Nice Asp
When my amigo, Tom ?The German?, told me that his company, Demon?s Cycle South, had just finished a new project bike, I figured it?d be special. I?ve seen their work before, and I?ve never failed to be impressed, but this time they?ve outdone themselves. Not only that, as you can plainly see, they got the infamous and gorgeous Nikki to pose with it! Now, before ya get me started on Nikki, let me tell ya about the bike. (Yeah, there?s a bike there? Just to the right of Nikki?s cute little ass.) It?s a 2007 Demon?s Custom chopper, an? it?s damn sure one of a kind! It?s a rigid, with no hidden suspension to soften the hit, and no little bicycle shock under the seat to help save yer ass either. In fact, the seat is just what ya see in the pictures: Steel bars! This is NOT a candy-ass motorcycle, but a true blue ball-buster! If ya let a little air outa that Avon 300 mm rear tire, it might help a little, but I doubt it. How about power, Ya ask? The Demon?s folks chose a 110? Rev Tech engine, then put the baby on the bottle! Yep? NOS. It?s coupled to a 6-speed tranny by a fat-ass 3-inch BDL belt drive, an? to make sure ya hear this bad bitch comin? at ya, Demon?s made the custom pipes that?ll not only announce yer arrival, but burn all the hair off of any dog dumb enough to chase ya. With a ride like this, not just any ol? wheels would do, so it?s restin? on rims by Weld Racing, wrapped up all snug in Avon rubber. Inverted front forks give the leadin? end some serious bling, an? sets off that wild lookin? headlight and custom bars an? risers from Demons. Tom wanted somethin? unusual to set off the 8-inch stretch custom fuel tank, so he had his best friend Chris Nichols of Kaos Kustom Paint up in Rhode Island lay on the snake skin graphics to make this evil Twin look even more sinister. It?s what ya call ?dressin? for success?. In case ya were wondering, yeah? This bike?s for sale. Even if ya want to build yer own, or just dress up what yer ridin?, give Tom a shout down in sunny Florida. He sells quality parts at rock bottom prices, and the whole Demon?s crew are great to work with. That?s why I buy so much stuff from ?em. You can contact ?em at: DEMONS CYCLE SOUTH 378 SW 14th St. Pompano Beach, Fla. 33069 Their phone number is 954-943-0000, but if yer a cheap ass like me, an? don?t want ta pay Ma Bell for the air time, you can get ?em on the net at: www.demonscycle.com.

Back in Black. Alan, the owner of this 2006 Demon's Cycle South Chopper, is addicted to two wheels. To feed his addiction, he's a self admitted mild mannered, suit and tie wearing, hard working member of the financial service industry. He's also quick to admit that the minute the clock releases him, he's crazy man. That's how Tom the German at Demon's Cycle South describes him. Alan's love of two wheels includes road cycling that most recently saw him racing bicycles in Argentina. A team mate introduced Alan to Tom a few years ago when Alan had expressed an interest in acquiring a bad ass chopper. Tom said that Allan was very sure of what he wanted from the start. Alan wanted a radical, mean, big, long, different, loud and obnoxious bike with no fenders and it had to be black. Running no fenders is how Tom knew for certain that Alan was truly crazy. Tom told us that one day Alan showed up on his new ride with a huge black stripe down his back from no rear fender and he wore it like a badge of honor. The bike sports a dropped seat and raked neck 250 frame with 12 inch over forks and a 6 inch stretched tank. The high polished 110ci RevTech motor and matching 6-speed transmission takes all the heart pounding fun to the fat 280 series rear wheel with a mounted 300 series tire to protect the rim via a chain drive allowing plenty of clearance. The all left side drive is perfectly counter weighted to the right and the bike with apehangers and custom Venetti wheels rides like a dream. The one of a kind headlight and metallic black ghosted skulls & flames complete the picture. Tom's girlfriend Mandy looks like she could calm the Demon's. Alan stands a proud 6 foot 3 inches tall exactly. We know this because Tom the German at Demon's took out his measuring tape and measured Alan, literally from head to toe for his next ride that's going to be just a little bigger across the board.

