Inside the shop

A clean shop with an honest reputation

Thrill City Cycle is owned by Don Dupre, a mechanic who has worked on motorcycles most of his life. The service department was expanded within our first year to add room for the work, and it's been busy ever since.

When you drop off your bike, you talk to the people turning the wrenches. We explain what we found, what it needs, and what can wait.

Champion Sidecars & Trikes

Three wheels. Same love of the road.

We convert touring and cruiser models with Champion trike kits. They look like they came from the factory and they handle beautifully, and Champion's option list lets you make it yours.

How we got started with trikes

Our friend Bruce Sutherland stopped riding in 1986 after a drunk driver hit him, leaving him partially paralyzed below the knees. Years later, with his kids grown, he still dreamed of riding again. We found him a 2003 Road King, researched every option, and chose Champion. We fabricated floorboard rails to keep his feet secure and added a hand shift actuator. It was our first conversion, and it's why we've stuck with Champion ever since.

Why riders convert

Keep ridingAn injury or health change doesn't have to end your riding days. A trike lets you keep doing what you love.

Confidence and comfortNot everyone is at ease on two wheels. A trike adds stability at stops, in parking lots and at low speed.

The lookSome riders just like it. Expect attention at every gas stop and a lot of questions.

Something differentOne of our customers rode with a sidecar in the Armed Forces and wanted something a little different. He loves his trike.

Our story

Biker owned. Built with friends.

After a lot of persuasion from friends, Don finally took the plunge and opened his own shop. Before Thrill City Cycle even had a name, there was work to do, starting with a building. With help from longtime friends, we decided to buy. The Sutherland Brothers Construction Company helped us open our doors, and we couldn't have done it without them.

Our customers come from every background, with at least one thing in common: the love of the road on two wheels. Most of them found us through a friend. Word of mouth is still our best advertising.

1999

Thrill City Cycle opens its doors at 204 Pinehurst Avenue.

Year one

An addition extends the service department and adds a room just for motorcycle storage.

First trike

A Champion conversion on a 2003 Road King gets our friend Bruce back on the road.

Today

Still biker owned, still a clean shop, still all the service without the attitude.

Ride safe.
