Ep. #280 - Whiskey, Motorcycles, and Memories: A Conversation with Scott Bumpus

Garage Composites Season 6 Episode 280

This week, we sit down with Scott Bumpus — musician, historian, and operator of Bumpus Harley-Davidson in Tennessee. Scott shares his incredible family story, from railroads to roaring engines, and the emotional bond that defines the Harley experience. We dive into dealership beginnings, brand evolution, the impact of the 2008 crash, lessons from COVID-19, and why Harley’s future leadership matters. Plus, hear about Scott’s favorite ride — a 1990 Lowrider Custom.
 It is a must-listen for anyone who loves Harley-Davidson and the culture that fuels it.
