In 1989, two young guys had a dream to open their own bike dealership, Phil Bailey and Richard Hersey had worked together in a number of dealerships and it was time to go it alone.

About Us

Phil was out in his pickup truck looking for used bikes and popped into Mid Bucks Motorcycles in Cambridge Street Aylesbury, ‘Do you know anyone who wants a bike shop?’ the owner asked. ‘Maybe I do’ Phil replied, and the plot was hatched.

Phil and Richard then got to work on making their dream a reality and on 1st February 1989 On Yer Bike opened for business.

About Us

Starting with a Yamaha franchise and a small selection of used machines, On Yer Bike quickly grew to fill every inch of the tiny Cambridge Street Premises, there were even bikes hanging from the wall! When the limited space started to become an issue, Phil and Richard moved the workshop to Evett Close so that the entirety of the Cambridge Street location could be used as a showroom.

About Us

During his many visits to buy used stock, Phil developed a good relationship with Moto Cinelli in Northampton who were the Ducati importers. After some tense negotiations, On Yer Bike was awarded a Ducati franchise in February, 1993. As Lovers of Italian machines, Phil and Richard were both ecstatic.

Tragically, in June 1993 Richard passed away.

About Us

With grit and determination On Yer Bike persisted through these difficult times. As the business continued to grow, space once again became a problem. In 1995 an old happy eater site became available on the main A41 at Westcott. The site needed a total rebuild but it was the perfect opportunity to expand. After a lot of hard work On Yer Bike Westcott opened on 1st October 1996.

About Us

Over the years the site has grown considerably and we opened our stand-alone clothing store, vast aftersales centre and on-site motorcycle training school. After our trainer Neil retired, we are no longer offering training at On Yer Bike.

About Us

In 1999 we expanded our range and were awarded the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi franchise, in 2004 Kawasaki followed.

About Us

Prestigious awards were given to On Yer Bike by Motorcycle News as dealer of the year in 2002 and again in 2014. We have also been given numerous awards from the manufacturers that we represent.
