Demon's Cycle Introduces Their New Custom Bike Engine; The 114ci is
Smooth and Reliable
Demon's Cycle has released a new custom motorcycle engine, the 114ci.
Manufactured exclusively for Demon'sCycle by Ultima in the USA, the 114ci
improves reliability without reducing performance.

June 6, 2009 (FPRC) -- Demon's Cycle, the Florida based custom motorcycle
company, are pleased to announce the arrival of their new custom motorcycle engine,
the 114ci. Working in partnership with Ultima, the popular manufacturer of high
performance custom motors, Demon's Cycles have worked to build an engine with
less piston speed and so less wear on the cylinder walls and pistons skirts. This new
lower piston speed will make the engine more reliable than other engines which run at
higher speeds.

Demon's Cycle are expert custom bike builder and they had used an engine from
Ultima called the 113ci. But they also saw ways to improve it. Demon's Cycle entered
into partnership with Ultima and re-engineered the 113ci to make the new
2009 Demon's 114ci motor.

"We have finally achieved what no one else has" said Tom Steinbacher, of Demon's
Cycles. "We have created a high performance engine that is reliable and will give our
customers the dependability they seek.”

Custom bike building is all about engineering, and the engineering and innovation in
the 114ci is up to Demon's normal high standards. Compared to the 113ci 4 1/2 inch
stroke and a 4 inch bore. Demon's 114ci has a 4 inch stroke and 4 1/4 inch bore. This
reduces the piston speed. This reduction in piston speed results in less wear on the
cylinder walls and piston skirts. This makes it possibly the most reliable engine
available today.

Demon's 114ci increases the rod ratio (rod length divided by stroke) and so lessens
the side load on the cylinder walls, reducing friction, heat, and allowing a much more
free revving motor. By utilizing the MWM 248 cam Demon's Cycle were able to retain
the great torque characteristics down low and with the increased cylinder fill provided
by the increased rod ratio, the Demon's 114ci will still pull very hard on the top end.

Another advantage of the shorter stroke is that the Demon's 114ci is smoother than
the 113ci. By using a 4 1/4 inch bore engine family, the Demon's 114ci has a stronger
3 piece crankshaft along with stronger rods. After all this re-engineering Demon's
Cycle are selling the 114ci for the same price as the 113c but with special air cleaner,
better rocker boxes and a thicker head gasket for more reliability and dependability.
The 114ci is available exclusively from Demon's Cycle and comes in high polished,
natural and black finish.

Demon's Cycle Partnership with Utima
Produces New High Performance Motor
Demon's Cycle Inc. and Ultima Motorcycle Products have teamed up to produce
and make available to the Performance oriented motorcycle public a motor that has
never before been available and which will become the new standard by which
all V-twins are compared.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 5, 2009 -- Demon's Cycle Inc. and Ultima Motorcycle
Products have teamed up to produce and make available to the Performance oriented
motorcycle public a motor that has never before been available and which will become
the new standard by which all V-twins are compared. As a competitor, it by far
exceeds the capabilities of engine offered by Harley-Davidson. The new design
onfiguration is built upon tried and proven engine configuration but is clearly superior
in all respects and vastly outperforms the competition in many ways.

Not just another quality engine. The designers of this high performance model built in
too many features to list but the most distinguishable are noted below. Demon's Cycle
and Ultima are foremost in cutting edge performance related style and quality
mechanical innovation. The new engine offered here clearly demonstrates that they

have found the secret which others had previously sought after but have come up short
until this time. Here are some of the differences and advantages of the new
Demon's 114 engine in comparison to the Ultima 113 ci engine:

The 113 has a 4 1/2 in stroke and a 4" bore. The 113 is an under square motor (more
stroke than bore) and has much higher piston speed (linear feet per second) than the
Demon's 114" which has a 4" stroke and 4 1/4 bore. They have managed to reduce
piston speed in Demon's 114" Motor's.
This reduction in piston speed results in less wear on the cylinder walls and piston
skirts. So it's the most reliable engine out there on today's market. This is the future
engine and they sell it for the same price as a 113" Ultima engine with special air
cleaner, better rocker boxes and thicker head gasket for more reliability and
dependability.

