How Harcati Came to Be

Growing up in a small town just outside of Seattle, WA, I found myself falling in love with bicycles and motorcycles. At the age of 12, I got my first bike, a Yamaha IT 175. The bike was used, had a blown piston, and needed a lot of work and attention. Although I didn’t know anything about fixing motorcycles, I was determined to learn so that I could experience the full potential of my new ride. After researching all that I could, and talking to friends who had useful knowledge on the matter, I started rebuilding the engine.

Once it was in working condition, I had a blast riding it around town. I learned a lot about driving bikes, occasionally falling off once or twice. But I was sold, and began collecting more bikes and fixing them up as well.

After getting married in my early 20s, I never rode motorcycles again until 2020. Until one rainy afternoon after finishing an electrical job in Eugene, Oregon. My family and I were driving along, when I saw a Harley-Davidson dealership off the highway. I had some time to spare, so I decided to walk in and take a look at what they had on the show-floor.

The first bike I saw was a flat black motorcycle sitting amongst the chrome and other colorfully painted bikes. It was a model I had never seen before, and it was not your typical Harley Davidson. I was told that is was a brand new model that Harley just released, and that it was none other than the ‘FXDR’.

It truly was ‘love-at-first-sight’, and I was so taken by the motorcycle that I had to have it. I took it home, and began applying my previous knowledge of fixing bikes, making customizations to its internals and exterior. From that point on, my motorcycle changed into something so sleek and stunning that people that saw it began calling it “The Tron Bike“. The rest is history.
