Customshow Emirates 2017 - The official video

Great to see the official video of the Biker Build Off from Customshow Emirates which is somewhat slicker and more professional looking than our effort!

I can't believe it was only a couple of months ago we were there, it seems like a lifetime already....

Can't wait for next year!

For more video's check out Customshow Emirates YouTube Channel.

Bikeshed London pics from Gun Hill Studios

Some really great shots from Gun Hill Studios featuring Speed Weevil at Bikeshed London 2017. The depth of field really makes the details on the bike pop,, really wish I could do this sort of stuff with a camera!

You can view the whole album on their facebook page or checkout their other work at GunHillStudios.com

Bike Shed London 2017

If you find yourself at a loose end this Bank Holiday weekend then head on down to the Bike Shed show at Tobacco Dock in London. Open today and tomorrow, you can check out Speed Weevil and Swamp Water alongside an amazing selection of custom bikes. This is such a great venue for a show and reports are coming in that the sun may also make an appearance!!!

Europes finest at MotorBike Expo 2017

The first event coming up for Rocket Bobs in 2017 is the mahoosive Motor Bike Expo in Verona, Italy. Motor Bike Expo is one of the most important Custom Motorcycle events in the world and last year had over 155,000 visitors. With over 600 exhibitors and 70 shows taking place over the space of three days there is certainly plenty to see!

We always have a blast in Verona, and this year we are super excited to have a stand at the show and will be bringing along Speed Weevil and Gas'd Rat for their first foray into southern Europe. We will be in Hall 3, flanked by the lovely guys & gals from Hardnine Choppers and Custom Design Studios so stop by and say hi!

Speed Weevil takes Best Engineering at CustomBike 2016!

The CustomBike Championship in Germany is always a great event and this year has turned out to be extra special as Speed Weevil won the prestigious award for Best Engineering YAYY!!.  We couldn't be happier :)))  Thanks to the organisers who work so hard to make it the show it is, and to Blue Miller again for making sure we actually had some pics to remember it with!

The week that was - a wee taster

A taster of our week at Las Vegas Bikefest, Artistry in Iron 2016.

This video was made using a great wee phone app called Quik.  You just pick which photo's you want to use (it makes use of live photo's on the iphone which is a really useful feature) and it does all the work for you. Now that's my kind of app!

Goodbye Bike Shed for another year

Thanks to Bike Shed London for another great show. So professional, so slick and a lot of fun 🙏🏻

Just found my new favourite beer.....

Still loitering around at Bike Shed London and enjoying the refreshments,, well it would be rude not to. I think I may be in love with Beavertown Brewery.

Bike Shed London 2016 🚀

Just been down to the big old smokeArooni to get Skink in place for this weekend's Bike Shed event. The show is open all weekend at Tobacco Dock in London, possibly the coolest bike show venue ever. In fact I'd quite like to live there,, anyone got a spare gazillion pounds they could lend me?

Anyhoo,, if you want to see some great bikes and maybe enjoy a few beers then get yourself down there.  Just keep yer muddy feet off my sofa's....

Artistry in Iron, Master Builders Championship - Las Vegas Bikefest 2016

Holy shit!  We have been invited to take part in Artistry in Iron, Master Builders Championship 2016 which runs as part of Las Vegas Bikefest at the end of September. The competition is by invitation only and is limited to just 20 bikes!

It's all going to be a bit tight as we only have a few months to build the bike for this,, and we have yet to build our bike 'Speed Weevil' for the AMD World Championships in Cologne, Germany in October and our Biker Build Off bike for the Custom Show Emirates which takes place in Abu Dhabi in March 2017.  And all this on top of all the normal orders for parts still coming in and the customer bikes we have booked in for work over the summer.

AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!  I could start to panic......

Biker Build Off - Custom Show Emirates

We are excited to announce that Rocket Bobs have been invited to take part in the Biker Build Off at the 2017 Custom Show Emirates which takes place in Abu Dhabi and is the biggest custom car and bike show in the Middle East 😎👍

So excited right now! More details to follow......

After a 2000+ mile ride from England we picked up best in show at the Sicily Custom Show YAYY :)

Bike Shed on film

As usual we didn't manage to get our act together to get the camcorder out for Bike Shed London but there are some cool videos up on YouTube,, here's a couple that have done a great job of covering the show (and they may also show a wee glimpse of Gas'd Rat) ...

Bike Shed London 2015

Well it was Rocket Bobs first visit to Bike Shed London and we had a blast!
