Our Story
Trad-Am Cycle sprang from a vision, a passion, a need. A vision to forge one of America’s finest motorcycle havens. A passion for the ride, the glory of two wheels. The need? Independence from the corporate grip, a fresh path for the free-spirited.
Jeremy Burk, the man at the helm, is a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast. Raised in Southern California’s sun, he was drawn to bikes with stories etched into their metal—creations of shared love for the open road. His youth was a desert odyssey, riding with his forefathers, inheriting a legacy of dust and engines. Dirt bikes were his first love, but the lure of the old-school—the choppers, the bobbers, the cafe racers—grew within him. These were the steeds of dreamers and rebels, crafted by hand, fueled by imagination, roaming every corner of the nation.
In his grandparents’ shop, Jeremy cut his teeth on the bones of bikes, mastering the heart of machines. His hands learned to guide riders on their journeys. Life took him to the Midwest, to family, but the call of the bikes never waned. He climbed the ranks, from metric marvels to the throne of Harley-Davidson, connecting deeply with the industry, the community, the riders.
His dream? To open a sanctuary of cycles, a place where knowledge, skill, and fervor are shared freely. Where community and culture ride ahead of commerce. Jeremy envisions a haven for all who seek the thrill of the ride—men, women, the outcasts, the racers, the wanderers. A place of camaraderie, support, and joy.
As Trad-Am Cycle’s journey unfolds, our zeal will carve our name as the ultimate refuge for those who live for the ride. Trad-Am Cycle will stand as a testament to where style and substance converge, where artistry and utility unite, where the dreams of the two-wheeled find their home, where the impossible becomes the road ahead.
TWO WHEEL TUESDAYS
Tuesday's no longer just another day; it's the beacon of the week, the day when the throttle jockeys and road warriors converge. It's the prelude to the weekend's wild escapades, a ritualistic gathering of souls fueled by gasoline dreams. We've struck a chord with the Sturges Young Auditorium, an alliance for an unconventional bike night. This isn't your run-of-the-mill meet-up; it's a weekly carnival where the scent of street food mingles with the raw strokes of local artists, all to the rhythm of music that beats through the heart of Sturgis, Michigan's Social District. It's a symphony of chaos and community, the perfect pit stop on life's highway.