2006 Carbon Fiber STREET FIGHTER Tom The German Steinbacher is a man with three things on his mind. The first is building extremely exiting European style motorcycles that people flip for. The second is delivering his bikes and complete line of motorcycle parts to the public at unbelievably low prices. His third thought, though not necessarily in this order, is about beautiful women. You only have to meet The German for a few minutes for all of the above to become obvious. True to his German heritage Tom is not shy. He’s straight to the point, heavily opinionated and has a no BS presence that cuts to the quick. This said, you always know where he’s coming from. This wicked 2006 carbon fiber Street Fighter is a perfect example of the work style and affordability that comes out of Tom’s shop Demon’s Cycle South Inc., located in Pompano Beach, Florida. This German styled bike would easily be valued at $75,000 or more elsewhere but Tom offers it up for sale at only $29,999. This is what he does. This is what he is good at. Tom, as he always stays true to his heritage, started with an imported German frame. He has a selection of them available at Demon’s Cycle South. He also offers them at unreal law pricing at Bike Week in Daytona Beach. This Softail 250 drop seat Street Fighter frame seriously set the tone for this Euro styled bike. Tom set bike up to handle like a GSXR; that’s the true European way. It has to be thoroughly radical in looks and design. It also has to ride and handle like a bat out of hell. The chromed 54mm inverted front end, which is set into the frame at a 38 degree rake, is made complete with Demon’s 5 piece billet aluminum handlebars and spike grips. The carbon fiber gas tank, fenders and seat all round out the package nicely. The custom carbon fiber fuel tank is made in South Africa and gives this Demon’s Street fighter its round edge. Bob, The Sarcastic South African will love it, but who wouldn’t. This Street Fighter is a perfect blend of pure performance and custom without going overboard. The 100ci Rev-Tech engine is fed by a 42mm Mikuni carburetor providing more than enough power to get out of its own way. The 6-speed Rev-Tech transmission won’t leave you wanting for another gear. The fat 250 Super Bike swingarm and rear tire assembly is the original deal adorned with a 250 Avon. This provides a stable and stylish end to power train. A look at the particulars list will fill you in on the rest of the fine details. This Street Fighter was build with two things in mind, European styling and superior handling. Of course everything you see on this bike is available through Demon’s Cycle South. Moving custom parts at or below wholesale prices is what Tom and Demon’s is all about. He likes to set the prices at about half of what others might charge. Tom, who has been in business with Demon’s cycle South now for over fifteen years, has a large and knowledgeable staff. They can build you a pure custom bike from ground up starting only $15,000. Tom’s no BS attitude and flare comes at no extra charge. (Model not included) C-ya… at the Crossroads! Contos Special Thanks to Lindsey who is a full time model at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas and for Juicy Couture. Also a Special Thanks to Photographer Bobby Demarco of Knight Digital Photography who jumped at the chance to photograph the lovely Lindsey.

