My main scoot and pride and joy is a 2002 Triumph Bonneville I also have a 1998 Sporty and I've had tons of cheap Yamaha's and a other Triumphs.
I have been on two wheels since I was 8 years old like most I started out on dirt and moved to the street when I was 15 riding anything I could get my hands on. I went through my speed phase but eventually started gravitating towards choppers. When I met Bobby I told him what I wanted to do with a new Bonneville and he took me up on it. I loved what he did with my bike and the next couple of builds he did so when he said he wanted to open up a shop I jumped at the chance to join in.
I've been in the army since 1992, deployed to twice to Iraq and looking forward to retirement so I can be at the shop full time and focus on motorcycles. In the meantime while I am traveling I will handle the internet sales so if you are looking for parts for your bike or one of the bikes we have for sale give me a call or send me an email.
