About Creative Cycles
Our Philosophy
We Don't Make Claims.
We Let the Work Speak.
While some shops make great claims about this, that, and the other thing — many find it hard to live up to the reputation they create. At Creative Cycles, after nearly five decades in business, we simply don't feel the need to make claims.
We want your business, and we will work hard to earn it — and harder still to keep it. That is, after all, how a family-owned shop remains in business for nearly half a century.
We take genuine pride in our work and in the trust our clients place in us. Every motorcycle that leaves our shop — whether it came in for a routine service or a full custom build — reflects that commitment.
Our History
Nearly Five Decades
of Craftsmanship
Founded in New Jersey
Creative Cycles was established in southern central New Jersey — built from the ground up on a commitment to craftsmanship and honest service.
Expansion & Recognition
Relocated to a larger facility in western Wall, NJ. Our reputation for custom builds, high-performance engine work, and precision tuning earned national and international press coverage.
A Landmark Facility
Expanded into an adjoining building, creating a flagship shop that enabled increasingly ambitious custom work and drew attention from magazines and television worldwide.
A Deliberate Reinvention
We made a defining choice: sell the inventory, downsize, and relocate to Umatilla, Florida. Not to slow down — but to refocus entirely on the quality of the work itself.
Umatilla, Florida
A personal, hands-on shop where every build and every service reflects the same standard that has defined Creative Cycles for nearly five decades.
Recognition
Featured in Magazines
& Television Worldwide
Our work has been recognized by national and international publications and featured on television — not through self-promotion, but because the quality of the builds earned that attention on its own merit. We remain proud of that recognition, and equally proud that it has never changed how we approach the work.
Umatilla, Florida
Built on Hard Work.
Focused on You.
In June of 2013, we made a purposeful move — selling our inventory, downsizing our equipment, and relocating our family and business to Umatilla, Florida. It was not a step back. It was a hard-earned decision to double down on what we do best: building and servicing motorcycles with the kind of care and attention that only a truly hands-on shop can offer.
At Creative Cycles, you are never a number. Every customer who walks through our door gets our full attention — a real conversation about what you want, what your bike needs, and how we can deliver something that is genuinely tailored to you. Whether it's a custom build or a routine service, the work we do for you is bespoke. It reflects your vision, your machine, and your standards.
That commitment to one-on-one service is exactly why clients from our New Jersey years still ship their motorcycles down to us. The shop may be smaller — the dedication never has been.
We'd Love to Hear From You
