Owner/Editor/General Dogsbody
I’m Nate, the founder and editor of Renchlist. I write the majority of articles. I also collaborate with several contributors to the site who share my appreciation of custom, classic and retro motorcycles, alongside riding gear inspired by the past. I write about new retro motorcycles, custom bikes and urban/vintage-inspired riding gear alongside moto culture. My mission is to inspire and inform new and seasoned riders.
What’s my dream garage?
Well, as you asked… I’ll tell you. It would be a glass-fronted, clinically-clean workshop with a rotating central floor, full of modern-classic and neo-retro motorcycles, plus iconic classic sportbikes from the ’70s – like the MV Agusta 750S or Ducati 750 Super Sport. Interspersed among them would be custom bikes created by my favourite bike builders.
In the real world, however, my stock 2018, Triumph Thruxton 1200 R (with the racer kit) is my only bike. It’s got over 30,000 miles on the clock with ~3,000 miles accrued on a European tour that included a stop at Wheels & Waves in Biarritz.
I’m a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast but started riding motorbikes in 2015, after years following The Bike Shed, BikeExif, Return of The Café Racers, Silodrome, Pipeburn and Iron & Air.
It’s probably not a stretch to imagine that motorcycles like the Thruxton 1200 R and other factory cafe racers or retro bikes might not exist if those outlets hadn’t shone a light on new-wave custom bike builders.
Similarly, I may never have swung a leg over a motorcycle were it not for those pivotal platforms.
Those marvellous websites also inspired me to launch Renchlist in 2017 (originally known as CustomBike.cc). It started as a repository of custom bike builders but quickly evolved. So, in 2019 I rebranded it to Renchlist expanding its scope to include a broader range of content.
Renchlist is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, I’m dedicated to bringing you refined and engaging content.
I’m always delighted to connect with fellow riders, so please don’t hesitate to contact Nate directly by email or find me on Instagram: @motophotonate / @renchlist
Thanks for stopping by — keeping on rollin’, shiny side up.
