Expanding Franks Motorcycles - a hub for classic motorbikes. Help us grow, preserve the legacy, and build a stronger biking community

by Jon Stevens in Colchester, Essex, United Kingdom

I’m Jon Stevens, the founder of Franks Motorcycles, a business inspired by my father, Frank (1934–1998). Frank passed away from cancer on New Year’s Eve at the age of 64, leaving behind a legacy of generosity, kindness, and a deep passion for classic motorcycles. He was a charitable man, always giving his time to support others, and his values inspired me to create a business that honours his memory. At Franks, we strive to be more than just a motorcycle dealership—we aim to create a hub where people can find community, connection, and support.

Our team at Franks is small but dedicated, sharing a deep love for the culture and craftsmanship of both classic and future-classic bikes. Over the years, we’ve built a loyal community of enthusiasts who appreciate what we stand for: preserving heritage, fostering connections, and sharing the joy of riding.

Our vision is to expand Franks into a premier destination for motorcycle lovers. We want to enhance our offerings with rare and unique bikes, improve our showroom and workshop facilities, and create a welcoming space where riders can come together to share their passion and support one another.

The funds we raise will be invested in:

    •    Upgrading our facilities to provide a premium experience for customers and the community.

    •    Hosting events and activities that bring riders together and foster camaraderie.

By contributing to “Fuel the Dream,” you’re not just helping us grow—you’re becoming part of a thriving community that celebrates the timeless spirit of motorcycling while supporting those who need it most. Together, we can make Franks a beacon of hope, connection, and timeless passion for bikers everywhere.
