Rob Janssen has always had an interest in all things mechanical – from his very first hot rod cars and motorcycles, to heavy duty equipment, farm machinery, and everything in between. In 1994 Rob Janssen established R.E.Cycle in Chemainus on Vancouver Island. It’s not like most motorcycle shops out there nowadays. R.E.Cycle is “old school”. It doesn’t have a million dollar showroom, but more often than not it’s got the parts to save your ride, and mechanics who can get it fixed when you can’t. R.E.Cycle will repair almost anything. The shop was initially geared to repair and supply new and used parts for American motorcycles; Buell and Harley Davidson, and we remain focused on Harley Davidson in particular, but within a short time the demand to repair all makes and models of motorbikes was evident. So R.E.Cycle started repairing and supplying both new and used parts and accessories for virtually all brands and types of motorcycles including: scooters, street bikes, dirt bikes, Chinese bikes, ATV’s, and even snowmobiles. R.E.Cycle has grown over its 25 years from the little shop that could, into one of the most successful bike shops on Vancouver Island.
Since Fall of 2023 Rob retired to Salmon Arm BC and Rob has bought his collection of old motorcycle which he intends to restore back to riding condition.