Thunder Press September, December 2005 DEMON’S CYCLE SOUTH Buying power - chopper power ‘The German’ makes bike building accessible by Buckshot I don’t know how the rest of you feel about your money and your sani¬ty, but I’ve never been blessed with a whole lot of either, so I like to keep as much as I can of the dwindling supply of both. That’s why, when I find-a parts source that sells top quality parts at fair prices, with hassle-free delivery, I’m happy. I’m starting another chopper from the ground up, and the logical place to start is the frame. All the frames I looked at were great, but a little steep for this ol’ dog’s budget. I was look¬ing at my old FLH as a probable donor when I ran across Demon’s Cycle South. Now, I’d never heard of ‘em, and I wasn’t all that sure about the quality of the frames, but I decid¬ed to take a chance. Hell, I could always send it back if I wasn’t satis¬fied, right? The frame arrived less than a week later, and for $595, I got an Ultima rigid for a 250 tire, with 34 degrees of rake, a 4” downtube stretch, and a 1” backbone stretch. I can tell ya, it’s a thing of beauty! I was so pleased with it that I called the owner, Tom “The German” Steinbacher, to see what else he had in stock. We started talkin’ bikes, babes, and more babes. (He quit drinkin’ and all that other body-¬degeneratin’ stuff a while back.) As it turns out, Tom is a die-hard hellraiser and a scooter tramp, like me and most of the rest of us ol’-timers, at the tender young age of 34. For almost 20 years, he’s been buildin’ eye candy that has beat out the offer¬ings of some big-name builders. Tom started out building custom bikes in a backyard shed long before sortie of the boys on The Discovery Channel knew what a Harley-Davidson was. As business got better he moved into a 1,000-square-foot rental shop in “the hood” to pursue his dream. He and his best friend Chris (of KAOS Custom Paint) worked day jobs and built scoots at night, surviving on three hours of sleep a night. Tom was living his dream of building custom bikes, but he got fed up with the high price of aftermarket parts that was keeping the majority of hardworking guys from having the trick rides they really wanted. It was¬n’t very long before he went into the parts business himself, giving us the benefit of his increased buying power, and offering some of the best deals around. He’s even put together a how-to video on building custom bikes, using lovely young ladies instead of ugly ol’ mechanics to do the building. I’ve been building these things for decades, and I watched the DVD three times just to see the little brunette twist her bottom tap! Just watchin’ the hot babes on this DVD is worth every penny of the 15 bucks it costs, and it could help save ya from making some costly mistakes on your project! Tom bought his first retail shop in Rhode Island about 10 years ago, and used the profit from one custom proj¬ect to build the next. He pioneered some of the radical designs that everyone seems to be trying to copy now, as well as Euro-style bikes and more traditional choppers. Tom’s work ha~ been featured and praised in numerous magazines, and his show bikes have left some of the “movie star builders” wondering what hit ‘em! Demon’s bikes have made the builders with big titles like Chopper Doctor and Senior Master Builder and Designer on their business cards sit up and take notice. About three years ago, Tom moved south down the Eastern Seaboard till his feet got wet, and settled into new digs in Pompano Beach, Florida. (It wasn’t an accident that he’s real close to his favorite strip club, Phil’s Booby Trap, ya know.) Bikinis damn near year round, and ridin’ weather to rival California. Demon’s Cycle is now a multimilliondollar worldwide wholesale operation, with a location in Tom’s native Germany, and one coming soon in Australia. Tom uses this buying power to pass below-dealer-cost prices on to us. To give ya a couple of examples, where else can ya buy a rigid fat tire roller for $1,500, a chrome wide glide for $500, or chrome forward controls for $225? Demon’s Cycle also offers complete one-off chopper kits, wheels, and everything else you’ll need to build your dream ride. Being the easygoing, even-tempered, modest guy he is (well, OK, scratch easygoing and even-tempered, but he is modest), Tom gives a lot of the credit for Demon’s Cycle’s success to the guys who work for him. There’s Art, his VP, who’s been with him since day one, and Art’s brother George, who fled Siberia with Art 15 years ago. Big Al is from the New York City “hood”, and young Gabe hails from the ghettos of Brazil. After a childhood of staring poverty in the eyes, these guys have all banded together to achieve more then they believed possible a few short years ago. I also need to mention Robert, a very old boy they call Mister Serenity, whose main function seems to be keeping Tom’s volatile nature in check. I don’t know much about the business end of building custom bikes, and I’ve never been concerned with profit and loss; I just build what I want to ride, but I do know that Tom and the guys at Demon’s Cycle South are making the parts I want available at a price I can afford, while they’re still doing what they love to do: building and riding some of the best custom bikes anywhere! You can find Demon’s Cycle South at 378 SW 14th Ave., Pompano Beach, Florida, 33069 or visit them virtually at www.demonscycle.com. Their phone number is 954.943.0000.