Also, the increase in rod ratio (rod length divided by stroke) lessens the side load on
the cylinder walls, reducing friction, heat, and allowing a much more free reving motor.

By utilizing the MWM 248 cam we were able to retain the great torque characteristics
down low and with the increased cylinder fill provided by the increased rod ratio,
the Demon's 114 will still pull very hard on the top end.

"We have made the first reliable high performance engine ever created. We nailed
the task. It will create many very happy customers," says Artem Rodos,
Demon's Cycle VP.

Another advantage of the shorter stroke is that the Demon's 114" is smoother than
the 113. Being based on the 4 1/4" bore engine family, the Demon's 114" has
the much stronger 3 piece crankshaft used in the 120/127/130/140 series of motors,
along with the much stronger rods.
Billet rocker boxes with holes allow for much better cooling and breathing of
the engine. Demon's custom billet air intake system allows for much better air flow and
unrestricted performance.

'We should mention that the Demon's 114 is .125 shorter than a 120/127 for those
early Softail frames that are very difficult to fit a 120/127 in. And, a lot more exhaust
systems will fit with less hassle than on a 120/127 engines.'

Demon's Cycles and Domani Motorcars Form 'Exotic' Partnership
Michael Ghanem, the founder and owner of Domani Motors, met Tom Steinbacher,
the owner of Demon's Cycle, at a charity event and soon discovered that sponsoring
local charities was not the only thing they had in common. Quickly a new partnership
developed, between the builders of machines with two wheels and dealer of those
with four.

Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 28, 2009 -- Demon's Cycles, the innovative
custom motorcycle builder and Domani Motors, the exotic, sports, and luxury
automobile dealer have formed a rather unique partnership. Michael Ghanem, the
founder and owner of Domani Motors, met Tom Steinbacher, the owner of Demon's
Cycle, at the Boys and Girls Club 3rd Annual Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance on
February 20, 2009. They soon found out that they had many mutual interests, including
customers looking for exotic transportation.

Michael and Tom quickly discovered that sponsoring local charities like Camila's
House Miami and United Way was not the only thing they had in common. Demon's
Cycle is known all over the world for their custom built motorcycles as well as for the
sales of high quality Harley-Davidson aftermarket parts. Domani stands out as one of
the finest in luxury automobiles dealers in the world and sells high class, quality cars
like Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Exotic toys on four wheels and two
wheels go hand in hand and many of the customers of Domani Motors also happened
to be the customers of Demon's Cycles Inc.

Both business owners saw this as an opportunity to create a partnership. Now they
have made an agreement to combine efforts. Demon's Cycle has already built a few
custom motorcycles designed exclusively to Domani Motors' customer specifications.
Now even the most demanding customers can find a great way to show off their exotic
machines by getting a unique custom motorcycle to match their exotic taste in cars.

"In the end everyone is a winner, especially the kids" said Tom Steinbacher, of the
Demon's Cycles. "Distinguished Domani Motors and Demon's cycle clientele now
have the opportunity to view, test drive and purchase some of the best custom
motorcycles in the world built by Demon's Cycle and the exotic car of their dreams
from Domani."

New Florida Law Makes Vertical License Plate Holders Illegal;
Custom Bikers Could Face Big Fines

Demon's Cycle is raising awareness of a new Florida law which makes vertical
license plates illegal. With fines up to $5000, for repeat offenders, the custom
motorcycle company also questions if the law makers are more interested in money
than safety.

April 10, 2009 (FPRC) -- Demon's Cycle Inc., a custom motorcycle company in Florida,
is raising awareness of a new Florida state law banning vertical license plates.
The law, which was passed in October 2008, applies not only to motorcycles being
driven in the state but also to stopped and parked motorcycles meaning that many
custom motorcycles are currently in violation of the law even when not used.

The new law states that "vehicle license plates shall be affixed and displayed in such
a manner that the letters and numerals shall be read from left to right parallel to the
ground.” This means that vertical number plates which read left to right and top to
bottom are now illegal.

