About Nick Anglada Originals
Nick Anglada Originals is the premier custom sport bike and cruiser builder in the U.S. His creations have graced multiple magazine covers, won countless awards, and have drawn accolades from the enthusiast public and the media alike.

Nick Anglada’s customizing viewpoint is simple. Customizing is a work of art, but ultimately it must be built in harmony with the customer’s revelation.

When Nick’s customer sees his or her bike for the first time, it should rock every emotion, eliciting a total epiphany. This is why Nick refers to his customer’s revelation, instead of his or her vision. Nick’s customers come to him because more is no longer enough. They demand absolute sovereignty; absolute independence from every single being around them. Their custom motorcycle must encapsulate that need in every respect while ultimately transporting the experience of motorcycling to an entirely new level. If Nick builds with an eye on that need, while listening carefully to the various elements that drive the creative process, his custom will not just speak to the eye, it will speak of the soul.

Barker’s ‘Famous’ Custom CBR Travels to Cycle World Daytona

Travis Barker’s Famous Stars and Straps Sport Bike Left the Motorcycle Hall of Fame and is Now Calling Cycle World of Daytona ‘Home’

(Daytona Beach, FL) – Only a celebrity like Travis Barker, drummer of Blink 182, could have accomplished an unprecedented autograph session for his custom Nick Anglada Original’s sport bike like he did in 2008. His custom Honda CBR unveiling was the largest in SEMA history, but it didn’t stop there. After the unveil, the custom motorcycle made its debut on 2 Wheel Tuner Magazine’s cover in May of 2008 then was put on display at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington, Ohio.

The bike had been on display at the Hall of Fame ever since, but that all changed this month when the Famous Stars and Straps sport bike was moved to be on exhibit at Cycle World of Daytona in Daytona Beach, Florida. Builder of the bike, Nick Anglada of Nick Anglada Originals, also currently works out of Cycle World where many other of his works of ‘motorcycle art’ are on display. Travis’s sport bike will be showing on site there until November 23rd, 2009.

Barker’s motorcycle was modeled after one of his many Cadillac’s that he owns. A gleaming green finish along with logos of Famous Stars and Straps, Barker’s clothing and accessories line, was incorporated into the bike’s overall appearance.
