Roland Sands is from Long Beach, California.
He began his life with the upbringing and diverse experience in
the motorcycle industry. His first motorcycle was a RM 50 dirt
bike, given to him on his 5th birthday, to which, after just
minutes of riding, he broke a bone, but fell in love with it
anyway. He literally grew up in the Performance Machine shop,
and started working there at age 14 sweeping floors. Quickly
moving up to assembly, sanding polishing, wheel designing,
eventually working his way as Director of R&D and Design at
Performance Machine.
In 2005, after the tremendous success Sands
found on Discovery Channel's Biker Build-Off vs. Arlen Ness,
Sands founded Roland Sands Design. RSD designs concept
motorcycle parts and accessories and builds custom motorcycles.
RSD works with major motorcycle manufacturers to design concept
and prototype motorcycles and promote benchmark product in the
motorcycle industry and beyond. Sands’ designs are describe as
being a mixture of sport bike and chopper influences to create
the ultimate custom bikes.
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
