HERE AT GREASE MONKEYS WE REMEMBER WHEN MOTORCYCLES WERE DIRTY AND NOISY AND DANGEROUS AND COOL
About Us

Garage Built Classics
Nowadays its too easy to walk into a shop, hand over a huge pile of money and ride off into the sunset on the latest shiny toy. You feel great until you park it outside the local Starbucks and then, 10 minutes later you come out to find that there's three, exactly the same as yours parked outside.
So back you go to the dealer and pick some overpriced part from the fat catalogue and nail it onto the bike. For a short while you feel good. Now you have a custom bilke like nobody else. But it soon wears off. You need another fix and then another but you know its not getting any better. Its still not yours and its still too much like the others.
Let's face it, it will never be your creation until you tear it to bits and start again. It needs to have SOUL.
That's not something you buy brand new. It's something that is earned, through hard miles, sweat and skinned knuckles.
NEW IS BAD, OLD IS BETTER………… REPEAT AFTER ME.
We're all about the stuff that you put together yourself. Making changes and putting things together in combinations that no-one else will copy. Making something that you see the beauty in...never mind what others think.
GREASE MONKEYS
We are a group of New Zealand based cycle freaks who build and ride our own motorcycles. We cover a whole range of skills from complete builds through making and supply parts right throught to art and clothing design.......all based on our motorcycle addiction.
We cover all sorts of bikes from chops and bobbers through cafe racers and vintage. We don't do stock bikes with a few shiny bolt ons or plastic sports bikes. Not everyone is a mechanic or a welder but you can always find someone on here who is happy to help you turn that nasty stock bike hiding in the corner of your shed into something beautiful.
So sign up, fire up that grinder and change your life
