How it started

History

In 1975, John Parham began selling motorcycle parts and accessories via a small partnership in a motorcycle shop. In 1979, John and his wife Jill Parham founded "J. Parham Enterprises, Inc." The small motorcycle shop burned to the ground in 1984; this prompted the couple to develop a warehouse that is now the J&P Cycles headquarters, expanded in 2007. Parham also helped to create the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. He was the museum president and J&P Cycles is a donor. Comoto Holdings acquired J&P Cycles in January 2020.
