Hartz Bros Custom Cycle

I met Josh and Rob Hartz two years ago at the Syracuse Super Swap. I was instantly impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship of their builds. Clean, strong and well thought out machines that speak for themselves. No fuss, no muss, just straight forward Triumph chops.

Hatrz Bros Custom Cycle in Watertown, Ny has been producing,
restoring, rebuilding, customizing, and building custom one of kind Triumph bobbers & servicing/customizing V-twins for the past few years. Their full builds are NEVER original chopped bikes.. They build every bike from piles of parts that we personally search out and purchase.. They use 70 and earlier stock Triumph front frame sections, and only the highest quality donor motors that we rebuild here in-house from the sludge tube up to the head steadies.

Josh says of his builds, "Our bikes run like new,feel like new, and look like new, well because they basically are."

These shots are from this year's Super Swap where they had two new builds. It was great to see you guys again. Hit them up for all your motorcycle needs.

Machine Head Cycles Red Hook, NY

Machine Head Cycles was started in 2004 by Ashton Smith And Helen Zouvelekis. Both worked for Woodstock Harley for years before venturing out to create their own vision in an independent bike shop. Joe Gee rounds out the full time team and together they create a very welcoming friendly atmosphere. They focus on big twins, but they service just about everything under the sun. Helen runs the retail side that includes their own line of jewelry, shirts, gloves, helmets, etc. She also is responsible for all of the financial management. They are in Red Hook on Rte 199 between rt 9 and the Taconic Parkway.

Here's their website: http://www.machineheadcycles.com/
