Hermitage, PA – July 31, 2006 – Hardbikes torture tests their production motorcycles with real world riding to ensure durability, performance and quality workmanship. Harry Bostard, infamous biker-at-large and Motor Drome rider, has just completed 17,000 miles on a production SC330 Chopper taken right off the production line in April of this year.
“Everyone talks about the quality and durability of their bikes but actually proving it to the riding public can be another matter all together,” said Bob Kay, Hardbikes’ VP Sales and Marketing. “Hardbikes has stated their commitment to quality and reliability from day-one and we have developed a system to assure that every one of our custom motorcycles will be the best handling, most reliable custom bike on the road.”
Hardbikes employs a multi-phase quality program that begins with the motorcycle design. Bob Kay taps his 35 years of motorcycle experience and develops a motorcycle blueprint. Kay’s design is turned over to engineering to confirm every aspect from chassis design to component compatibility.
As issues come up in the evaluation program they are resolved and integrated back into the production cycle.
As Bostard pulled into the Sturgis HardBikes, Lazelle street location with The Girls of Bikernet waiting he said, “This is the best handling, most comfortable, long fork chopper I have ever ridden.” Not a bad comment after 17,000 miles.
Bostard received a lot of comments during his cross country test trip on the SC330 big-meat Chopper. The most common remark was how many enthusiasts were surprised to see a beautiful custom chopper actually being ridden long distance.
Hardbikes is very proud and stands tall next to every custom motorcycle created out of their Hermitage, PA facility. We encourage everyone to visit their local dealer and take a 330 for a test ride. We know you will be pleasantly surprised and the only challenge will be how fast we can build one for you.
Hardbikes is committed to building a manufacturing process and selling system that supports the unique culture and individuality of the American V-Twin rider. Once a customer designs the bike of their dreams, Hardbikes builds the motorcycle to fit the individual customer perfectly. Its patent-pending Hardrider system ensures each customer gets a bike built to their exact specifications.
All Hardbikes dealers will have a Hardbikes Design Center on their showroom floor featuring a computer-aided design station, a Chopper fitment fixture, and a Pro-Street fitment fixture.
