We recently received a note from Mal of Adventure Bike Australia, who has been a great friend to ProCycle, and whom we’ve enjoyed working with over the years. He was kind enough to share some of his history with selling Suzukis and Suzuki parts, which we’d like to share with you.

Mal started as the owner of Suzuki/Husqvarna Darwin on the northern tip of Australia. Because of its remote location, hot climate, and many abandoned airfields, Suzuki often used Darwin as a testing ground, and Mal had the pleasure of hosting many of the factory engineers that came through.

The story of ProCycle starts in 2002 when Jeff Homolka outgrew his two car garage "Small Time" machine shop and decided to rent an official commercial shop space. Before starting his machine shop, Jeff worked in the motorcycle industry as a mechanic and a parts manager. To help pay the rent of this new shop space, Jeff had the idea of drawing on his motorcycle industry experience to sell motorcycle parts to supplement his machining services.
