Shaun is a fully certified Fabrication Engineer, Spray Painter & Panel Beater. As he is well renowned in the custom motorcycle & car industry he is often asked to judge major shows & events including being a VIP Judge at the 2008 World Bike Building Championships in Sturgis, South Dakota.
Previous to relocating to the United States Shaun & Sheree owned & operated their own business. Phat Choppers was a full fabrication motorcycle workshop that produced many award winning custom bikes that were handbuilt by Shaun himself. His wife Sheree managed their retail store which was located in a Shopping Mall at the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. The store specialised in Motorcycle Parts & Accessories, Bikerwear & Phat Chopper Merchandise. Their business proved to be very succesful for many years & due to their hectic worklife they were both in need of a change & decided to travel to the USA.
In their travels they both noticed that there seemed to be an amazing array of vehicles that would suit the Australian Market. Unfortunately the expenses involved in travelling to the USA to inspect potential cars & bikes makes the whole process way too costly for the average buyer. Hence the formation of Phat Ridez.
Phat Ridez is offering a much needed service between USA Sellers & Australian buyers.
The service will provide Shaun's expertise in hand selecting unique motorcycles & cars that are in the condition that any buyer would expect. Shaun will then complete a full comprehensive report on the vehicle including high quality photographs. The report will consist of a thorough inspection of all aspects of the vehicle including, interior & exterior paint fit & finish, interior upholstery, instrumentation, mechanical, drivetrain condition & details, vin numbers & title checks etc. Once this process is completed to our satisfaction, only then will the vehicle be made available on the website. By purchasing a vehicle from PhatRidez be assured that you will be 100% satisfied. We guarantee that your vehicle will be in the same condition as described in the detailed report. To make your purchase even more stress free, Phat Ridez also provides a crating & shipping service. To top it all off why not leave everything to our friendly & efficient staff in Australia to complete your service, Phat Ridez can organize pick up & delivery of your vehicle & arrange modification, engineers certification and registration etc.
Shaun can also inspect vehicles for you or find a particular vehicle that you may require.
Phat Ridez is not like ebay or autotrader etc where anyone can list anything. Every vehicle that is listed on Phat Ridez is Hand selected by Shaun & must meet the stringent standards of workmanship, engineering & asthetics that Shaun would require for a purchase of his own.
