1. How we started. What went before….. Already in his early years, Hans Bos, owner and founder of Bozzies Custum Design, had a passion for motorbikes and American cars. At the age of 16, the born and bred Utrechter had already managed to save up for his first showpiece: a Camaro. Soon to be followed by a Corvette and a Mustang of course. So it was no more than natural that Hans started working in the car business. Nearly twenty years he worked as a car damage repairman, specialized in servicing and fixing expensive, often exclusive cars. After this long but particularly valuable period, Hans was ready for a new challenge. In 1996, in a small shed with a surface area of no more than 15 m2, Hans started building his first Japanese Chopper. During a test-drive and still in the final building phase, Hans was approached by a passer-by, who turned out to be highly enthusiastic about the motorbike and who was to become its proud owner at the spot. This made Bozzies Bike Design an established fact. Hans’ workplace soon started to become too small. The orders kept coming in from home as well as abroad, and mainly concerned the building and rebuilding of Japanese motorbikes. Another location was needed. In 1996 and with a lot of help from friends and acquaintances, a new location was found with a surface of 200 m2. Now Hans had the space to design and build whatever he wished. One of his friends who wanted him to build a Harley Davidson, also opened the way to a new trend. Since that time Hans has applied himself to this type of motorbike. Being passionately driven, Hans works long hours. He wants to think and work out features of design and development down to the smallest detail. His enthusiasm, know-how, experience and tendency to perfectionism not only produces a high-quality product but also turn him into a true artist with an eye for absolute beauty which can be regarded a permanent characteristic of his product, or of his whole art for that matter. During the years, Hans Bos has built up a reputation and although having received many offers to join well-established companies in this field, he wants to remain his own master in order to give his ideas and artistic potential full swing. Supported by a number of equally passionate driven friends, Hans has managed to present a high-quality product which not only offers comfort and joy of riding, but also attracts attention to its beauty. 2.
