I’m sure they’re cool as hell but if they don’t make my bike louder I’m going to pass.
I like Loud pipes!
Be sure to wear your Burger King crown while riding.
As usual someone raising the bar totally cool ! ….. givin all the new upstart’s a run for their money
I like the looks of those exhaust tips. Plain ends are crappy. Slashers , fishtails, megaphones or these, something unplain.
Where do you get the Rolex (trademark) name from? Also, on his website these are $299.
’tis true, Rolex is a trademarked name, Rolex is a company well known for very aggressively defending all their trademarks in all markets.
I think it is a very stupid idea using it. A quick check of TESS reveals no one at all using that in the US for any business other than a Rolex watches owned or franchised one. That says everything to me.
Parts look cool, very Battistini- ish though.
To Tobby. My info with Rolex and price? From a direct email to me from Eddie Trotta dated yesterday 11/03/11.
Hey Eddie, This is “The #1 Biker Dude of the Universe”, as you sooo aptly put it down at Daytona before they hauled me off in the ambulance. It turned out not eating anything for three days catches up with ya, Yuk-Yuk!!! Wiz
Roscoe…LMAO! Damn that was funny, actually made coffee squirt out my nose. Thanks man!
I Know where he got the OK to use the ROLEX name?? They told Eddie that it was Ok because they are all marked up 4 X’s, and there is the similarity! Ho Ho Hee Hee !
Eddie did Rolex call when you were using Rolex on that Strip clubs, pitbulls and Rolexs T shirts 7 years ago………. ??????? probably not
My bad Cyril. The bells are $299. The slip ons are $275. The use of the Rolex name is still a head scratcher though.
WOW…with Eddie sending ol’ T. Earl LeVere after everybody for lame duck patent concerns for something as simple as a peg with a point on it, I would LOVE to hear about how he pulled off the Rolex name.
The crown is the logo of Rolex. These parts imitate a crown. And Trotta called them Rolex! I don’t think he got away with anything. I think he hopes that nobody from Rolex notice. Just a game.
I don’t think that Rolex is registered for motorcycle parts. But it shows that this design was “borrowed” from Rolex.
Many in the industry before Trotta have used a crown as logo, design for their parts. It’s just another interpretation. And there will be more.
Go Eddie, get em’ what ever you have to do to make it, with in reason do it! Great looking and great name. Most of the your local minor competition are emailing Rolex already!. You know when you are in the middle of contraversy, you are where your competition strives to be……….. You are a Industry leader and very well respected. Keep on Designing the neet stuff that keeps you a Leader.
THEY LOOK LIKE THE THUG CUSTOM CYCLES CROWN … EDDIE LOVES THE WAY OUR CROWN LOOKS AND THIS IS HIS WAY OF SHOWING IT.. HIS EMPLOYEE SHOWED THIS TO ME IN THE RUFF AND SAID THE SAME THING .. LOL.. THX ED .. WERE A SMALL SHOP AND CANT MAKE STUFF LIKE THIS !! BUT WE’RE GLAD YOU LIKE OUR STYLE =) (I’M SURE THE FEED BACK I’LL GET FROM THIS POST WILL BE NEGATIVE !!)
Cool Eddie, Reminds me to dust off one of the ol’ Rolies and give it a shake. Wow check out the price of Gold, maybe i should sell it. LOL. Hope you are having fun making nice parts.
@Thug.
Your crown looks like the RC Cola crown. Did you steal it from them? Probably not, most crowns look the same. But if it gives you a semi to think Eddie’s thinking about you…
@ Gil your mom drinks Rc Cola!!! So what .. And I guess you need glasses you retard !! Our crown is one of a kind .. If you can’t see the difference then have your mommie check it for you !! I know its one of thunder employee’s ( bitch slap!) hate when posers hide behind a keyboard and talk smack !! Real men don’t !! Nuff said !! Lol ….
Before u ever opened thug u wore a thunder shirt with a crown on it and the original thug is ron simms tighten up
Just to let all the haters know , I do have a registered
Trademark for the name rolex for the use in all
Motorcycle products ! Thanks guys
I NEVER WROTE ANYTHING BAD UP THERE GUYS …. EDDIE IS THE MAN!!! AND YES WORKED AT THUNDER A VERY VERY LONG TIME AGO BEFORE EDDIE WAS A MFG OF HIS BIKES … HE NEVER HAD THE CROWN WHEN I WAS THERE … IT WAS A MOTORCYCLE DESIGN .. MARIO YOU WERE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL SO I’M SURE YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS … ALSO RON SIMMS MAKES A MOTOR CALLED A THUG MOTOR AND ITS BADDASS!!! THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR SHOP NAME NOR OUR CROWN ..JUST GETTING THAT FACTS STRAIGHT HERE…
Its just funny how the only time u have sumin negative to say its on this website ur really doin it old school motorcycle legend u r
I got what you intend, saved to my bookmarks , very decent web site . best vps host | virtual private server |
Eddie Trotta designs are nothing more than knock offs of legendary bike builders builders hard work. Your bikes you made in the past dont even sell anymore so now your trying to build baggers. Your baggers are cookie cutters straight out the Custom Chrome cataloge with a paint job. I would be ashamed of puting my name on them.. Hope Shope knows you try to take credit for his products..
Sometimes you need to know when to call it quits and retire.
Like the song the GAMBLER goes “you have to know when to fold them”
As for THUG, even is he did start out working for you, he was smart enough to leave there and open his own shop doing his own style. He get’s more respect locally then you will ever. I believe in time his name will surpass Trotta in the future. So don’t hate. Put you money where you mouth is bike to bike. Well, now bagger to bagger..
Biker build off!!!!
And really the only shit talkers around the bike comunity is coming from you, your shop, and your employees.
But I need to say you need watch what you say to people because shit always will come back to you.
Yes that was @ EDDIE the Shit talker..
