There are certain things in life that never really leave you. For me, that has always been motorcycles.


What started as a simple interest turned into something much deeper over time. It wasn’t just about riding — it was about understanding the machines, the feel of them, and the stories they carried. Each bike had its own personality, its own history, and its own way of teaching you something if you were willing to listen.

Over the years, starting in Yuma, Az, dirt bike riding in the desert and than really connecting when I was stationed in Iwakuni, Japan for two years. Those years were the connections that led me down different paths all though my younger years. From early rides and learning experiences, to working within the dealership world, and eventually building a collection of vintage Japanese motorcycles that spans across the country.


There were times when life moved me in many other directions, but motorcycles always found their way back in. Whether it was tracking down parts, bringing a bike back to life, or just standing back and appreciating a well-built machine, the connection never faded.


DLVC Coastal Cycles is an extension of that journey!


It’s not just about buying or selling motorcycles. It’s about preserving a piece of history — especially the era of Japanese motorcycles that changed everything. From the high revving two strokes, to the four strokers and the powerful inline fours, along with the V;s. The engineering, the balance between performance and reliability — these bikes earned their place.


This platform is being built to reflect that.

A place where clean, honest machines can be showcased. Where people who understand these bikes can connect. And where the focus stays on quality, not volume.


This is just the beginning!
