More cool customs…

Check out the great colors coming in for a couple of cool custom P-51s!

I know…I said a couple and that photo above actually shows three tanks.   The orange tank is one of our stock colors, but it’s so pretty I didn’t have the heart to take it out of the above photo.   It’s the center and left tank that are going on our next two custom bikes, and wow, the story behind them is cool!

Imagine a family so into CSC motorcycles they weren’t happy with just one, or two, or three…

Yep, the Todd family in Houston bought no fewer than four of these modern Mustangs!

The Todds started with two 250cc P-51 Classics (one in Ruby Red and the other in our classic Gloss Black).   Two bikes weren’t enough for the Todds, though…they came back with an order for two more!  Yes, friends, you read that right.  All four of the Todds are going to be rolling around in Houston on California Scooters!

The next two Todd cycles are custom bikes.   One has a theme we’ve sparingly used before…it’s the two-tone turquoise and white tank in middle of the above photo.   We did a Beach Cruiser in those colors about three years ago…it’s similar to our Baby Doll paint theme, except instead of pink and white it will be turquoise and white.  This is going to be a magnificent motorcycle.

The other Todd custom is an all-out green affair with silver accents.  When its painted parts arrived in the factory yesterday morning, the reaction was simple:   Wow!

Check out the tank for this bad boy, folks…

And how about the matching frame…

The Todds are going  all the way with this one…take a look at the detail parts…

We do quite a few custom bikes…it’s one of our greatest strengths.   And you know, you can get on a pretty wild custom California Scooter built to your specifications for a surprisingly small chunk of change.   These bikes are art, folks…art you can ride and admire.  It just doesn’t get too much better than that.

When I was in the plant yesterday, Steve shared some ideas he has in mind for his next two custom bikes.  Most of the time we build customs to our clients’ specifications, like the two described above.  On occasion, though, Steve does a wild bike or two just because it’s in his nature.  He’s an engineering artist, and he likes working with the P-51 palette to keep his creative talents tuned.

Steve is cooking up a couple of creative California Scooters that will be unlike any we’ve done before.   Consider an all black CSC motorcycle with styling cues from old German bikes.   Maybe another one based on a famous mechanical movie character.   Oh, he was on a roll yesterday…right down to the details on a set of custom-spoked wire wheels he has in mind.  Folks, it’s great fun being around the California Scooter Company.   When Steve spins up his creativity, though, the fun factor goes off the charts!

I’ll post more photos as the Todd bikes come together and share them with you right here on the blog, boys and girls.  Who knows…you might get an idea or two for your dream bike, and we’d sure be happy to build it for you!
