Franklin St. Peoria, IL- Bruce & Gladys moved to Peoria purchasing Harley-Davidson® Sales and Service from Dewey Sims

Bruce joined/created the new Peoria Motorcycle Club

In 1951, Wayne J. Wiebler, at age 14, started working for Bruce as an apprentice. Wayne worked his way through service, retail, and into management by 1968

Wayne purchased the dealership from Bruce & Gladys in October 1979. He remodeled & expanded several times as the business continued to grow

Wayne moved the dealership to the current location, 615 S. Maxwell Rd. in Peoria, IL. With this move, the dealership almost tripled in size, allowing all aspects of the dealership to grow.
