Meet Jill Parham—co-founder of J&P Cycles, Sturgis Motorcycle Museum Hall of Fame inductee, and a woman who helped build one of the biggest names in the motorcycle industry.
In this episode of MotorFemmes, Kay talks with Jill about starting J&P Cycles with her husband, John, in 1979 and growing it from a small-town Iowa business into a major force in motorcycling.
Jill shares what it was like working in a male-dominated industry, building a business together as husband and wife, connecting with riders across the country, and watching more and more women find their place in motorcycling.
She also reflects on the National Motorcycle Museum, nearly four decades of Sturgis, the motorcycles that hold some of her most treasured memories, and the legacy she and John built together.
It’s a story about motorcycles, entrepreneurship, partnership, perseverance, and a woman who helped shape an industry.
At MotorFemmes, we celebrate the women who were there building the motorcycle world—and the legacy they leave for the women coming behind them.
