If you've dreamed of hitting the open road on a motorcycle but have never managed to "get your motor running," so to speak, Tom VanStavern is here to help. Tom is owner of Columbus, Ohio-based Japanese motorcycle shop The Rice Paddy and its counterpart eBay store, ricepaddyco, which boasts over 36,000 sales of motorcycle parts and accessories since its launch a decade ago. With thousands of parts in stock and a locating system that links the company to over 200 salvage yards across America, "The Paddy," is a self-described “parts emporium.” But the business goes beyond parts: VanStaven and his team repair, customize, buy, sell and trade motorcycles. VanStavern, an enthusiast as much as he is a businessman, also uses The Rice Paddy's website to promote the biker lifestyle, offering an events board, inspirational stories, how-to guides and images promoting the joys of riding.
