Bikes for Bikers - About Us

Bikes for Bikers Cycle Sales is family owned and run. We are your average biker bunch who love to ride, and live to do so. In late December of 2005, we decided to take our passion for riding, and turn it into a bigger part of our lives. So after much discussion and a bit of planning, some hassle with lawyers and a little debate, we opened our dealership to the public.

Our objective is to offer customers a variety of motorcycles...from the Harley-Davidson to the Yamaha, the Honda to the Suzuki. Our goal is to satisfy the wants and needs of ANY bike enthusiast. We offer competitive pricing on all of our vehicles so no haggle is needed. We give you the best possible price so that it is affordable for you to hit the road on the bike of your dreams.

We know our stuff! We'll explain the pros and cons to help you make the best decision for the bike that's right for you. When you take delivery, you'll get a professional handover that covers all operating instructions for your make/model.

Charley

Charley has been riding since he was a kid...and that's more than a few years! His first street bike was a 1970 Honda...even the old "banana seat" was cool! Since then he's owned a variety of bikes and currently rides a 2002 Harley Wide Glide.

Charley started his career in the Navy and then attended the University of Houston. After many years in the IT industry, he decided to give up the corporate rat race to follow his passion for motorcycles. He loves "talking bikes" and looks forward to going into work each day. He considers himself more of a matchmaker than a motorcycle salesman and he takes great pride in matching our customers to that perfect bike! On his days off, you'll find him riding up to Oklahoma for catfish, or maybe just making the rounds to the local biker hangouts to enjoy time with family and friends. Charley is looking forward to his first ride to Sturgis...hopefully this year!

Annette

After spending a large portion of her life traveling the world to fulfill the demands of her position as an IT project manager, Annette decided there was more to life than all work and no play. On her 46th birthday Annette's son, Rob, thought it would be a new experience for her to learn how to ride a motorcycle. In October of 2003 a friend let Rob borrow a Honda Shadow for the occasion. Shortly after, Annette felt the time was right to purchase her first bike. After much debate, she settled on a 2003 Harley Low Rider. When she got the bike home, she thought she'd be more comfortable getting a feel for the bike before taking it out for a cruise. In the process of practicing figure 8 maneuvers, she promptly tipped the bike on it's side! Unfortunately, on Easter of the following year, Annette was in a bad car accident and broke her back. She was unable to ride for nearly six months, but when it was time she hopped back onto her motorcycle to spend her very next birthday riding through Florida for Biketoberfest.

Annette enjoys handling the business side of things for the dealership. She particularly likes talking to other women looking to learn to ride and acquire their first bike.

Rob

Rob got interested in riding at the age of twelve, owning everything from peddle start mopeds to the Harley-Davidson he currently owns today. Rob loved riding so much that in college he used his Honda 500 to deliver pizzas.

Today, Rob is a journeyman electrician by trade, and enjoys riding whenever he can. He enjoys going to rallies, such as the ROT rally in Austin, TX and Biketoberfest in Daytona, FL.

Rob has a son, "Deuce", and a new daughter, Aspen. He can't wait to teach his kids to enjoy the thrill of riding. Often you'll overhear Rob talking about the different kinds of bikes that he plans to buy for them; anything from a 50cc mini bike to a KX80 dirt bike. When this happens, you are sure to see his wife, Minde, standing behind him quietly reminding him that they are a bit young yet!

Somewhere between being a daddy, husband, and electrician, you'll catch Rob around the shop on a part-time basis doing a variety of tasks including sales, service, transport, and purchasing.

Minde

Minde got her interest in riding when she was just a little girl. She remembers looking out the backseat window of her parent's car and seeing a gang of motorcyclists pull next to them, led by an old man with a long white beard. She remembers thinking how cool that old man looked, with his arms stretched out and up in front of him, wearing a black vest, and a pretty woman sitting behind him.

Minde had just turned 20 the month she finally got to have a ride on a motorcycle. A good friend hung out with the Ruff Ryder's of Dallas and offered to take her to Galveston with them for the Kappa Beach Party. Once in Galveston, Minde hopped on the back of a crotch rocket with one of the club members and sped down the highway at speeds that would make her mother quiver in fear of losing her little girl. She loved the freedom of being out of a cage.

Minde met Rob in mid 2003, and knew she'd found her soul mate. Her passion for riding grew when Rob bought a new bike of his own. Shortly after, Rob taught Minde to ride on a Honda Shadow. Within five minutes, Minde was going around the neighborhood alone. After making a U-turn in the rain, Minde laid the bike down. She laughed and threw her hands in the air and said "SCORE!". Shortly after she found out she was pregnant. She doesn't get to ride as often as she likes these days, but when the kids get old enough, Minde and Rob plan to share their passion with them.

Minde is the creative one of the bunch. She enjoys handling the marketing side of things and providing top notch customer service.
