Ted's Motorcycle World

Here at Ted's Motorcycle World, Inc. of Alton, Illinois, we're proud of our tradition of bringing quality products and services to the St. Louis Metro area. After all, we've been at it now for over 44 years! The doors of Ted's Motorcycle World first opened in July of 1966. Original owner, Ted Burel son, and a staff of two employees manned the store until 1974 when consistent growth mandated the work force be increased. The business continued to prosper and Ted made the decision to take on a Honda franchise as well, beginning with 1981 model year bikes. In February of 1997, Bill Stewart joined the staff at Ted's as General Manager and Melinda worked in the office. In December of 1999, when Ted announced his decision to retire, Bill and Melinda opted to purchase the business. They and their team have helped Ted's Motorcycle World continue to realize a steady growth in more aspects than just sales. Bill is often heard proudly boasting about the "biggest" sales team in the Midwest - he also gladly invites anyone to bring in a scale if they think he's kidding! All joking aside, business is still booming and we're still expanding to meet the growing needs of motorcycle enthusiasts throughout the St. Louis Metro area.
