Massimo Motor Sports
By Russell A. Graves
“Imagine coming to a distant foreign land with about a hundred bucks in your pocket, a suitcase with just a few personal items, and a couple of widgets you think might sell,” says Jon Bammann, director of special projects for Massimo Motor Sports, a Garland, Texas, based manufacturer of all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and utility vehicles (UTV).
“You know no one, have no job, no place to live and can’t even speak the language. In fact, the only thing you have is a dream.”
In a nutshell, that’s the story of Massimo’s beginnings. Twenty years ago, founder and managing member David Shan moved to the United States from China, became a citizen, and opened a small retail business selling scooters and mini bikes. Always being a fan of motor sports, he figured out a way to source parts and assemble his own product. Early on, the ATV’s shared a constant tenant: a feature-rich, Texas-made product that sources the best parts and assembles them into a final product.
When Shan first started assembling Massimo products, his warehouse was small. In 2008, however, he moved into 220,000 square foot facility in Irving. From there, the company grew incrementally as it formed a nationwide dealer network.

Delicate microbes buried just beneath the surface. We walk by them, unbeknownst to us. Spores, spawn, and sclerotia, each with distinct characteristics. It is said that these fungi are all connected, speaking to one another as they populate the earth. The interconnectedness of all living things and the decaying world, such beauty lies within these otherworldly alien organisms.
