A professional Automotive designer from Coventry university Shail Sheth worked in a very structured automotive design studio before he decided to forge his own path. Established in 2012 Bombay Custom Works had one mantra - "Do what you love & love what you do", they create bespoke motorcycles that draw inspiration from the city they hail from and the personality of the rider of the motorcycle to create unmistakable works of motorcycle art.
Ricardo Pereira has always loved and lived the Royal Enfield life, in his words - "it's not just a motorcycle, it's a state of mind to me". He eventually found that this passion was becoming an obsession and realised that everything else was just a waste of time. Ricardo did what a few people would when their passion calls out to them and quit his corporate job and started Bulleteer Customs in a leap of faith back in 2007. He has been welding, machining, bolting and hammering metal into motorcycles ever since.
