We are thrilled to be featured in Focus Magazine as we celebrate 35 incredible years of North Coast V-Twins! The journey began with a spark ignited in Gloucester's theatres, where the rumble of a V-Twin engine set the stage for what would become a lifelong passion for motorcycles. From those early days, our family’s dedication to the motorcycle world has grown into a thriving business with North Coast V-Twins and Coffs KTM.
Our founder, Ashley Beaton, reflects on how the motorcycle business became a family affair. What started with Ashley's fascination with bikes and racing evolved into a legacy involving his wife, Jill, and their four children, all of whom share the same enthusiasm for riding. The family's bond over motorcycles extends to their grandchildren, who are already discovering the joy of riding.
The inception of our shop was driven by a profound love for motorcycles. Our partnership with Ducati in 1989 and the addition of Harley-Davidson in 1996 marked significant milestones. Driven by a commitment to passion and community the business has thrived.
As technology and customer preferences have evolved, so have we. Our transition to an online presence complements our dedication to providing a top-notch in-store experience. The essence of our business remains unchanged: building lasting relationships and fostering a vibrant motorcycle community.
Looking forward, we’re excited about integrating Coffs KTM into our operations, continuing to offer exceptional service, and growing alongside our beloved community.
Here’s to many more years of riding and adventure!
