High Energy Custom Motorcycles in Wylie, Texas 75098

Are you aware that Wylie, Texas now has a custom bike shop! High Energy Customs offers motorcycle parts, service, repair, motorcycle customizing, as well as motorcycle and mini chopper sales.

They also offer apparel for ladies! So I found out when I went in there to take pictures!!

Owner, Tim Colson, has many years of experience and has developed a strong background of education in parts, mechanics, and management. Tim has a very strong work ethic and is a perfectionist at everything he does! Tim's passion for cars and motorcycles began in Denver, Colorado, where he was born and raised. Possessing a very creative mind, Tim was always intrigued with how everything worked and was put together. At the age of 16 he bought a 1968 Chevelle, tweaked it up, and took it to Bandimere Speedway. That is where you could find him on the weekends! At age 18 he decided to get himself a motorcycle and this is where the bike building and customizing all started.

In 1996 Tim moved to Johnson City, Tennessee, where he continued with his passion of racing and bike building. Bristol Dragway was where you could find Tim with his Pro Mod 1957 Chevy that he built himself and also his top alcohol dragster. Tim's dream of having his own motorcycle shop materialized in his 1600 sq ft garage and then later moved to Texas in 2007. Tim ensures that every bike thundering out of his shop is a unique piece of art! This is one of the custom bikes in the shop

Custom Motorcycles

High Energy Customs defines a custom motorcycle as a motorcycle that is highly stylized or which treats aspects such as frame geometry or engine design in an unusual way compared to standard manufacturing. Custom motorcycles are unique or individually produced in a very limited quantity, as opposed to "stock" bikes or "stockers," which are mass produced. In the 1990s and early 2000s, very expensive customs such as those built by Orange County Choppers or Jesse James's West Coast Choppers became fashionable status symbols. You also have companies that are bringing back pinstriping such as Kenny Howard also known as Von Dutch from the 1950s with a continued effort to keep pinstriping alive with Von dutch kustom cycles. Some motorcycle enthusiasts feel that "true" customs are those built in a home garage by the person who will ride his or her own creation. The choppers of the 1960s and 1970s fit into this category. Call 972-442-4300 for more info!

This is a chopper my husband WON in a drawing in 2010, therefore the reason for this blog and new interest in choppers and Harleys!!

So hop on your bike go check out the shop, then take a ride around LAKE LAVON!

Time to change smoke alarm batteries !!

Daylight savings is March 11th! When you change your clock change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. RENTERS: This message is for you too! Firefighters say the peak time for fatalities is between 11pm and 7am when most families are sleeping. They also say approximately 80 percent of all fire deaths occur in the home.

Make sure you have a smoke alarm on every level of the home, outside of each sleeping room and in the bedrooms! You should check the function of your smoke alarms monthly and replace any that are over 10 years old. Don't disable an alarm for CHIRPING! This is a sound designed to tell you the battery is low and needs attention!!

Lastly, have an escape plan. When my kids were little, I always made sure their windows would open easily. Don't think fires happen to other people! Have a fire extinguisher in your home in case you need it. My son was cooking on the grill recently and it caught fire! Thank goodness we were able to shut the lid and it went out. That was a scary moment because the grill was under the porch and the house could have caught on fire.

So take a moment and check out your batteries , then enjoy the longer evenings with daylight.....
