Likes bikes, so he bought out dealer

Most motorcycle enthusiasts are content with one or two bikes. Aaron Sprague likes them enough that he purchased an entire dealership.

The St. Petersburg medical services entrepreneur bought Eurocycles of Tampa Bay at 8509 Gunn Highway in Odessa earlier this year from Joe and Crystal MacGuire, who opened the business in 2000. The full-service dealership sells and services luxury high-performance motorcycles including MV Agusta, BMW, Ducati and Triumph, and also offers branded apparel and motorcycle gear.

The acquisition marks the third business venture for Sprague, 37, an Air Force veteran who started his first business, Pope County Imaging, in 2004 in Russellville, Ark. In 2006 he bought Core Medical LLC, based in St. Petersburg, which provides ancillary services to healthcare facilities.
