A trip to Eddie Trotta’s “Thunder Cycle Design Inc”, Ft Lauderdale Florida (the land
of year-round cycling), is time well spent. It is an honor to walk through the doors of this
state-of-the-art 35000 square foot exquisite storefront and attached custom motorcycle
production area. Their legacy is long and deep. Thunder Cycle Design Inc rates high on
every custom bike list.

Eddie Trotta is a professional but comfortable guy, an accomplished musician, active in
his community, a collector of exotic cars, thoroughbred horses and has interests in offshore
racing. Trotta has been building custom motorcycles for 30 years and in the last 10-years
Thunder Cycle Design Inc has been recognized as one of the nations distinguished Custom
Motorcycles Designers.

The entire operation at Thunder Cycle is impressive beginning with the far-reaching
attention to detail, imagination and craftsmanship. Their goal is for each bike to be a class
custom bike.

The staff is amazing. Bones, the custom painter is a talented artist. Ian, who operates the
digitally controlled custom aluminum parts machine, has ability and knowledge far beyond
his years. Each step of production is professional and creative. Each staff member is dedicated.

All of this, and more, under the direction of Eddie Trotta and his “Eye for beauty and speed.”