First time offenders of the new law face fines of over $1000 while for a second infraction
the fine is more than double this at over $2500 with the possibility of losing your
motorcycle license for 1 year. The third violation costs $5,000 and loss of motorcycle
license endorsement for 10 years. For those who need to replace their license plate
brackets to horizontal ones, Demon's Cycle offer a number of choices.

Tom Steinbacher, the owner of Demon's Cycle Inc. expressed his outrage saying,
"I wonder who in Florida makes this kind of law and especially who regulates the
amount of the fine? I can be driving with twice the posted speed limit endangering other
people, even worse, I can be speeding in a truck right through a school zone putting
children in danger. If I get caught, I will be fined from $250 to maybe $600. But if my
motorcycle shows its license plate vertically I will be fined $1000 or more even if the
bike is parked! Are the lawmakers worried about safety issues here or just trying to
make a quick buck of bikers?!"

Other things to note in the new law are that the license plates need to be mounted
at least 12 inches from the ground and no higher than 60 inches. They must also be no
more than 24 inches to the left or right of the centerline of the bike. Plates that swing
are not acceptable and all the writing on the plate must be legible from 100 feet and free
from defacement, mutilation, grease, and other obscuring matter (like mud).

"There are thousands of custom motorcycles in Florida and a vertical sidemount license
plate bracket is on almost every one of them. It has been so popular with bikers for over
a decade" said Art Rodos of Demon's Cycles Inc. "The new law will put them in
awkward situation and make them a subject to enormous fines (way higher then fines
for speeding and reckless driving) and not too many people are aware of the new law.”

Crossroads® Magazine. February 2007 Issue. (#115)
Nice Asp
When my amigo, Tom ?The German?, told me that his company, Demon?s Cycle South, had just finished a new project bike, I figured it?d be special. I?ve seen their work before, and I?ve never failed to be impressed, but this time they?ve outdone themselves. Not only that, as you can plainly see, they got the infamous and gorgeous Nikki to pose with it! Now, before ya get me started on Nikki, let me tell ya about the bike. (Yeah, there?s a bike there? Just to the right of Nikki?s cute little ass.) 

It?s a 2007 Demon?s Custom chopper, an? it?s damn sure one of a kind! 

It?s a rigid, with no hidden suspension to soften the hit, and no little bicycle shock under the seat to help save yer ass either. In fact, the seat is just what ya see in the pictures: Steel bars! This is NOT a candy-ass motorcycle, but a true blue ball-buster! If ya let a little air outa that Avon 300 mm rear tire, it might help a little, but I doubt it. How about power, Ya ask? The Demon?s folks chose a 110? Rev Tech engine, then put the baby on the bottle! Yep? NOS. 

It?s coupled to a 6-speed tranny by a fat-ass 3-inch BDL belt drive, an? to make sure ya hear this bad bitch comin? at ya, Demon?s made the custom pipes that?ll not only announce yer arrival, but burn all the hair off of any dog dumb enough to chase ya. 

With a ride like this, not just any ol? wheels would do, so it?s restin? on rims by Weld Racing, wrapped up all snug in Avon rubber. 

Inverted front forks give the leadin? end some serious bling, an? sets off that wild lookin? headlight and custom bars an? risers from Demons. 

Tom wanted somethin? unusual to set off the 8-inch stretch custom fuel tank, so he had his best friend Chris Nichols of Kaos Kustom Paint up in Rhode Island lay on the snake skin graphics to make this evil Twin look even more sinister. It?s what ya call ?dressin? for success?. 

