About Us
Privateer Connection LLC is owned and operated by Chuck Shirley who started riding dirtbikes at the age of 2 and racing at the age of 6. He has qualified & raced at the Loretta Lynn's nationals 9 times throughout his amateur career turning pro in 1994. While attending college to obtain a degree in electronics engineering Chuck continued to race as a struggling privateer, trying to obtain his dream of becoming a top-level pro rider. In 1995 Chuck went to work as a parts counter person at the local dealership in Florence, SC. Upon his graduation from college, Chuck knew his true passion was to remain within the motorcycle industry. Following that passion, Chuck moved to Rock Hill taking a job as parts manager of a local dealership. In 1998 a new dealership opened in town and he went to work with them as parts manager. Chuck then moved up the corporate ladder having worked as service manager to sales manager then taking the final step as general manager. He worked there for 7 years before leaving to pursue his DREAM of owning his own business as Privateer Connection LLC in 2006.
Privateer Connection LLC prides itself on loyalty to the customers by offering excellent customer service. With a complete understanding of being a customer needing a part as well as great service we at Privateer Connection treat our customers like we want to be treated. We have not spent thousands of dollars on advertising to get new customers through the door.
