About North County Hyper Sports

North County Hyper Sports was founded in 1989 by Glenn Castro in Oceanside, California. With a passion for motorcycles and a relentless drive for innovation, Glenn established NC Hyper Sports as a trusted name in Southern California’s motorcycle scene. Over the years, Glenn’s expertise and dedication led to remarkable accomplishments, including the design and construction of the NC Hypersports GSX-61300, which set six world records at the iconic Bonneville Salt Flats.

With more than 35 years of experience in motorcycle service and performance, Glenn built a legacy that earned him a loyal customer base. His work on a wide range of motorcycles, from street bikes to performance machines, positioned NC Hyper Sports as a cornerstone of the local motorcycle community.

In October 2024, after decades of running the shop, Glenn made the decision to retire and pass on his legacy. That's when Austin Fowler came into the picture.

A New Chapter: Austin Fowler Takes the Helm

Austin's journey into the world of motorcycles started early, with a deep-rooted passion for both mechanics and performance. After attending automotive school while serving in the Army National Guard, Austin honed his skills working at All American Street Rods, specializing in classic cars. But his love for motorcycles soon took the forefront, leading him to a technician role at HUCK Cycles where he was vital in the design and development of a new electric motorcycle line.

With the desire to expand his knowledge of motorcycles and pursue a dream of one day owning his own shop, Austin Moved to Southern California, the home of many world class bike builders. Growing up on HOT BIKE magazine, Austin knew that was the place to be.

After moving to Southern California in 2022, Austin joined the Feuling Parts team, an industry leader known for their innovation and performance-driven parts for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. As a key member of Feuling’s team, Austin gained unmatched experience and knowledge.

While working at Feuling, Austin also launched Fowler Performance, a shop he started out of his own garage. His custom Harley-Davidson builds quickly gained a loyal following, and his reputation for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

In October 2024, Austin visited North County Hyper Sports with plans to purchase some of Glenn’s shop equipment for his own garage. During that visit, Austin shared his dream of one day owning his own shop. To his surprise, Glenn, recognizing Austin's passion and expertise, offered him the chance to take over NC Hyper Sports and carry on the tradition of excellence. Without hesitation, Austin and his fiancée, Maddy, officially took ownership of the business on October 15, 2024.
