Cyril Huze’s Story

Cyril Huze

Cyril Huze grew up in Paris, France. At the age of 18, he left home to stake his independence. He self-funded his higher education and earned a masters in marketing. At age 24, he starts gaining experience working for American advertising agencies based in Paris handling accounts for Schweppes, BP Oils, BMW cars.

By his 30s, he had already started his own ad agency and was chosen to handle the national advertising accounts for McDonald’s, Volkswagen, 3M, Hertz, among others. Cyril art directed and wrote copy for all his own campaigns and made a name for himself by winning advertising awards and having his work published in hard cover books and exhibited at the museum of advertising.

Meanwhile, his passion for everything American had grown steadily since his teenage years: “I was part of the first generation of Europeans to be deeply exposed to American culture: Rock’n’Roll, Hot Rods, and Harleys. America fueled my dreams and imitating its culture, for me, was a way of moving beyond my parent’s generation, to forge my own identity.  As a teenager I was both rebellious and romantic. I identified with James Dean and with his rebellion. He was my idol, provided the escape route that I needed so much.  My first week-long visit to the US in ’79 was professional but emotionally exhausting. I felt like I was starring in a film in cinemascope. Everything I’d read about in books, heard on radio was there. It was as if I had come back to the country I had lived in during my youth. It was love at first sight.”

By the mid-80s, a passion for America had grown so strong that Cyril willfully abandoned his successful career to make the United States his home, proclaiming “Life’s too short not to live your dreams.” As quickly as he could, he seals his new life by choosing to become a naturalized US citizen.

In the nineties, his passion for Harley-Davidson grew stronger than everything else in his life and he decided to enter the business of building motorcycles. Like most builders, Cyril started by customizing his motorcycles and his friends’; it was more as a hobby than as a profession. All his custom motorcycles went on to beat the pros several years in a row in Daytona and Sturgis with memorable custom motorcycles: “Deanager”, “Harley Davidstones”, “Glamour Girl”, “Blues Brothers”, “America”, “Graffiti” etc… His first client gives him a huge budget for the time to build him three motorcycles. Because of Cyril’s unique style and attention to detail, his motorcycles get featured all over the world. By the turn of the millennium, the industry had acknowledged him as a Master Builder.

With a looming recession in the US that would start reeling the business of custom motorcycle building, Cyril recognizes the huge influence of the internet in our daily lives. He sees a business opportunity to offer custom motorcycles news in an intimate digital format. In 2006, the daily “Cyril Huze Post” was born. Determined to continue making his passion financially viable, his online publication becomes profitable within the first year. For the next 12 years, his work took him on travels across the US and abroad, covering the industry and sharing the passion of custom motorcycles with an online community across the world.

Cyril never gave up on his dreams and published until the very end of his life. His last words to me were: “Je n’ai pas vécu ma vie, je l’ai rêvée.” “I didn’t live my life, I dreamed it.”

His son,

Damien

2-Stroke MIG Bike. No Afterburner.

pol1pol2Recently, I ran a feature called “The Way They Do It In Poland” in reference to the Poznan Motor Show. One of the custom bikes I published was intriguing enough for some of you to request its specs. Info that I got easily from Motographer Horst Roesler who was on location at the Polish event and who is the author of these new pictures of the “Polish Star” At simple at it looks, to understand the merit of this bike, a short background history about Poland seems necessary.

pol00Thanks to the Solidarity movement (Solidarność) the Central European country of Poland got its first free and demographic election in 1989, and since then went from a communist-style planned economy into a market economy. Today, after suffering slumps in social and economic standards Poland is now a free and democratic country with a somewhat high standard of living for a post communist country. It’s even now one of the safest countries in the world to live in… Polish craftsmanship and relatively cheap wages have created flourishing businesses. Opening to the West has also contributed to the birth of a custom motorcycle scene, with the new well-to-do Polish creating and/or buying bikes inspired by those built the US and the rest of Europe. But most builders are still struggling with what is available in their country: post World War II era motorcycles used as donors, old motors to be rebuilt and almost always recycled parts often from unknown origin…

pol11pol3pol4The story of of these unusual East countries’ motorcycles is always interesting. Even more when a series of events without apparent relation is linking this motorcycle creation in Poland with an air show in Florida! Last March, I was present in Daytona for Bike Week with regular photographer who doesn’t miss any opportunity to also spend some time at the Titusville-based “Tico Air Show” to shoot classic airplanes and acrobatic exhibitions. In the sky a screaming MIG-17, the fastest version of the better known MIG-15 Jet Fighter, flying in full afterburner mode to increase thrust. 4 Weeks later, 1/3 of the world away in Poland, this encounter with “Polish Star” whose design is inspired by the jet fighter LIM 5 the Polish version of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17….

