Battistinis, Votwo The Oner

Battistinis, Votwo The Oner

So the weekend has just passed and whilst we would prefer to be out on two wheels we actually spent the complete weekend shifting a showroom into place and boy oh boy is it starting to take shape!


Talking of taking shape we have just looked at the wall planner and realised that our very good friends at www.votwo.co.uk have the mother of all ultra trail runs on next weekend. We like things that are taken to the limit and believe us when we say that the Oner takes you to exactly that! If a self navigating triple coastal marathon over the world famous Jurassic coast line within 24 hours is up your street click the link below!

Simply put, this is as tuff as they come!

> > > CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE ON THE ONER < < <


If the Oner is asking a bit much, remember the Jurassic Coast Challenge!


Votwos signature endurance running event the Jurassic Coast Challenge also returns to the Dorset coast path for 2010. A 26.2 mile marathon each day for 3 days running, jogging, walking or crawling from Lyme Regis to Poole along beautiful but brutal coastal terrain. A true test of fitness and determination for those who find modern life just a little bit too comfortable.

> > > CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE ON THE JURASSIC COAST CHALLENGE < < <

The cowardly won't start and the weak won't finish. If all three days sound a bit much too much then runners are welcome to join us just for a day or two. This as with this and all other Votwo events are such fun and organised in such a way that you will be kicking yourself as to why you have not undertaken them in the past when you enter your first!

Battistinis, Now on Picasa. . . . .


Ensure that you make this site: http://picasaweb.google.com/BattistinisUK one of your favourites when you are wwwing it!


More cameras seem to take more Kodak moments here at Battistinis than you could ever imagine! With this the case its amazing to think that most of the shots are never seen, they just drop into the cyber vortex of computers and hardrives to usually never to be seen again!


Well finally we have decided to actually sign up to a photo sharing site and get some of our shots up on the web for all to see! Every week we will try and upload a few of our happenings from events, ride-outs, bikes and general antics that we get upto.


Also, if you ever have any shots that include places, faces, bikes or anything else that you think that we would like to see or you would like to share with us please fire over them or links over to design@battistinis.co.uk

Battistinis, Air suspension. . . . .



Battistinis, Air suspension. . . . .


So there we were last night lugging, tugging and loading onto the van what felt like a million tons of motorcycle parts. Well one of the last things that went on was the most important box of all, the crate of beer that meant that we could sit back and unwind after another coiled up day! Well we laughed as sitting back and looking at the van made us realise that even that rolls on bloody air suspension!


We would personally say that an air riding van is great but keeping it to two wheels is even a better! The best air suspension available bar none is from Custom Cycle Controls of which we are proud to stock in store and use on our very own builds!

> > > CLICK HERE < < < to see the full range and then simply get in touch.

Currently a 2010 Harley Davidson Rocker-C that is loaded with it all and a 2005 Harley Davidson Deuce that is yesteryear Battistini styling are going through their paces in the workshop and will be unleashed very shortly both being rolled upon the multi award winning Custom Cycle Control S.A.S. rear suspension!

Battistinis, the Warbird rides into the shop . . . . . . .


Battistinis, the Warbird rides into the shop . . . . . . .

Hail, rain or shine Eugene and his custom steed The Warbird is always turned to ‘Go mode’. Never do you need to ask twice if Eug is up for a trip as he hits the road and clocks up the miles like no one else! Wherever he turns up so does a camera that must have welded itself to his hand from being held and clicked so often! Yesterday he dropped by the shop and in his word’s:


“ Probably my last run to Battistinis' old place in Southwick Road, Southbourne near Bournemouth, before they move to their amazing new place just around the corner !! Gonna be brilliant !!!”

Battistinis, URGENT PRESS RELEASE. . . . .

Battistinis, URGENT PRESS RELEASE. . . . .


We are now ready to unleash details of our massive news that we warned you about on this very blog last week! After 20 years of international success supplying the finest custom parts and motorcycles from around the globe, Battistinis Custom Cycles are proud to break the mould and unleash the world’s first Battistinis retail custom centre.


The Battistinis flagship store will be a custom retail experience like no other and will cover ‘all things custom’ under one single roof. Rather than a stereotypical traditional styled shop Battistinis have designed and developed a concept store that truly will be an experience like no other and make its mark on the UK and world custom scene with one huge gasoline fuelled bang!

Mark Battistini stated, “Everything here at Battistinis has been kicked into overdrive and this truly is exciting times for everyone, so hold on tight and join us for one hell of a wild ride. Be it chops, bobbers, hot rods and everything else that the gear head in you screams out for we will have it covered under our ‘California dreaming’ roof. This store really is a huge milestone for us and I really want to thank everyone who has supported us over the years for us to achieve this dream! The next chapter in our history may truly be the best one yet, so swing your leg over your steed and hit the Bournemouth bound road!”



The Battistinis custom centre will be at a brand new showroom location in Bournemouth and is open to everyone offering a full retail, design, workshop and distribution centre to come and visit! The store is over 9,000 square feet and has support from the Ace Café London and will house a ‘Rockers’ café inside. Custom bikes, parts, clothing and much much more will be present from every international custom company you can think of including Exile Cycles, West Coast Choppers, Arlen Ness and Snap-On.


The Battistinis flagship store will swing open its doors to the public on March 31st 2010 with the Battistinis team openly welcoming everyone to the next level of retail experience! So whether it’s a nut, a bolt, a t-shirt, a cup of coffee or a complete show winning custom Harley Davidson Battistinis have it covered! The grand opening of the store with coincide with the ever growing Battistinis annual open weekend on Sat 26th June & Sun 27th June 2010, which is open to all and has no entry charge. See you there!


“C’mon let the good times roll!”

This is gunna be HUGE!