In case ya were wondering, yeah? This bike?s for sale. Even if ya want to build yer own, or just dress up what yer ridin?, give Tom a shout down in sunny Florida. He sells quality parts at rock bottom prices, and the whole Demon?s crew are great to work with. That?s why I buy so much stuff from ?em. You can contact ?em at:

Back in Black. Alan, the owner of this 2006 Demon's Cycle South Chopper, is addicted to two wheels. To feed his addiction, he's a self admitted mild mannered, suit and tie wearing, hard working member of the financial service industry. He's also quick to admit that the minute the clock releases him, he's crazy man. That's how Tom the German at Demon's Cycle South describes him.
Alan's love of two wheels includes road cycling that most recently saw him racing bicycles in Argentina. A team mate introduced Alan to Tom a few years ago when Alan had expressed an interest in acquiring a bad ass chopper. Tom said that Allan was very sure of what he wanted from the start. Alan wanted a radical, mean, big, long, different, loud and obnoxious bike with no fenders and it had to be black. Running no fenders is how Tom knew for certain that Alan was truly crazy. Tom told us that one day Alan showed up on his new ride with a huge black stripe down his back from no rear fender and he wore it like a badge of honor.
The bike sports a dropped seat and raked neck 250 frame with 12 inch over forks and a 6 inch stretched tank. The high polished 110ci RevTech motor and matching 6-speed transmission takes all the heart pounding fun to the fat 280 series rear wheel with a mounted 300 series tire to protect the rim via a chain drive allowing plenty of clearance. The all left side drive is perfectly counter weighted to the right and the bike with apehangers and custom Venetti wheels rides like a dream. The one of a kind headlight and metallic black ghosted skulls & flames complete the picture. Tom's girlfriend Mandy looks like she could calm the Demon's.
Alan stands a proud 6 foot 3 inches tall exactly. We know this because Tom the German at Demon's took out his measuring tape and measured Alan, literally from head to toe for his next ride that's going to be just a little bigger across the board.

2006 Carbon Fiber STREET FIGHTER
Tom The German Steinbacher is a man with three things on his mind. The first is building extremely exiting European style motorcycles that people flip for. The second is delivering his bikes and complete line of motorcycle parts to the public at unbelievably low prices. His third thought, though not necessarily in this order, is about beautiful women. You only have to meet The German for a few minutes for all of the above to become obvious. True to his German heritage Tom is not shy. He's straight to the point, heavily opinionated and has a no BS presence that cuts to the quick. This said, you always know where he's coming from.
This wicked 2006 carbon fiber Street Fighter is a perfect example of the work style and affordability that comes out of Tom's shop Demon's Cycle South Inc., located in Pompano Beach, Florida. This German styled bike would easily be valued at $75,000 or more elsewhere but Tom offers it up for sale at only $29,999. This is what he does. This is what he is good at.
Tom, as he always stays true to his heritage, started with an imported German frame. He has a selection of them available at Demon's Cycle South. He also offers them at unreal law pricing at Bike Week in Daytona Beach.
This Softail 250 drop seat Street Fighter frame seriously set the tone for this Euro styled bike. Tom set bike up to handle like a GSXR; that's the true European way. It has to be thoroughly radical in looks and design. It also has to ride and handle like a bat out of hell.
The chromed 54mm inverted front end, which is set into the frame at a 38 degree rake, is made complete with Demon's 5 piece billet aluminum handlebars and spike grips. The carbon fiber gas tank, fenders and seat all round out the package nicely. The custom carbon fiber fuel tank is made in South Africa and gives this Demon's Street fighter its round edge. Bob, The Sarcastic South African will love it, but who wouldn't.
This Street Fighter is a perfect blend of pure performance and custom without going overboard. The 100ci Rev-Tech engine is fed by a 42mm Mikuni carburetor providing more than enough power to get out of its own way. The 6-speed Rev-Tech transmission won't leave you wanting for another gear. The fat 250 Super Bike swingarm and rear tire assembly is the original deal adorned with a 250 Avon. This provides a stable and stylish end to power train.
A look at the particulars list will fill you in on the rest of the fine details. This Street Fighter was build with two things in mind, European styling and superior handling. Of course everything you see on this bike is available through Demon's Cycle South. Moving custom parts at or below wholesale prices is what Tom and Demon's is all about. He likes to set the prices at about half of what others might charge. 
Tom, who has been in business with Demon's cycle South now for over fifteen years, has a large and knowledgeable staff. They can build you a pure custom bike from ground up starting only $15,000. Tom's no BS attitude and flare comes at no extra charge. (Model not included)

