At Side Rock Cycles we specialize in building minimalist custom motorcycles. Cafe Racers, Scramblers, Trackers, Brats whatever you want! Side Rock Cycles is headed up in Bournemouth by Pete Hodson. Most of Pete’s working life has been in the bike trade including working for the local Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Triumph main dealers and for Sammy Miller. His lifelong riding passion began when he first slung his leg over his 1973 Garelli Rekord. Since then his eclectic list of bikes owned and tinkered is immense. Highlights include Suzuki T500s, Suzuki X7s, Yamaha RD 250/400s and LC 350s. Then along came CBX1000, Dresda T500, an ape bared and tasseled Tiger 110! and more recently several Mille and Tuono Aprillias as well as various BMW GS models. Pete started racing in 1977 and raced until 1985. He won a few club championships and had podium finishes in the Formula 1 Nationals aboard his factory sponsored Rickman Yoshimura GS1000. Although no longer racing he is never happier than when riding fast and can often be found at track days around the UK. Cadwell and Oulton Park being his current two favorite tracks. Pete will be delighted to hear from you to discuss ideas for next build.
