HISTORY

Jim Robinson brought his first motorcycle home to the farm in the mid 40's. Farm life began taking a back seat to the excitement of fixing and racing motorcycles. The small tractor and car repair shop Jim built on the farm was an ideal place to stock a few parts for bike repairs for others. Firth Motorcycles and McBride Cycles in Toronto suggested Jim take a bike or two and sell from the farm. The farm focus quickly turned to bikes.

In the mid 50's after Jim and Bev married, the farm life began taking a back seat as the motorcycles developed into a fulltime business. The 60's saw the Japanese bikes arrive, Hondas followed by Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki. Harley and BMW also found a home on the Robinson farm in the 60's. The small garage needed a major expansion. A large showroom was built. A warehouse and airplane hangar behind the bike shop awaited truckloads of bikes Jim was hauling weekly from Toronto. The chicken coop and milking barn were a thing of Jim and Bev's past.

The 60's and 70's saw a major expansion of motorcylcing enthusiasts. In the mid 80's the Robinson Harleys roared with the new evolution engines and the rest is history.
