We sit down with Custom Motorcycle builder Matt Hotch and discuss his experiences with notoriety, running a "my hands only" shop as well as one of his most infamous bike builds, "The Vinnie."
Love your bikes matt!happy to see your doin well!!I watch build offs and your are the best!Jessie James and American chopper don't even stand a chance,compared to your bikes!
Great interview, Matt Hotch is such a unique individual, calm, collect, and focused. I wish I saw more people that had that mindset to stay small and retain the quality. Great production again!
What a cool guy,family man and a very talented designer and builder, his bikes are by far the best in design, innovation, style and quality. I’m not sure if he still builds but I hope he, his family and hopefully his company are doing well. Here’s to you Matt and Hot Match cycles. 👍
All respect for this dude. His builds motivate and fool me to believe I should be a builder myself. In my head, my shop is in backyard and my friends are fellow bike enthusiasts. lol That's my story.
Last comment, your words are very healthy and balanced and I believe get no better. People listen to this man forget he's a bike builder. I heard about you 20 + years ago. For bikes only. This is the icing on the cake
I started liking one thing like the front brake. Then, on, and on, and on the list grew to what an amazing flow of engineering. I have no doubt it rides as good as it looks. Thanks for sharing.
Best in the business. You cannot rush quality. That he took a step back to be with his family, right at the height of his popularity, shows what kind of person he is.
I really like your philosophy on life. It's way too short,,so I believe you're living it to the fullest. Spending as much time with family as you can is important especially that children need a solid role model in today's day and age,,,with all the temptation of stupidity and their ACT FIRST,THINK LATER mentality. I've seen your work at different shows and you are a true craftsman,,as your work speaks volumes. Keep it up,,and always,,,,,,,RIDE SAFE😊😊😊😊😊😊
sure this is the bloke who won biker build off 3 or 4 times ..he was the best builder on that show ..1st time ive seen a bike drop down on air ride no need for a stand ..brilliant
Your great father first and foremost you are also a great bike builder somewhere down the road you'll find the yin and yang. One love stay safe to you and yours
I don't give a crap about Vincent, nor Matt, but whenever i feel the need to look at something beautiful, even now, in 2024, i just type: "Biker Build Off: Vincent."
watched most of these biker build-offs and they all seem to kinda be the same old shit with a twist. then one night i watch this guy in an episode. his personality was so cool, then he finished this bagged, long ass sexy bike that blew my mind! then he dissapeared lol.
Basicamente ele ta dizendo que nao gosta muito de como a industria de customs e nos E.u.a por que muitas vezes os donos pagam mal os funcionarios e ai as motos acabam saindo uma bosta e inseguras , no mais e falando da familia e da fama que o biker build off trouxe ao negocio
NICE BIKE - KIDS TAKE A TON OF TIME , I CAN BARELY GET ANYTHING DONE HAVING TWIN 3.5 YEAR OLD BOYS - i managed to get my jeep almost fully restored and started on my Datsun 240 but its all on the waayyy back burner now along with my 76 CB750 chopper build
I said it before, to nobody. And I'll say it again Matt hotch is the Bruce Lee, Ricky Carmichael, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, Eli Tomac, David Blaine, Nikola Tesla of bike building
Let me get this straight. Your 2 yr old toddler took a wrench removed his own training wheels and took off riding on the bike all by himself with no help? Yea thats hard to believe sorry.
Matt sold his bike for safety and family reasons but still smokes as much as my friend who died of lung cancer. Seriously Matt Hotch, you will die of lung cancer sooner than later if you keep smoking tobacco like you do.

About 20 years ago, I was first impressed with the V-lux from Matt! A separate gear switch handle with a little skull on, so cool!
I started liking one thing like the front brake. Then, on, and on, and on the list grew to what an amazing flow of engineering. I have no doubt it rides as good as it looks. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely perfect. Man, keep going your excellent way! I REALY MEAN IT!
Best in the business. You cannot rush quality. That he took a step back to be with his family, right at the height of his popularity, shows what kind of person he is.
I love this dude’s work, he is the Steve Moal of bikes.

Deep, truely deep
I couldn't agree more
How much do one of those beautiful bikes cost???
A lot . I think he holds the record for selling the BB winner for $250K.
I think his bikes go for $40K and up now.

Art ROCK Builder ...

Basicamente ele ta dizendo que nao gosta muito de como a industria de customs e nos E.u.a por que muitas vezes os donos pagam mal os funcionarios e ai as motos acabam saindo uma bosta e inseguras , no mais e falando da familia e da fama que o biker build off trouxe ao negocio
Always loved your bikes , your bikes are ridable bikes not for sit look at
NICE BIKE - KIDS TAKE A TON OF TIME , I CAN BARELY GET ANYTHING DONE HAVING TWIN 3.5 YEAR OLD BOYS - i managed to get my jeep almost fully restored and started on my Datsun 240 but its all on the waayyy back burner now along with my 76 CB750 chopper build
ROCK ON

If you almost get hit and stop riding you weren’t a real rider from the gate
Your priorities in life aren't his.
@@dc4l677 or once again you didn’t love it
@@riffraffchoppers well like he said, he chose family over a bike. If you love a bike over family, your priorities are in the wrong place.