The frame arrived less than a week later, and for $595, I got an Ultima rigid for a 250 tire, with 34 degrees of rake, a 4” downtube stretch, and a 1” backbone stretch. I can tell ya, it’s a thing of beauty! I was so pleased with it that I called the owner, Tom “The German” Steinbacher, to see what else he had in stock. We started talkin’ bikes, babes, and more babes. (He quit drinkin’ and all that other body-¬degeneratin’ stuff a while back.) As it turns out, Tom is a die-hard hellraiser and a scooter tramp, like me and most of the rest of us ol’-timers, at the tender young age of 34. For almost 20 years, he’s been buildin’ eye candy that has beat out the offer¬ings of some big-name builders. Tom started out building custom bikes in a backyard shed long before sortie of the boys on The Discovery Channel knew what a Harley-Davidson was. As business got better he moved into a 1,000-square-foot rental shop in “the hood” to pursue his dream. He and his best friend Chris (of KAOS Custom Paint) worked day jobs and built scoots at night, surviving on three hours of sleep a night. Tom was living his dream of building custom bikes, but he got fed up with the high price of aftermarket parts that was keeping the majority of hardworking guys from having the trick rides they really wanted. It was¬n’t very long before he went into the parts business himself, giving us the benefit of his increased buying power, and offering some of the best deals around. He’s even put together a how-to video on building custom bikes, using lovely young ladies instead of ugly ol’ mechanics to do the building. I’ve been building these things for decades, and I watched the DVD three times just to see the little brunette twist her bottom tap! Just watchin’ the hot babes on this DVD is worth every penny of the 15 bucks it costs, and it could help save ya from making some costly mistakes on your project! Tom bought his first retail shop in Rhode Island about 10 years ago, and used the profit from one custom proj¬ect to build the next. He pioneered some of the radical designs that everyone seems to be trying to copy now, as well as Euro-style bikes and more traditional choppers. Tom’s work ha~ been featured and praised in numerous magazines, and his show bikes have left some of the “movie star builders” wondering what hit ‘em! Demon’s bikes have made the builders with big titles like Chopper Doctor and Senior Master Builder and Designer on their business cards sit up and take notice. About three years ago, Tom moved south down the Eastern Seaboard till his feet got wet, and settled into new digs in Pompano Beach, Florida. (It wasn’t an accident that he’s real close to his favorite strip club, Phil’s Booby Trap, ya know.) Bikinis damn near year round, and ridin’ weather to rival California. Demon’s Cycle is now a multimilliondollar worldwide wholesale operation, with a location in Tom’s native Germany, and one coming soon in Australia. Tom uses this buying power to pass below-dealer-cost prices on to us. To give ya a couple of examples, where else can ya buy a rigid fat tire roller for $1,500, a chrome wide glide for $500, or chrome forward controls for $225? Demon’s Cycle also offers complete one-off chopper kits, wheels, and everything else you’ll need to build your dream ride. Being the easygoing, even-tempered, modest guy he is (well, OK, scratch easygoing and even-tempered, but he is modest), Tom gives a lot of the credit for Demon’s Cycle’s success to the guys who work for him. There’s Art, his VP, who’s been with him since day one, and Art’s brother George, who fled Siberia with Art 15 years ago. Big Al is from the New York City “hood”, and young Gabe hails from the ghettos of Brazil. After a childhood of staring poverty in the eyes, these guys have all banded together to achieve more then they believed possible a few short years ago. I also need to mention Robert, a very old boy they call Mister Serenity, whose main function seems to be keeping Tom’s volatile nature in check. I don’t know much about the business end of building custom bikes, and I’ve never been concerned with profit and loss; I just build what I want to ride, but I do know that Tom and the guys at Demon’s Cycle South are making the parts I want available at a price I can afford, while they’re still doing what they love to do: building and riding some of the best custom bikes anywhere! You can find Demon’s Cycle South at 378 SW 14th Ave., Pompano Beach, Florida, 33069 or visit them virtually at www.demonscycle.com. Their phone number is 954.943.0000.