Giappone Vintage Racer

Even if you are not into Japanese motorcycles, you may be familiar with the Kawasaki KZ 1000. The two main reasons are that they were ridden by California Highway Patrol officers Ponch and Jon of the 1977–1984 TV show CHiPs and 14 of them were used in the 1979 Mad Max movie. With the Giappone (Italian for Japanese) Stefano Venier signs his first Japanese creation, a project commissioned by very young San Francisco-based angel investor & entrepreneur Brett Seyler.

Client’s briefing was simple. Only 7 words were given to Stefano, build from this 1984 Kawasaki KZ 1000 LTD “a street legal vintage looking race motorcycle.” For such a makeover, Venier Motorcycles’s fabricator Erik Green modified the back frame in order to fit the new hand-made fender and seat support. Under the leather seat, a small lithium battery and a digital M-Unit control device from Moto gadget.

To find the correct bike stance and to improve comfort, a set of Progressive Suspension shocks were installed. Factory gas tank was modified in order to accommodate the new bike lines and to accept knee recesses for better grip. For rear sets the shop called Italian Tarozzi offering a foot peg system allowing the adjustment of the connecting arm to the shifter linkage and brake in 42 different positions. Front end was taken from a Honda CBR 1000RR.

Handlebars are fitted with MotoGadget grips, grip end L.E.D. turn signals and mini rear view mirrors. Exhaust is a modified system from Kerker, a company that has won 3 AMA Superbike Championships. Color scheme by Lou Niziri is “racer chic”: white tank and rear fender with gold logo/lettering, matte black frame, fairing and wheels. Venier Motorcycles (photos courtesy of Nick & Alex Logaiski)

Flashback. 1911 Racycle.

Started in 1895, the Miami Cycle Manufacturing Company was building bicycles and Motorcycles using names Racycle, and Miami. In 1911, it purchased Merkel wth all production moved to Middletown Ohio. This acquisition gave Miami Cycle Manufacturing the high-end motorcycle model that it needed to be regarded as a premiere manufacturer. The Racycle was the lower priced alternative to the very successful Flying Merkels dominating on the street and track thanks to engineering innovation and high manufacturing quality. (The onset of war, a contracting market, and increased competition caused production of the Flying Merkel to falter. The final Merkel motorcycles were produced in 1917. (photography @ Doug Mitchel

Born For The Street

The small Indian Scout cruiser has enjoyed the largest media coverage of any new factory motorcycle launched during these last years. Inevitably, to personalize their new ride, many buyers were tempted to go to the “preppy route” of a theme bike that most of the time has nothing to do with…Indian legacy or even with motorcycling… Fortunately, a few builders like Bill Dodge are more interested to reveal the character of a bike than by its theme.

Yes, the project you see here could be considered by some only as a sinister twist. stripped-down, blacked-out Scout. But I it’s much more than this. It’s all about Dodge telling you how an Indian Scout should look. A bike expressing the uninhibited spirit of motorcycle culture found in the dirty streets of any neglected neighborhood, or furiously spinning on an abandoned racing track. Dodge’s in-house fabrication is not only about visual ,frills but about conveying a raw, powerful aggressive attitude.giving you the feeling that horsepower is barely tamed under the new bodywork.

One thing’s for sure, this Scout would win all Street Beauty
contests. The authentic and gorgeous

“Cafe” look tailend in aluminum and leather, revised ergonomics to show the Street what you are made for… .

And yes, most unusual pieces all over this Scout are “stamped” Blings Cycles or custom fabricated by Dodge himself for this specific project. A leg over this Dirty one is an another adventure…

Cyril Huze. I Will Retire May 15.

Due to a health issue discovered in 2017 requiring all my attention, I can no longer focus 100% on writing the Cyril Huze Post and traveling intensively in the US and abroad.

Consequently, I plan to retire and turn a new corner in my life to see what it has in store for me. The future of this site has yet to be finalized. In any case, I will silence my keyboard on May 15th and hope for a possible transition. The Cyril Huze Post is doing very well and to this day remains the leading “Daily Custom Motorcycle News” in the digital category. All content and comments, published since its creation in 2006, will stay online indefinitely.

My strongest emotion right now is deep gratitude to everybody who, during all my life, supported me to make my personal and professional dreams come true across two continents. Thank you so much and I wish many years of success to all of you.
