Interview on Custom Motorcycle Culture in Singapore

marco koh and chris chong customburner

We shared some thoughts on the custom motorcycling scene in Singapore in an Awe50me interview here. Do check it out as it talks about how we started to rebuild classic motorcycles and our dreams of $1 COE for motorcycles.

Hoping for a biker in the government may be a long shot, but there is no denying that Singaporeans today are getting more outspoken and hungry for change. Perhaps the time is now right to put the custom motorcycling lifestyle in the positive light, instead of always getting ourselves suppressed by authorities with their overstated dangers of ‘illegal modifications’ and obsolete regulations.

Gone were the throttle-happy, mullet wearing lot in baggy jeans… Today’s retro riders are way more conscious of safety and grooming than in the 70s. Our passion for motorcycles is about celebrating the culture and art of customising our rides. Why should we be criminalised for that?

PS: The photo of us in riding leathers is not exactly how we look everyday… we look better (and slimmer) in person… and no, we are not related to that leather wearing dude from the park.
