The name Appleton has been synonymous with motorcycles in the Clarksville area since 1952. In 1968 Buddy & Bret Appleton opened Clarksville Cycle Center. The business started out on Madison Street, moved to College Street, and finally settled in an old tractor building on Kraft Street in 1971. During those days, we sold Husqvarna & Yamaha motrocycles. In 1981, Glen Appleton, Buddy's brother, who was the Harley Dealer at the time passed away. In 1982 Buddy was approved by Harley-Davidson to be a dealer and purchased the existing Harley® motorcyles and merchandise from Glen's estate.
