100% Biker feature on Bankrobber

Following on from the recent Ally Pally win, Bankrobber makes the cover of 100% Biker magazine. Head on over to http://www.rocketbobs.biz/#!bankrobber-gall/ce52 to read the full article.

a little update......

there are three main builds at the moment in the shop that we are focussed on, as delays and problems have struck and put us behind. Waiting on paint, parts and even powder right now is adding too much time, plus developing new parts as you're running through a job is always difficult. Our new lobster back race pipes are now going to be fabbed solely from sheet, it's the only way we can achieve the bends/tapers we need and nail the look . So the guys who work with us on these also fab F1 pipes and a bunch of other extraordinary work & as the best in the world, they are rammed ! Which puts delays in our timeline.

So this post is turning into a whine :D I can change that easily, the new shop is awesome, working on bikes now is so much easier and we got part time staff also! Things are ace and once Beaulieu is out the way we should have the retail shop and coffee bar setup also :D

Here's a few pix,, tweaking the Shovel in between work, Sickboyz & Noble Custom Sickles came to visit and dya have any idea how much those pallets were swaying about !!

Tool Time,,,,

So y'all know we moved ? Well the new shop is a big step up for us and finally a space where we can hit the work we have rolling in. One thing was lacking though, the old tool setup was woefull, we had tools spilling out of everywhere in the old shop and needed some order.

In steps Tony Kriz, my friend from Denver and the reason I now have a Shovel!

He hooked me up with these monsters, no shit the big one weighs 1/4 of a tonne and rolls on six big ass sprung wheels :)

Anyway,, thanks Tony, too cool Bud............

We're on the move....

Well in fact it's been a week of upheaval as the old shop needed packing up, meanwhile the new shop had to be negotiated and some how the keys got hold of. Normally takes six weeks but we drove it through in ten days.

However now the actual move! First load went in yesterday and hopefully we will break the back of it this weekend, but actually setting up is a different matter. There's no electric , and I mean none, no board nothing! No water no lights (obviously) .. Nothing!!

I hope we are back up and running by the end of next week. In which case we will have done it quicker than last time.

Here's a few pix:

Walt's Harley Davidson Pintail

Some great shots from Walt of his 2011 Harley Davidson Street Bob with a Rocket Bobs Pintail Seat Unit in Vivid Black with custom red stitching detail.

Here's a promise

Yeah I know,, it's been ages,, PLUS I know most posts start out saying that and saying its gonna change :(

Well it is, this time ,,, this time I am going to get to posting a lot up here, not just what we are doing but of the whole scene we are wrapped up in...

So the update here is simple really, we are rammed in the shop! Trying to tie in with some fabricators who are the best in the world at pipe work, so our frames, pipes & bars are second to none.

Just about keeping up with parts orders but bike builds are suffering because, now I've seen the quality of what we can achieve I want it on everything!

We are on the cover of this months American V with a lot of features inside & we've just done the cover shoot for 100% Biker.

Hopefully in the next few weeks we will be moving to much larger premises, if we do ill post up here and there will be an open day in June which ya gotta come to !
