Welcome to Dying To Ride!

Paint job for my personal bike, hand painted no lace job.

If you are seeking a custom builder that rides then you are in the right place. I am Dennis Willis, I am a Custom Motorcycle Builder, and I am a lifelong rider. If I am not building custom motorcycles and Trikes, I am riding

That is what Dying To Ride is, a Custom Builder/Trike/Sidecar Conversions

Over the years, I have worked and am now retired as a Mac Tools distributor in the Prescott, AZ area. While doing that “day” job I found the time to build many custom motorcycles in my spare time. I have always been a motorcycle rider that was eager to work on my own motorcycles and that lead to building customs. One big advantage that I had was my “day” job in the tool business as it allowed me to learn many new things from my customers who used my tools for their living. Never Try Never Know

With the tool business chapter closed, I have gone full-time into my two passions with Dying To Ride …
1) Building custom motorcycles, choppers, and trikes and restoring classics.