2006 Carbon Fiber STREET FIGHTER
Tom The German Steinbacher is a man with three things on his mind. The first is building extremely exiting European style motorcycles that people flip for. The second is delivering his bikes and complete line of motorcycle parts to the public at unbelievably low prices. His third thought, though not necessarily in this order, is about beautiful women. You only have to meet The German for a few minutes for all of the above to become obvious. True to his German heritage Tom is not shy. He's straight to the point, heavily opinionated and has a no BS presence that cuts to the quick. This said, you always know where he's coming from.
This wicked 2006 carbon fiber Street Fighter is a perfect example of the work style and affordability that comes out of Tom's shop Demon's Cycle South Inc., located in Pompano Beach, Florida. This German styled bike would easily be valued at $75,000 or more elsewhere but Tom offers it up for sale at only $29,999. This is what he does. This is what he is good at.
Tom, as he always stays true to his heritage, started with an imported German frame. He has a selection of them available at Demon's Cycle South. He also offers them at unreal law pricing at Bike Week in Daytona Beach.
This Softail 250 drop seat Street Fighter frame seriously set the tone for this Euro styled bike. Tom set bike up to handle like a GSXR; that's the true European way. It has to be thoroughly radical in looks and design. It also has to ride and handle like a bat out of hell.
The chromed 54mm inverted front end, which is set into the frame at a 38 degree rake, is made complete with Demon's 5 piece billet aluminum handlebars and spike grips. The carbon fiber gas tank, fenders and seat all round out the package nicely. The custom carbon fiber fuel tank is made in South Africa and gives this Demon's Street fighter its round edge. Bob, The Sarcastic South African will love it, but who wouldn't.
This Street Fighter is a perfect blend of pure performance and custom without going overboard. The 100ci Rev-Tech engine is fed by a 42mm Mikuni carburetor providing more than enough power to get out of its own way. The 6-speed Rev-Tech transmission won't leave you wanting for another gear. The fat 250 Super Bike swingarm and rear tire assembly is the original deal adorned with a 250 Avon. This provides a stable and stylish end to power train.
A look at the particulars list will fill you in on the rest of the fine details. This Street Fighter was build with two things in mind, European styling and superior handling. Of course everything you see on this bike is available through Demon's Cycle South. Moving custom parts at or below wholesale prices is what Tom and Demon's is all about. He likes to set the prices at about half of what others might charge. 
Tom, who has been in business with Demon's cycle South now for over fifteen years, has a large and knowledgeable staff. They can build you a pure custom bike from ground up starting only $15,000. Tom's no BS attitude and flare comes at no extra charge. (Model not included)

DEMON'S CYCLE SOUTH 

Buying power - chopper power   
        
‘The German' makes bike building accessible 
     
 by Buckshot  
     
I don't know how the rest of you feel about your money and your sani¬ty, but I've never been blessed with a whole lot of either, so I like to keep as much as I can of the dwindling supply of both. That's why, when I find-a parts source that sells top quality parts at fair prices, with hassle-free delivery, I'm happy.
I'm starting another chopper from the ground up, and the logical place to start is the frame. All the frames I looked at were great, but a little steep for this ol' dog's budget. I was look¬ing at my old FLH as a probable donor when I ran across Demon's Cycle South. Now, I'd never heard of ‘em, and I wasn't all that sure about the quality of the frames, but I decid¬ed to take a chance. Hell, I could always send it back if I wasn't satis¬fied, right?
The frame arrived less than a week later, and for $595, I got an Ultima rigid for a 250 tire, with 34 degrees of rake, a 4” downtube stretch, and a 1” backbone stretch. I can tell ya, it's a thing of beauty! I was so pleased with it that I called the owner, Tom

FOYT TURNS IN GREAT PERFORMANCE AT DAYTONA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. February 12, 2005--"It was the best car I have ever driven,” Foyt
said. "I really thought I had a shot to win before the troubles started.”

"He drove the race of his life”, said A.J. Foyt of son Larry who competed in ARCA's
Discount Auto Parts 200 Saturday afternoon at Daytona International Speedway.

