The Builders & The Bikes
Nick Anglada of Custom Sportbike Concepts (CSC)® (www.cscbikes.com)
Best known for premier builds such as the 2006 Yamaha R1 "Juice" and most recently the L-R-G 2008 Hayabusa, Anglada is set to unveil the Fisher House Honda CBR1000, to be auctioned off with all proceeds to benefit Fisher House, helping our military in their time of need. CSC is a pioneer in the metric world, leading the evolution of fat-backed sportbikes. Their customization concepts leave a lasting impression that is not easily forgotten and never duplicated.
Robert Fisher of Roaring Toyz (www.roaringtoyz.com/)
Robert Fisher, owner of Roaring Toyz in Sarasota, Florida, has created a large assortment of custom sportbikes and has built sportbikes for notable celebrities, including the famous Maxim Magazine featured Kawasaki ZX-14 for rap star Ludacris. He also created the first ever custom ZX-14 for Kawasaki Corporation. Fisher will be in Atlanta to showcase his latest creations including the Project H Honda CBR1000RR. The CBR was created to promote the Honda official licensed Project H line of apparel and has been featured on the cover of several magazines. Roaring Toyz designs, manufactures and distributes parts that push the custom scene to new levels.
Louis Grasse of H2o Cycles (http://www.h2ocycles.com)
Famous for its plastic chrome plating, H2o Cycles owner Louis Grasse, has taken this process to the next level with his latest creation, "Copper Shadows". This copper-plated 2006 Kawasaki ZX-14, shown as the cover bike on 2Wheel Tuner's May 2007 issue, is the first of its kind. Grasse not only introduced a new element into the world of customization, but also successfully unlocked the secret to preventing the lustrous metal from patinaing, or going green.
And for those chopper and big twin enthusiasts, two-time Biker Build-Off Champ, Matt Hotch along with Sam Nehme will showcase their latest award-winning builds at the Atlanta show.
"The world's largest motorcycle show is thrilled to have the largest U.S. collection of pro built custom sportbikes together under one roof," states Jeff D'Entremont, group show director. "These one-of-a-kind custom creations, combined with five regional vintage clubs and our Motocross America exhibit, provides a stunning collection of bikes for all types of enthusiasts." The tour, widely known for displaying over 600 of the latest bikes and ATVs from 19 original manufacturers, stops in Atlanta, before heading off to Cleveland, Minneapolis and Chicago.
