Mitch Bergeron Customs - Mad Dog Motorcycles
Wednesday, March 8th, 2006
We were in Thousand Palms, California (just outside of Palm Springs) and thought we’d check in on Mitch Bergeron. Mitch is well known for his metal masterpieces of rolling steel, and for his television appearance on Discovery Channel’s Biker Build-offs. The Discovery Bike is an outrageous design sporting a long stretch and a mean attitude, and an incredibly cool paint job by Martin Bouchard aka Fitto, an airbrush master of macabre and aggressive designs.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bergeron wasn’t in on the day we stopped by, but Kenny, the newest wrench at Mitch Bergeron Customs gave us the nickel tour and filled us in on upcoming happenings at their new home; Mad Dog Motorcycle Company. Seems they’re growing, and rightly so. What we saw on the floor was hot stuff, and we understand they’ll soon have a showroom full of Big Dog motorcycles to compliment Mr. Bergeron’s creations. Their new space is cool, and we’re excited to watch them grow into it. We’re going to do our best to stop in on them again, after they’ve had a chance to get all moved in. Until then, here’s a peek at some of what we saw.

We’re told the store’s “official” grand opening is expected to be April 23rd. Next time you’re in sunny southern California, check them out at Mad Dog Motorcycle Company, 72009 Metroplex Dr., Thousand Palms, California, or ring ‘em at (760) 343-5300 or click here to visit Mitch Bergeron Customs online.
