broward Motorsport, a large Triumph dealership in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in March 1966, where he learned to work on Triumphs, BSAs, Nortons and other fine British made motorcycles. Wes continued to work full time at this Triumph shop for eleven years, during which time he went to Florida Atlantic University where he earned a Bachelors Degree in Ocean Engineering. After graduation, the market for engineering graduates was in a slump so Wes continued to work at the Triumph shop for another five years. Eventually, in 1977 he obtained an engineering job with a large Defense Contractor and began his engineering career. In 1978, Wes began to re-pursue his passion for motorcycles by opening a small repair shop in Oakland Park, where he performed service on British bikes for some of his former customers. This was only to be a small part-time operation, at first, as Wes was working full time as an engineer. As time went along, this small part-time business grew larger, until it reached a point where it became a full time business. This is when Wes son Jim came into the picture. Jim Scott had just finished a four-year stint in the Navy, where he had been trained to work on the Navys largest gas turbine powered helicopters (CH-53s). With the high level of naval aircraft service training, and Jims natural mechanical aptitude, he came to work at Wes Scott Cycles with much to offer.
