Specialise in custom themed choppers USA , AUSTRALIA , ASIA...Snake Charmer Choppers Biography I was born in 1969 I grew up in a small country town called Bathurst nsw Australia with a population of 39,000 where children of European decent were not liked. It made my growing years in and out of school a tough and extremely violent experience. Trying to survive as a one man race, caused me to get expelled from every school I attended. My parents tried their best to keep me occupied and out of trouble. However, when they gave me my first bike at the age of 8, a mini Z50, my love affair with bikes began & still exists with a fierce passion. My early teens saw me officially escorted out of town by the boys in blue, which forced me into going to TAFE (taught by the best at Granville). My trade began in panel beating, spray painting and when I completed my trade I specialized in restoring cars. At the time I made a fat income so was able to turn my energy back into my first love, bikes. I was doing what all boys dream of, buying my first Harley. Customizing Choppers wasn’t something I dreamed of doing. As they say, It just happened. After modifying, designing choppers I found that it was something I did well. I always created something that blew everyones mind away - so the collection began. I worked my ass off, Overtime became the proud owner of a few more choppers. I took a turn and I spent some time away from society for around 4 years and the only way to survive was to have a dream. Imagining up bikes and sketching them to paper seemed to make the time pass quicker. When I was released into society again there was nothing waiting for me but job rejections and closed doors, as nobody would give an ex-criminal a chance. This pushed me to be successful and to beat the system by never returning to prison, and showing the world I could make it. No one had ever escorted a wedding or any special occasion by a fleet of custom choppers which became a blessing from god and a bonus that I could get paid, stay out of trouble pouring my energy into my business. So in 1991 City Classic Bike Hire was founded and was just this beginning of my many endevours. A few years ago I sold almost every chopper I owned to build that dream bike I spent so many years thinking about. ‘The Blade’ represents the time I spent in prison and the sharp blade in which I was viscously attacked by that nearly took my life. . The Blade shocked everyone that laid their eyes on it, even myself and the response I got blew me away. I could never prepare myself for the success this bike generated. I entered it into shows and it took the industry by storm, winning awards for Best Custom Chopper, Best Custom American Paint and Best American Airbrush at the MCX motorcycle expo in 2006 which re-assured me that I had found my calling. The Second Bike I built was named ‘Wet and Wild’. This bike represents the girls getting wet and wild but most importantly the mothers tears shed other the inmates in prison. This bike has a custom paint job, with water droplets made from a secret technique only few know exists. This chopper won awards for the best chopper and best paint at Auto Salon in 2007. I built the worlds very first ‘Indigenous Dreamtime’ chopper, that represents all cultures and all race in Australia. With aboriginal art work, hand painted by famous aboriginal artist Richard Campbell. Custom paint designed to look like wood grain. With a boomerang for the handlebars representing the journey I took to create this Chopper, collaborating all cultures. The Headlight showing all colours, symbolising the different colours of the human race. Didgeridoo for exhaust and an airbrushed childs hand on the back guard to symbolise unity for our future generations. The Spears and the warrior shield represent honour, protection, struggle and survival. I grew up in the country with snakes and have loved and been around them since a young age. I started Snakecharmer Choppers in 2006 when Freestyle magazine Branded me as the Snakecharmer. I grew up in the country with snakes and have loved and been around them since a young age.
