Wow, if somebody would have
told me in April 2000 that Wild Hair would still be
around in 2011, I would have said
"Yeah Right".
Yet amazingly we are here in 2011 and still going strong. I
would like to say a big
THANK YOU to all of our customers, everybody who checked out our
web site and every person who has contacted us.
I would like to share a few memories we have had over the years.
We have had a great run with more good memories than bad
and a lot of fun along the way and we hope to create many more
good memories for ourselves and our customers as well.
As some of you know, in April of 1999 I picked up a ZRX 1100 (which I
still have) and wanted to customize it. I wanted a belly pan, rear
sets etc. but I could not find any cool parts here in the United States
so
I turned to Germany, got the parts and I loved them.
I helped a
few people on the ZRXOA forum to order some parts and while I was
posting instructions on how to order my girlfriend asked
what I was doing. I told her I was helping to bring some parts
over from Germany and she suggested
to open a web site and make that into a business and sell them
online. An idea was born!
Upon doing more research on the internet, I found more
and more cool stuff in
Germany and during this time I really got hooked on the whole StreetFighter idea. I realized that most of the accessories were not available here in the US.
Nobody offered GSG, Metisse, Gimbel, Bike Side, Hesa, Kellermann etc. at that time nor any other StreetFighter
accessories at all.
I thought, "hey, that is a nice little
corner of a market for me".
So I built a little website for Sport/Touring bikes but with StreetFighters
in mind. I don't think I am too far off base if I say that
Wild Hair
Accessories was one of the first ones in the United States to
offer StreetFighter accessories.
After the first suppliers came on board more quickly followed
and it became evident that this could indeed be more than just
an after work hobby.
I still remember my first sale, it was a Gimbel belly pan
for a ZRX
1100 . That was a cool moment.
Back in 2000 I had a job as a car mechanic and one day at
work my cell phone rang and it was a customer! That turned out
to be the end of that job and the start of Wild Hair Accessories as a
business in its own rite. He was the first customer to
send me a picture of his bike with the parts he had received and installed and that kept me going.
This picture is still in our web site, it is a SV 650.
Slowly from there things began to build and we hope that if you
have purchased from us that your experience was a good one and
if you have yet to purchase from us we look forward to hearing
from you.
Over the last years, we had some great conversations with our
customers and not just about bikes. I have had the pleasure of
meeting some great characters over the phone, listened to some
interesting stories and made more than a few friends.
One of our fondest memories was being contacted by the people
who worked with the show "Biggest Loser", they wanted some of
our parts to adorn Jillians bike upon her debut on the show. If
you saw that episode, those were our parts on that FZ 1 and we
are very proud of that! She had a FZ 1 with
Bike Side fairing and Kellermann Bar End signals.
Jessica Prokow, Neal Beale are also our customers. We felt a
great sense of pride about that.
Kellermann BL 1000 bar end signals can also be seen in the 2008
movie "Hellride".Since 2006 I got help from Veronica, my lovely wife and singer
of the Heavy Metal band called Benedictum.
In 07, we opened StreetFighters Inc. together offering more StreetFighter
accessories and we still believe, the Fighter scene is the next
big thing in the motorcycle scene. We want to do all we can to
make that a reality. So if you have a chance check out
www.streetfightersinc.com
Again, thanks to everybody for
your support.
