Jeff Nicklus Customs LLC is Formed
Press Release.


Magnolia, TX – May 22, 2008 – Jeff Nicklus, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Desperado Motorcycles, announced earlier today that he had formed a new company known as Jeff Nicklus Customs LLC.

“As most of you are aware, during my tenure at Desperado Motorcycles I built a limited edition series of motorcycles known as the “Jeff Nicklus Signature Series”. While at Desperado I only created 4 of these individually hand built one-of-a-kind motorcycles annually. Over the last several years the demand for these motorcycles has far out reached my capabilities of manufacture thus leaving a back log of client orders. Currently I am almost 30 months out on a new Signature bike which is entirely too long to ask a client to wait for a motorcycle. With the creation of Jeff Nicklus Customs LLC combined with my recent resignation from Desperado, scheduled to take place this September, I am now free to increase the pace and quantity of my limited bikes considerably.” Nicklus stated. “Jeff Nicklus Customs LLC, is a fully licensed motorcycle manufacturer and as such I will concentrate my efforts into one goal that being the manufacture of between 10-14 high end motorcycles annually.” Nicklus continued. “I have waited for this opportunity for several years and now, with the slow down in the Production Custom Motorcycles market, it seems to be a perfect time for me to branch off. As I stated in the Press Release announcing my resignation from Desperado, it is simply time for me to seek a new creative outlet for my talents within the motorcycle industry and Jeff Nicklus Customs is that outlet.” Nicklus concluded.