Foyt qualified the No. 16 Fulltiltpoker.com/Demon's Cycle South Inc. Dodge in 12th spot
and was running third when he pitted for fuel and tires. He beat the two leaders out of the
pits but a slight pit infraction by a crew member who stepped over the pit wall (without a
helmet) to pick up a lug nut resulted in a heavy one lap penalty.

Restarting on the inside a lap down, Foyt got his lap back by passing the leaders and
maintaining his lead until the next caution (about 14 laps). He went to the back of the field
in 32nd spot but on the lead lap. He then sliced his way through the field and was running
a strong sixth with two laps to go.

Looking at a top five finish despite the setbacks in the race, Foyt's luck went from bad to
worse. A couple cars ahead of him tangled; Foyt took evasive action and thought he had
the accident missed until Todd Kleuver's car flipped into Foyt's path and with nowhere to
go, Foyt nicked him.

When the dust settled, 13 cars had piled up on the backstretch with several cars getting
airborne. Two drivers went to the hospital and 11 to the infield care center. Foyt was
uninjured but driver Billy Venturini sustained an injury to his second vertebrae which
required hospitalization at Halifax Medical Center. He is expected to make a full
recovery.

The race finished under yellow. Foyt was credited with 12th place. Bobby Gerhart won
followed by Frank Kimmel and J.J. Yeley.

"Not a single car passed me all night,” said Foyt afterwards. "If they hadn't shortened the
race by 15 laps, I think I had a shot to win even with the penalty. The car was working
great. I felt bad for my crew because they had given me a great stop and one guy just put
one foot over the wall but wasn't wearing a helmet, which is against the rules. He felt
awful. It seemed like a tough call but we didn't let it get us down. We were hauling to get
back to the front. I'm disappointed with the way things turned out but it was a lot of fun up
to the end. Afterwards, a lot of guys in the Cup garage congratulated me which made me
feel good.”
There were several accidents before the Big One. One driver got airborne and came
down on top of the wall exiting the tri-oval on lap 24. The race had to be red-flagged for
nearly 40 minutes as repairs were made (to the wall and safety wires) causing the race
to be shortened.

During the caution, rookie Blake Feese overshot his pit, entered an opening in the pit
road wall hitting four photographers, one of whom was taken to the hospital and later
released. No one was seriously injured. Another accident came 16 laps later sendin
five drivers to the infield care center with none seriously injured.

Foyt is remaining in Florida for Speedweeks although he has no plans to compete at this
time.

Vom Fabrikarbeiter zum Millionär

 

Hengsberger Thomas Steinbacher baut in Florida Harleys um

Von PZ-Mitarbeiter Erik Stegner - Mit der eigenen Yacht zum Hochseefischen,
im hauseigenen Kino die neuesten Hollywood-Filme sehen, oder doch lieber
einen Fuhrpark mit Luxusschlitten von Ferrari bis Lamborghini? Der
Hengsberger Thomas Steinbacher hat in den USA das geschafft, wovon viele
in Deutschland träumen.
zum Vergrößern auf das Bild klicken

