Fort Myers, Florida (PRWEB) June 12, 2014 -- Scott Fischer Enterprises (SFE), owner of five Harley-Davidson® stores and an additional retail location, and leader in their industry, is growing in Southwest Florida.

Primary parties in the project are predominately made up of locally based businesses and include: Chase-Builder Corporation, Morris-Depew Associates, CC+M Design Group, and RG Architects, Strayhorn and Persons, PL. Other involved parties include DesignWorks Studios and Shook-Kelley.
WHY SIX BENDS?
The term “six bends” refers to the bends in a motorcycle’s handlebar, a part often customized on a motorcycle. As with virtually all parts of a Harley-Davidson®, the handlebars are customizable and unique to the rider. SFE feels strongly that each rider in the motorcycle community is unique, but bound together by the passion for riding that they share. Six Bends is a community for riders and non-riders to enjoy themselves, attend events and patron other local businesses.
The lore of Six Bends extends to the very fiber of the projects, how the roads are placed, where people can gather - moments in the space. It carries over into the event center that will play host to community events and concerts, named Top Rocker, who’s name not only refers to future visiting musicians, but also the top badge on a motorcycle vest. Six Bends is more than a name, it’s a lifestyle and point of view that SFE is excited to share with the Southwest Florida community and beyond.
