Sit Down WithUR: When and why did you get into the motorcycle industry?SC: I started building and customizing baggers in 2008. The Bagger trend was just starting to kick off andArizona was the birth place. Once I saw Doug Eggleston’s custom Bagger I was hooked. John Shope was onthe forefront of custom baggers and I had to start customizing myself.UR: First motorcycle – year/make/model and would you buy it back if you could?SC: My first motorcycle was a 1981 Harley low rider. I loved that bike. I would buy it back in a second.UR: Other professions or businesses past or present.SC: At 19 years old I started my first company in New York called Auto Infatuations. We specialized incustomizing and window tinting. I had that business till 33 when I moved to Arizona. I did window tintingin Arizona till 2010 when I opened cylent cycles.UR: Some of your favorite things about the motorcycle industry?SC: Things are always evolving. New styles new products new designs .of Cylent CyclesI met Scott Capalbo during Cave Creek bike week 2019. My first impression of Scott, as he came out of his shop, wasthis muscle-bound guy with a thick New York accent & wearing a leather Cylent Cycles vest. My first thought was,how did this guy get to Arizona, and am I going to get my ass kicked? Those first impressions faded after the first fiveminutes of talking to Scott. He took time out of his day to give us a shop tour and tell us about his manufacturingprocess. After the tour, he asked about our itinerary while we were in town because he wanted to show us aroundduring our stay. When the rest of our crew got into town, we met Scott & Trish in old town Scottsdale and agreedto go on a ride with them. The next day as we turned off-highway, the paved road faded into gravel, then dirt, andthen no road at all. As we quickly found out, Scott’s new house is in the middle of the desert (I think he forgot I wasriding a 32 with his showstopper kit lol)! After getting a tour of Scott’s beautiful new home and spending time soak-ing in the awesome desert scenery, we were off! With Scott and his father John leading the way, the first stop was inGoldfield Mine town. Next was off to Tortilla Flats for lunch and the last stop being Canyon lake. Experiencing thatride was by far the highlight of our trip. After spending time with Scott, his family, and friends, we all concludedhe is definitely one of the nicest, most genuine guys in the industry. Be sure to check out all the new and excitingproducts Cylent Cycles have to offer; they are definitely some of the coolest in the industry.UR: Where were you born and raised and how did you get to where you are now (If different states)?SC: I was born and raised in New York. In 2003 I finally had the funds and opportunity to get out of thatmiserable state. I’ve always liked the warm weather so I had 2 options Florida or Arizona. I’ve always lovedFlorida but my first trip to Arizona changed everything. 3 months later I bought my house in Arizona and36URBAN RIDES MAGAZINE March 2020
