Owner of Riff Raff Customs built this baby and yes that is a shot glass and a bottle of Tequila. I had the distinct pleasure to meet Scott at the very Arlen Ness Bike Show which was the birth of ODC Magazine (the very first year of Off Da Chain Magazine), I remember walking pass Scott’s booth and seeing him look like he had a rough night, as we talk he explained to me that was feeling a bitter rough, I wondered did Tequila have anything to with it?
Scott has been building and painting custom cars and bikes for over 15 years. In 1995 he decided to make custom motorcycles his specialty. Scott has all the talents and skills that make a great custom bike builder, he can fabricate, paint, stripe and build them from the ground up.
Every bike that Scott builds gets his very own personal touch through the entire process. Scott operates a small shop and everyone knows him and his work and like most they are his friends as well as customers.
Scott loves his work and his job , he is one of the top builders in the Bay Area, stay tune for more from him and his creations.
In case you are wondering how Scott came up with the idea for this bike here you go; Scott told me he was on vacation in of course Mexico, and of course he had been drinking Tequila. He was in a little town called Todo Santos about an hour north of Cabo San Lucas.
Scott told me he saw all these tequilas he had never heard of, and of course he had to try them, some were incredibly smooth and others were a shot to the gut. Nirvana! Scott said it was then that he decided to do a tequila themed bike. So like anyone doing research for a project Scott bought a bunch of bottles of tequila that he couldn’t get in the states and maneuvered them past customs.
With his new assortment of the Tequila brands safely at home, he decided to remove all the labels off the bottles and glue them on the gas tank. After that the tank was gel coated to bury all the labels. Then his attention went to other goodies on the bike like the shot glass for the overflow and breathers, the 1/2 pint in the leather holster and so on. The engine is an 88 ci Evo w Knuckle rocker boxes. The frame is 6 up, 6 out, w a total of 51 deg rake.
Fabricating - Painting - Building & Stripping
I have had the pleasure of shooting this bike and the honor of having Scott as a friend and as a valuable resource to create some hot & sexy covers from photo shoot with his damn ass bikes. Scott is currently working on some really cool shit that will blow your mind and I am looking forward to having grace our covers once more with these upcoming projects. If you are interested in having Scott give your machine some custom looks drop him a line.
