Here's a Brief History of Our Business... Motorcycles of Manchester Inc, affectionately known as MOM's, has been a household name in the north east motorcycle industry for over thirty five years serving their customers with quality motorcycles and excellent service. Established by Harold Bishop of Gate City Cycles in 1973, MOM's was managed by and later purchased and incorporated by Joe Wheeler. MOM's started from humble beginnings in a 4200 square foot store located at 98 Willow Street. MOM's had a successful first year with their no pressure, high quality buying experience they provided to their customers. MOM's was founded on the principle I'd rather make a friend than a buck Wayne Wheeler. This basic concept turned infectious creating several decades of loyal repeat customers as well as new customers. MOM's evolved through out the years to meet their customer's needs being the leader in Triumphs and later other imports the dirt bike boom selling the European Ossa and the Hodaka dirt and trial bikes taking its customers through the burms and whoop de do's in the early seventies. In the later part of the seventies MOM's took on the Canadian Can-Am Franchise selling enduro bikes and taking the crown as the largest volume dealer for several consecutive years through 1986. In the eighties MOM's brought the American made ATK dirt bikes to their store after the fall of Can-Am and continued to provide the latest craze and excellence in the dirt world. MOM's survived the rough economy in the nineties by exporting pre-owned motorcycles to Holland, Russia, England, Ireland, and South America. The market for pre-owned motorcycles grew in the US in the late nineties for the average guy who wanted a Harley but couldn't afford a new cycle so MOM's was there to meet their needs. Why buy from a private sale when you could purchase a bike from MOM's that was fully serviced and warranteed. Customers tore up the streets on their motorcycles they bought from MOM's. With the demand for pro-owned bikes growing, MOM's had outgrown their space and added onto to their Manchester, New Hampshire location creating a second floor making their store 20000 square feet with a state of the art show room and parts department. MOM's was so successful in the pre-owned market they decided to expand the business and open a second store in Massachusetts. They bought the building in 2002 and renovated the property. MOM'South opened in March of 2003 located just south of Gillette Stadium on Route 1 in Foxboro, Massachusetts under the helm of Joe Wheeler's son Joel Wheeler. The market expanded to women riders and first time riders. MOM's and MOM'South was their again to meet their needs by taking on the Hyosung Motorcycle Franchise which provided the best all around entry level cruiser with comfort, size, and price.
