Our Roots

We know the concept of hard work, that’s what our shop was built on. Small business is what we know, it’s foundational to what this country was built on. Our parents immigrated to this country and opened up car repair shops in the NW burbs of Chicago. They ran and continue to run them successfully for over 20+ years. Truthful when we say this ,but this is in our sangre!

At Mala Vida Cycles Inc, we embody the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defines motorcycle culture. Cranking the throttle down a long winding road not knowing what you’ll encounter but having the bravery to just go. We’ve always said, riding is something that you lose yourself in and find yourself all at the same time.
