Hi!  I'm Bob and my better half is Debbie, together we make up Bob's British Bikes.  In my daytime job I am a traveling manager here in the Northwest part of the United States.  After I started restoring vintage British motorcycles, I found myself searching for the parts that I needed in whichever town I found myself in that night.  Much more fun than sitting in a hotel room at night! Soon I had developed a large circle of acquaintances and other like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts who, like me, were looking for that perfect motorcycle part. Frustrated by the lack of local sources, I started bringing reproduction parts in from overseas sources.

 Debbie and I started selling our parts at local and not so local swap meets.  However, as the number of swap meets declined, we saw the writing on the wall and branched out into mail order and eBay sales. Debbie at this time quit her lucrative, highly paid, teaching position, to become our internet marketer. (translation, she does the grunt work, and I have the fun looking for parts) (by the way, guess who is typing this!)  While going with me to the swap meets Debbie, who drew portraits in her spare time, starting drawing some of the beautiful bikes that she saw at the shows.  She has the drawings screen printed on t-shirts and now has something of her own to sell at the swap meets and in our eBay store.

We have recently launched a new project called Empire Cycle & Powersports. This is the new Triumph dealership for Spokane and the Inland Northwest, and our showroom has been open for one month as of this posting.  For the last several months, we have been gutting, remodeling , and installing a modern showroom in a 16,000 square foot building that we purchased.  This facility includes a new showroom, parts department, and a 4 bay service department.  We have also left room for "The Clubhouse", a room set aside for various vintage and modern riding clubs.  Our goal is to bring our vintage British parts business into the new company as time and training of staff permits. Please stop in and see us if you're passing through Spokane, we'd love to meet and greet each one of you.
