Classic-bike-imports.com is owned and run by Steve Robinson who is an ex pat Brit now living in South Africa. He has been a biker for the last 40 years and has owned, ridden and/or raced many of what have now become classic motorcycles. Over the years, Steve has restored and/or rebuilt well over 20 classic motorcycles from scratch and his first project was a 600cc Panther sloper that he rebuilt from a box of bits and a frame when he was just 12 years old. From that time to current date, he has pretty much always had at least one on going project in his garage and the current one is a Royal Enfield 700cc Constellation. Amongst the many machines he's restored over the years are the following: BSA Rocket Gold Star, Velocette Venom, Panther 600cc sloper, pre unit Triumph Bonneville, BSA A 10, Honda CB500 - 4 and a Honda CB750 -4.
His personal transport is currently a 1982 Honda CB900F and a 1980 Jeep Wagoneer. He is a member of the Automobile Heritage Association in South Africa and has previously worked as a motorcycle mechanic and in motorcycle sales and later as a commercial aircraft avionics engineer, mostly on the Boeing and Concorde fleets and for some years worked as an RAC/ACU motorcycle instructor.
Steve's other interests are light aircraft flying (which he does badly!) all aspects of African wildlife and wildlife photography.
