For more than 9 years, Cruiser Customizing, Inc. has been serving the metric cruiser biker population with a great product selection, fair prices, excellent customer service, and comprehensive product reviews on thousands of products. In July of 2008 we launched our metric biker community and to date boast the largest international metric community online.
As passionate bikers, we sat down together, defined our core values, and translated them into our aspirations for the Cruiser Customizing family. We determined that our top priority is to foster communities online where bikers can meet other bikers, share personal and motorcycle related content, help each other, learn new skills, gain product knowledge, and ultimately make informed buying decisions.
Each of us at Cruiser Customizing, Inc. work individually to cultivate the biker spirit around us, and now as a family we are dedicated 100% to translating that into an international community for all bikers to connect, share, learn, and buy. Everything you need to make your riding lifestyle the best it can be, all under one roof.

| Uwe Druckenmueller (UWE999) CEO and Founder |
 |
Hi guys and gals, my name is Uwe (pronounced oo-vay) Druckenmueller, CEO and founder of Cruiser Customizing.
I'm an import from Germany, came to the US to study computer science in Baton Rouge. Afterwards I went to work for an e-commerce company in San Francisco, right at the start of the dot-com boom. We built web sites day and night for a few years until the "hype" was gone.
I decided to combine my passion for motorcycles with the Internet and turn it into a business...
I used to ride sport bikes in Germany, discovered my love for cruisers in the US and got a beautiful Honda 1100 Aero in 2000 and a 1800 Wing in 2002.
In 2002 I rode over 30,000 miles on my Aero and Goldwing when I visited all the major bike rallies to promote the CruiserCustomizing.com website.
Fast forward 8 years: I'm truly blessed having found an such awesome group of experienced, passionate, and dedicated CC team. Just read below .... |

| Steve Hookey CFO |
 |
Howdy! My name is Steve Hookey and I'm the "numbers" guy at Cruiser. I've worked for many companies over the years in various industries but this is by far the most interesting and fun! The passion our customers have for their bikes is amazing and we here at Cruiser Customizing (we're just as passionate about our bikes too!) are thrilled to provide great accessories, Tips-Of-The-Week, and a Community second to none. |

| Kyle Bradshaw (MANYBIKES) Community Director |
 |
In May of this year will mark my 7th year of career development with the most Awesome company in the world: Cruiser Customizing! Throughout these years we have grown, shifted, and have become on of my favorite places to spend my "off of bike" time. Our Community is rocking and I love the friendships I have made with our members from around the world!
Motorcycling has been a way of life in my family for the past four generations. My grandfather Ted began riding in the 60's on a 125cc Harley Davidson. Over the years he rode many bikes and at one point he was a motor cop for the the State of Utah. His last bike was a 1978 Honda CX500 which he rode until the late 80's before handing it down to my father before it was handed down to me, making it my first on-road motorcycle.
I have been riding for almost 25 years and enjoy all genres of motorcycling. Currently in my garage you will find Cruising, Touring, Sport, Dirt, and Enduro motorcycles. I Love them all and they are as follows: 2008 BMW GS1200 Adventure, 2007 KTM 450 exc, 2007 Viva 200, 2006 Honda Goldwing GL1800, 2003 Honda VTX 1300S, 2003 Honda VFR 800Fi, and 2002 Suzuki DRZ400.
Riding motorcycles is my hobby, my passion, my mode of transportation, my source of income, and my life... thus my handle "Manybikes" |

I like to ride when the weather is nice, I currently ride a 2005 Honda CBR600RR... You name it I have done it to this bike... it tops out at about 170mph and believe me I have been there many times.... I also currently own a Honda XR50 which is a blast to ride around the neighborhood and it works pretty well on BMX tracks...
I currently live in Northern California where we get a ton of good ridding weather and believe me we have some of the best twisties in the country.... Just check out some of ManyBikes videos!!! |

| Chris (SEEDUB) Williams Purchasing Manager |

I ride a 2003 Roadking and I have been working at Cruiser Customizing since March of 09, and it has been AWESOME! I love all motorcycles, and wish I had more. I sold my 05 R1 and replaced it with my Roadking about a year ago and love it. Since I have started at Cruiser I have honestly never had a day I didn't feel like coming to work. |

Hi There! I am a senior staff accountant at Cruiser Customizing. My duties are bank & GL reconciliations, month end close, and payroll processing. I lived in CA all my life. I'm not a rider but I've been a passenger on a Ninja 600. It was quite a fun experience! |

| Al Piazza (PIZZAMAN) Fulfillment Team |
 |
Names Al, aka Pizzaman, I work in fulfillment and have been with Cruiser going on 7 years in April. I own a '03 Goldwing and an '02 VTX 1800. Love to ride but have not been so consistent which generates a lot of good humored badgering from the rest of the crew, especially ManyBikes who loves to announce to the company that Pizzaman rode to work today and should be a national holiday.
I have enjoyed my tenure here at CC working with Uwe and the rest of the folks and enjoy reminiscing about the good old days back when I first started in 2003. I enjoy the dedication of all the folks here at CC and commit to making the customer experience as pleasant as possible. |

Our passion is to bring you the best tools content and community on the web for motorcycle enthusiasts. Interacting with fellow riders from around the world helps to fuel our desire for innovation and some of the things we have on the horizon are going to be amazing. It is a great time to be a member of the CC world!
I am an avid rider and have been most of my life. It all started on a Honda CR 125 Elsinore back when I was 8...A shadow in college and assorted other bikes just fueled my passion to ride even more. My current ride is a 1999 VT 1100 A.C.E. Shadow. Looking into a Crossbones next year. Look for me on the community and keep the rubber side down!. |

Hello, my name is Des. I've been here with Cruiser Customizing almost 4 years and I like to think I dabble in many things here. Such as return processing, helping our customers and whatever else I can get in and do. I like to ride on the back, but that doesn't make me a sissy. I don't need a bar, unless they are serving drinks. Haha. |

| Nick Schreiber (NICK56289) Customer Service |
 |
My name is Nick and I am a Cruiser Customizing employee. I have been riding bikes since I was 18 and will probably keep riding as long as I am physically able. My first bike was a 2002 Triumph TT600 which I loved to death... literally. I put over 30,000 miles on that bike in the first 2 years that I had it, apparently they dont last much longer than that. Since then my arsenal of bikes has extended to 2 Vulcan 1500's, a Suzuki Bandit 1200, a Virago 750 and a Honda Magna. I love to work on bikes almost as much as I love to ride them. I am currently a senior working on my engineering degree and I am loving every second of it.
If riding has taught me one thing, its that each day brings you a little more experience for the next one.
Ride Hard and Ride Safe |
