Chariots of Fire Builds a Hot Bike
Remember the first day of class in high school? That
awkward moment when the teacher looks directly at you
and asks you to stand up and tell the class a little bit about
yourself? Welcome to my moment…handed to me
because…well…I can type.
A few months back, Jim wandered into our shop, and
apparently he thought it was pretty cool. Either that, or he
had such a great time shootin’ the breeze with the folks
behind the counter that he decided to get the word out so
others could stop by and hang out too. Whatever the case,
we sure enjoyed his company and are pretty tickled that he
gave us a little space to brag for a bit!
The owners of Chariots of Fire Customs, LLC—Jan and
Reine Knobbe—dreamed for years of their own cycle shop.
As attention-getting as a “Dykes with Bikes” shop could
have been [not that there’s anything wrong with that—ed.],
that’s not the case here…we’re definitely talking husband
and wife. (Think you’re tough? Try growing up as a dude
with a name like Jan!) Last March, that dream became a
reality. In opening Chariots of Fire Customs, LLC, Jan
brought with him 27 years of both mechanical and custom
bike building experience. With all those years under his
belt, Jan can get your bike running whether it’s American
or metric.
Since opening last March, Chariots of Fire has been actively
involved in community and charity endeavors, as well as a
few fun events for those of us immersed in the biker world.
During the good weather months, we host Thursday night
dinner rides. It’s a great chance to get together with other
bikers for good meals, good rides, and good company.
Whether you’ve been riding for years or only a month,
you’re welcome to come along.
In addition to carrying a decent supply of parts to maintain
your ride, we also are dealers for a host of vendors such as
Drag Specialties, Parts Unlimited, Kuryakyn, Mustang
Seats, Barney’s Leather, Bassini Pipes, Paul Yaffee
Originals, Power Commander, and the list goes on….
Recently we acquired Harley-Davidson Dealer Pricing
Status, which means we can now get Harley products at
lower cost and pass those savings on to you. In short: you
need it, we can get it! Not only that, typically we can get it
to you at a significantly lower cost than the big guys out
there.
If you’re tired of being treated like just another customer,
stop by and check us out. While you’re at it, be sure to
