Custom Bikes and Re-Builds

BMW Motorcycles, especially the RnineT and R18, make great custom bikes. With quality substance as the base and numerous alternative accessories these bikes just beg your imagination to come up with new creations. My after-work stress therapy involves customising and restoring bikes. Watch this space for new projects and progress!

What's this all about?

Making Custom Bikes Accessible

This site is all about exhibiting what is possible with (mostly) BMW Motorcycles and easily accessible custom parts - where I find local supply to be lacking, I try change this. For the rest, my focus is on using local talent and what I can do with a few standard tools in my garage and a limited budget. Same goes for the restorations. Surprise yourself with what can be done!
