      Al Abgrab and Moshiko Ozana are the proud owners of BBV Powersports, a Motorcycle Dealership in Las Vegas.

      As military veterans, Al and Moshiko share a deep passion for their community—especially for fellow motorcycle enthusiasts.

      Al served as an Airborne Combat Medic in the U.S. Army, while Moshiko was a Paratrooper and Medic in the IDF (Israel Defense Force).

      Together, they have built BBV Powersports into a hub for riders, community gatherings, and charitable initiatives.

      We sat down with Al and Moshiko to learn more about their journey, their commitment to Las Vegas, and the community-driven values that fuel their work.

      Background and Military Experience

      Q: Al, Moshiko, can you tell us a little about your military background and how your experiences shaped who you are today?

      Al: I served in the U.S. Army, where discipline, teamwork, and resilience were instilled in me.

      Those values carried over into how I approach challenges and build relationships at BBV Powersports.

      Moshiko: My time in the IDF as a Paratrooper and Medic taught me to think quickly and work under pressure.

      It also gave me a sense of purpose, which I bring into everything we do for the community.

      The Birth of BBV Powersports

      Q: How did the idea for BBV Powersports come about?

      Moshiko: We both love motorcycles and saw a need for a community-driven powersports shop in Las Vegas.

      It started as a dream to bring riders together and support the local Las Vegas community.

      Al: The idea was born out of passion, but it’s also about creating a place where riders can trust the service they’re getting.

      The Passion for Powersports

      Q: What drew you both to powersports specifically? Is there something about motorcycles that speaks to your values of adventure and community?

      Al: Motorcycles are about freedom and connection. They bring people together in a unique way, and that aligns perfectly with our values.

      Moshiko: Riding has always been a passion of mine. Sharing that passion with others and creating a space where riders can connect is fulfilling.

      Roles at BBV Powersports

      Q: Moshiko, as the operations manager, what does a typical day look like for you?

      Moshiko: Every day is different. I handle everything from customer service to planning events and ensuring the team has what they need to succeed.

      It’s rewarding to see the shop buzzing with activity.

      Q: Al, can you share a bit about your role in running the service department? What drives your passion for this work?

      Al: I oversee the repairs and maintenance side.

      My passion comes from knowing we’re keeping people safe on the road while delivering the best riding experience possible, all at a price that respects the rider’s budget.

      We pride ourselves on offering OEM-level quality repairs with the personal touch and affordability of a local shop. We charge significantly less than OEM-certified shops.

      Toy Drives and Local Support

      Moshiko: It started with a simple idea—bringing joy to kids during the holidays.

      We gathered with the amazing Sneed Family from The Lucky Little Chapel, and now, it’s a tradition that the whole community looks forward to.

      Al: It’s meaningful because it reminds us of the good we can do when we come together. The generosity of our customers and friends is incredible.
