Tomracingdesigns.com: Building great bikes & sharing my adventures online.

An short introduction:

I'm Tom, a passionate Café Racer builder mostly known as Tahitian Rider on Youtube.

I've always loved riding and working on anything that has an engine and a handlebar for the past 15 years. I started to build Café Racers back in 2017, but I loved those bikes for a long time.

I've built 6 or 7 bikes so far, and restored 2 more (all of those can be find on my Youtube Channel), and I really plan on building more.

What I do:

I started making my builds, and actually almost all of them on a simple garage floor, with only a basic tool box, but I quickly noticed that one doesn't need to have a lot of tools to start building bikes, as long as you are passionate about it!

And I think that's the spirit of our homemade / shed built bikes and what makes them unique isn't it?

Creating an online platform:

I love to document my work and make videos, this is another passion of mine, that's why I also started a Timelapse build video series on Youtube, which a gain a lot in popularity with many videos reaching millions of view.

I build my bikes because this is something I love over all, I find this extremely relaxing and rewarding, but I am also very happy that other people like my work and ideas, and sharing those build videos with the world surely motivates me a lot.

Being on the MCU Partner Program:

I am very happy to partner up with Café Racer Webshop / Motorcycle United, I am actually a long time customer and bought many parts from here in all of my builds and has always been satisfied with the parts and customer service!

I think we share the same goals and values to encourage people and enthusiasts to build their dream bike and ride something to be proud of!

so stay tuned for more builds!