FOYT TURNS IN GREAT PERFORMANCE AT DAYTONA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. February 12, 2005--“It was the best car I have ever driven,” Foyt said. “I really thought I had a shot to win before the troubles started.”

“He drove the race of his life”, said A.J. Foyt of son Larry who competed in ARCA’s Discount Auto Parts 200 Saturday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway.

Foyt qualified the No. 16 Fulltiltpoker.com/Demon's Cycle South Inc. Dodge in 12th spot and was running third when he pitted for fuel and tires. He beat the two leaders out of the pits but a slight pit infraction by a crew member who stepped over the pit wall (without a helmet) to pick up a lug nut resulted in a heavy one lap penalty.

Restarting on the inside a lap down, Foyt got his lap back by passing the leaders and maintaining his lead until the next caution (about 14 laps). He went to the back of the field in 32nd spot but on the lead lap. He then sliced his way through the field and was running a strong sixth with two laps to go.

Looking at a top five finish despite the setbacks in the race, Foyt’s luck went from bad to worse. A couple cars ahead of him tangled; Foyt took evasive action and thought he had the accident missed until Todd Kleuver’s car flipped into Foyt’s path and with nowhere to go, Foyt nicked him.

When the dust settled, 13 cars had piled up on the backstretch with several cars getting airborne. Two drivers went to the hospital and 11 to the infield care center. Foyt was uninjured but driver Billy Venturini sustained an injury to his second vertebrae which required hospitalization at Halifax Medical Center. He is expected to make a full recovery.

The race finished under yellow. Foyt was credited with 12th place. Bobby Gerhart won followed by Frank Kimmel and J.J. Yeley.

“Not a single car passed me all night,” said Foyt afterwards. “If they hadn’t shortened the race by 15 laps, I think I had a shot to win even with the penalty. The car was working great. I felt bad for my crew because they had given me a great stop and one guy just put one foot over the wall but wasn’t wearing a helmet, which is against the rules. He felt awful. It seemed like a tough call but we didn’t let it get us down. We were hauling to get back to the front. I’m disappointed with the way things turned out but it was a lot of fun up to the end. Afterwards, a lot of guys in the Cup garage congratulated me which made me feel good.”
There were several accidents before the Big One. One driver got airborne and came down on top of the wall exiting the tri-oval on lap 24. The race had to be red-flagged for nearly 40 minutes as repairs were made (to the wall and safety wires) causing the race to be shortened.

During the caution, rookie Blake Feese overshot his pit, entered an opening in the pit road wall hitting four photographers, one of whom was taken to the hospital and later released. No one was seriously injured. Another accident came 16 laps later sending five drivers to the infield care center with none seriously injured.

Foyt is remaining in Florida for Speedweeks although he has no plans to compete at this time.

Vom Fabrikarbeiter zum Millionär

 
Hengsberger Thomas Steinbacher baut in Florida Harleys um

Von PZ-Mitarbeiter Erik Stegner - Mit der eigenen Yacht zum Hochseefischen, im hauseigenen Kino die neuesten Hollywood-Filme sehen, oder doch lieber einen Fuhrpark mit Luxusschlitten von Ferrari bis Lamborghini? Der Hengsberger Thomas Steinbacher hat in den USA das geschafft, wovon viele in Deutschland träumen.

