John Parker Motorcycles was founded in 1973 when dad (
John) decided he didn't like the new workshop at Essex Police
headquarters where he was working at the time as a Motorcycle Mechanic. Mum
(Maureen) has run the shop since the early days and I helped in the
workshop from being knee high to a C90 ! In fact I used to earn
my pocket money repairing customers bicycles ! . I came to work full
time when I left school in the Mid 1980's and have been here ever
since . Dad died in 1993 and my role in the workshop and shop
increased, while Mum continues to serve in the shop (Or at least
play cards on the computer !!!!!!!!) and with Geoff our mechanic in
the workshop I split my time between the shop and workshop.
As you can see from the pictures we have always been
involved in off road motorcycle sport John (and indeed Maureen)
competed in trials, motocross and also vintage road racing , while I
have ridden trials since I was 7. We are also members of the Vintage
Motorcycle club and ride and enjoy Older British bikes.
Well that's enough about us , take a look around the
website and if you have any queries just drop me a line
Yours
Stephen Parker