Der 37-jährige Auswanderer lebt als
Millionär in Florida. Seinen Wohlstand
erarbeitete er sich mit der Herstellung
und dem weltweiten Verkauf von
Motorradteilen per Internet, sowie dem
Umbau hubraumstarker Chopper.
"German Style made in USA", titelte
die Motorrad-Zeitschrift Daytona Week
ber Steinbacher und widmete ihm samt
seinem Unternehmen Demon"s Cycle
Inc. gar eine Doppelseite.
Der gelernte Steinmetz genießt sein
Leben unter Palmen in vollen Z gen,
vergn gt sich mit den bereits genannten
Annehmlichkeiten, oder frönt seiner
großen Leidenschaft, dem Golfspiel.
Zu seinen Kunden gehören reiche und
bekannte Musiker, Schauspieler,
Rennfahrer und Wall-Street-Spekulanten, deren Namen Steinbacher
nicht nennen möchte. Doch auch in seinem Fall hatten die Götter vor dem
Erfolg den Schweiß gesetzt. Das bekam der Deutsche 1992 zu sp ren, als
er gerade angekommen mit den Schattenseiten im Land der unbegrenzten
Möglichkeiten konfrontiert wurde. Der 21-Jährige hatte mit der Sprache
zunächst große Probleme. Die ersten Sporen musste sich der Auswanderer
als Hilfsarbeiter in einer Gummifabrik verdienen. Nur wenig blieb vom
mickrigen Stundenlohn f r große Spr nge brig. Er wurde Mitglied einer
Rocker-Gang, lebte oft nur in den Tag hinein. Aber der Motorradfreak hatte
eine Idee, die sich f r sein weiteres Leben als entscheidend herausstellte:
Von seinem m hsam ersparten Geld kaufte er sich eine schrottreife Harley
und restaurierte die Maschine in unzähligen Arbeitsstunden. Seine
Hartnäckigkeit sollte sich lohnen, er verkaufte das umgebaute Motorrad mit
sattem Gewinn und legte damit den finanziellen Grundstock f r seinen
weiteren Erfolg. Nicht verborgen blieb dem cleveren Geschäftsmann, dass
neben den Motorradumbauten, eine große Nachfrage nach handgefertigten
Ersatz- und Umbauteilen f r die Motorradkultmarke Harley-Davidson
besteht. Mit dem stetig wachsenden Internet, wuchs auch sein
Unternehmen. Mittlerweile verkauft Steinbacher fast in alle Länder auf dem
Globus. Per World-Wide-Web Internetshop erzielt er Millionenumsätze.
Die so genannte High-Society reißt sich um seine außergewöhnlichen
Motorradumbauten, denen der Ruf von deutscher Qualitätsarbeit vorauseilt.
Doch der Selfmade-Millionär genießt nicht nur das s ße Leben. Er steht
jeden Tag in seiner Werkstatt in Pompano Beach. T ftelt, schraubt und
bernimmt f r zehn Angestellte die Verantwortung.
Außerdem engagiert er sich f r Kinder, deren Eltern Alkoholiker sind.
Steinbacher definiert sein Leben so: Tags ber Motorräder bauen, nachts
im Collage studieren und ab und zu auch anderen Leuten helfen.
"Es macht mir Spaß f r Kinder, denen es nicht so gut geht, den reichen
Onkel zu spielen", sagt er. Ende des Monat sendet der Fernsehsender
Kabel 1 einen großen Bericht ber den Pirmasenser unter dem Titel:
Mein neues Leben XXL (30. März, 20.15 Uhr).
© Copyright Pirmasenser Zeitung • Mittwoch, 26. März 2008

Thomas Steinbacher hat es geschafft. Vor sechzehn Jahren wanderte
der Hengsberger in die USA aus. Jetzt ist er Millionär. PZ-Mitarbeiter Erik Stegner
rach mit dem harten Rocker.
Warum haben Sie 1992 Hengsberg verlassen und sind nach Florida ausgewandert?
Steinbacher: Ich wollte mit dem bermäßigen Trinken aufhören, was in einem kleinen
Dorf in Hengsberg nicht so einfach war. Außerdem sehnte ich mich vor 16 Jahren
danach, die große Welt zu sehen. Was lag also näher, als nach Amerika zu gehen.
Hatten Sie damals bereits einen konkreten Plan in der Tasche? Steinbacher: Nein,
den hatte ich definitiv nicht. Ich wollte nur nicht so weitermachen. Haben Sie noch
Kontakte in die alte Heimat? Steinbacher: Per Telefon und E-Mail pflege ich oft
Kontakte mit Freunden. Vor sechs Monaten warich zu Besuch,ummeine Eltern zu
sehen. Denn sie sind wichtiger Teil meines Lebens. Ich bin sehr stolz auf sie. Ohne
die Arbeitsmoral, die sie mir beibrachten, hätte ich niemals den Erfolg. Im Ausland
gibt es ein Erfolgsrezept: Arbeiten, arbeitenund nochmals arbeiten.