Der 37-jährige Auswanderer lebt als Millionär in Florida. Seinen Wohlstand erarbeitete er sich mit der Herstellung und dem weltweiten Verkauf von Motorradteilen per Internet, sowie dem Umbau hubraumstarker Chopper. "German Style made in USA", titelte die Motorrad-Zeitschrift Daytona Week über Steinbacher und widmete ihm samt seinem Unternehmen Demon"s Cycle Inc. gar eine Doppelseite. Der gelernte Steinmetz genießt sein Leben unter Palmen in vollen Zügen, vergnügt sich mit den bereits genannten Annehmlichkeiten, oder frönt seiner großen Leidenschaft, dem Golfspiel. Zu seinen Kunden gehören reiche und bekannte Musiker, Schauspieler, Rennfahrer und Wall-Street-Spekulanten, deren Namen Steinbacher nicht nennen möchte. Doch auch in seinem Fall hatten die Götter vor dem Erfolg den Schweiß gesetzt. Das bekam der Deutsche 1992 zu spüren, als er gerade angekommen mit den Schattenseiten im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten konfrontiert wurde. Der 21-Jährige hatte mit der Sprache zunächst große Probleme. Die ersten Sporen musste sich der Auswanderer als Hilfsarbeiter in einer Gummifabrik verdienen. Nur wenig blieb vom mickrigen Stundenlohn für große Sprünge übrig. Er wurde Mitglied einer Rocker-Gang, lebte oft nur in den Tag hinein. Aber der Motorradfreak hatte eine Idee, die sich für sein weiteres Leben als entscheidend herausstellte: Von seinem mühsam ersparten Geld kaufte er sich eine schrottreife Harley und restaurierte die Maschine in unzähligen Arbeitsstunden. Seine Hartnäckigkeit sollte sich lohnen, er verkaufte das umgebaute Motorrad mit sattem Gewinn und legte damit den finanziellen Grundstock für seinen weiteren Erfolg. Nicht verborgen blieb dem cleveren Geschäftsmann, dass neben den Motorradumbauten, eine große Nachfrage nach handgefertigten Ersatz- und Umbauteilen für die Motorradkultmarke Harley-Davidson besteht. Mit dem stetig wachsenden Internet, wuchs auch sein Unternehmen. Mittlerweile verkauft Steinbacher fast in alle Länder auf dem Globus. Per World-Wide-Web Internetshop erzielt er Millionenumsätze. Die so genannte High-Society reißt sich um seine außergewöhnlichen Motorradumbauten, denen der Ruf von deutscher Qualitätsarbeit vorauseilt. Doch der Selfmade-Millionär genießt nicht nur das süße Leben. Er steht jeden Tag in seiner Werkstatt in Pompano Beach. Tüftelt, schraubt und übernimmt für zehn Angestellte die Verantwortung. Außerdem engagiert er sich für Kinder, deren Eltern Alkoholiker sind. Steinbacher definiert sein Leben so: Tagsüber Motorräder bauen, nachts im Collage studieren und ab und zu auch anderen Leuten helfen. "Es macht mir Spaß für Kinder, denen es nicht so gut geht, den reichen Onkel zu spielen", sagt er. Ende des Monat sendet der Fernsehsender Kabel 1 einen großen Bericht über den Pirmasenser unter dem Titel: Mein neues Leben XXL (30. März, 20.15 Uhr).

Thomas Steinbacher hat es geschafft. Vor sechzehn Jahren wanderte der Hengsberger in die USA aus. Jetzt ist er Millionär. PZ-Mitarbeiter Erik Stegner sprach mit dem harten Rocker.
Warum haben Sie 1992 Hengsberg verlassen und sind nach Florida ausgewandert? Steinbacher: Ich wollte mit dem übermäßigen Trinken aufhören, was in einem kleinen Dorf in Hengsberg nicht so einfach war. Außerdem sehnte ich mich vor 16 Jahren danach, die große Welt zu sehen. Was lag also näher, als nach Amerika zu gehen. Hatten Sie damals bereits einen konkreten Plan in der Tasche? Steinbacher: Nein, den hatte ich definitiv nicht. Ich wollte nur nicht so weitermachen. Haben Sie noch Kontakte in die alte Heimat? Steinbacher: Per Telefon und E-Mail pflege ich oft Kontakte mit Freunden. Vor sechs Monaten warich zu Besuch,ummeine Eltern zu sehen. Denn sie sind wichtiger Teil meines Lebens. Ich bin sehr stolz auf sie. Ohne die Arbeitsmoral, die sie mir beibrachten, hätte ich niemals den Erfolg. Im Ausland gibt es ein Erfolgsrezept: Arbeiten, arbeitenund nochmals arbeiten.
