BRIEF HISTORY

In late 2003 Stewart Rodwell formed TSS motorcycles with Sam and Taka, and that is where the name TSS motorcycles came from! 

Stewart and Taka brought in two container loads of used motorcycles from Japan. “I intended to be a wholesaler and sell them on to local bike shops but that just didn’t work. So, within two months I became a dealer and hired two mechanics.” 

Sam left, since that was not what he had signed up for, and Taka was unable to get citizenship. With a newly failed marriage and barely able to get $200 a week to support himself from the new business, Stewart began to grow the new team. 

To begin with he was living in a room in the building he leased to store motorcycles, while also maintaining shared custody of his young teen daughter. Luckily, motorcycles was his passion.  He had been riding since 6 years old, bought his first motorbike at 15 and didn’t learn to drive until he was 22 when he needed a car for work. TSS motorcycles became his entire focus. 

He wouldn’t stop and bought other passionate motorcyclists into the team with the dream of working in the biggest and best motorcycle shop around.  As business increased, he was able to get bigger and better franchises, to sell iconic new motorcycle brands, as well as continuing to sell quality second hand motorcycles. 

“I was told I had rocks in my head and now the person who told me that has been working for me well over 10 years and is the Dealer Principal.”

In 2007 he married Chevanne who shared his interest in motorcycles, martial arts and understood the all-consuming nature of business. Along with his wife and kids, he trained in martial arts, pursued key personnel and franchises, and in 2017 she wound up her small businesses to work alongside the team at TSS Motorcycles. 

Stewart’s lifelong passions have been motorbikes, martial arts and tanks. Long time visitors to the shop may remember his WW2 tank collection, and there are still some in the big office! As a young man he had a martial arts supplies shop “But I got burgled out of existence.”

Today the grandchildren are not as keen on combat sports and Stewart is keen to get to the track to support his grandson and TSS motorcycles’ supported riders. 

Jimmy took over as Dealer Principal 2023, and runs the shop with the assistance, expertise and experience of the TSS motorcycles team. He also supports his son in Keiren Mair racing and many other riders through TSS Motorcycles supporting the local racing community.

Andrew Lawrence and now Jay have been instrumental in the development of the massive parts and apparel department upstairs. Ground level genuine parts and accessories was later established to showcase our brands KTM, Triumph, Indian and Suzuki, plus support those riders and the TSS sales and workshop teams.

THE TEAM

Andrew Lawrence is now working part time on Level 1, Parts and Accessories where he was instrumental in creating the motorcyclists ‘Aladin’s Cave’ look and feel that TSS motorcycles is known for. As well as supporting his son Jay Lawrence’s racing career that included best Novice in Isle of man 2020, he has ensured access to a wide range of aftermarket parts, accessories and apparel for us all. 

Jay Lawrence, has recently taken over P1 and promises to bring a new efficiency without compromising the experience and expertise that his father has provided us. 

Amy brings experience to the young and dynamic parts team. In fact Amy’s father worked at TSS motorcycles so she really has been a part of the team since she was about 12!
