"Little Horse Cycles"

Well one of the reasons I changed my user name is because I am starting my own cafe racer company, called "Little Horse Cycles." Like everything it starts small. I plan to just continue what I have been doing with a touch more professional online exposure. I plan on having a few T-shirt designs for my logo soon for sale to generate a little buzz. If you want to further support me in this quest feel free to go to my company facebook page and "like" the page. Thanks.

Oh and I am totally excited!

Have enjoyed following your builds and wish you the very best of luck in the new venture. Wish you lived in the midwest, would love to have one of your finished projects.

PS. Still want to see the VW bus when you get it done.

exciting. good luck on it. Your mission statement really is enticing. I have a bunch of friends that sound like just who you describe with bikes and always modding but getting hung up on something we don't have the skills or experience to make/mod or fabricate. I'm sure there will be customers.

Haha, well it going to be the parts rig so I have plans to start work on that soon too. It might be a little while though.

Thanks everyone for the support.

I guess we can't address you as "corn" anymore. So, should it be "Little" or "Horse"?...I guess I'll just call you Andrew.

Merry Christmas, and good luck with the business.

I'm a huge fan of the cafe racer style and wish you the best, but I have a question. How does liking you on facebook help your business? I was on facebook for about 2 weeks and thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen. Just a bunch of kids complaining about how much school sucked from what I could see. Do you make any money based on how many friends you get? I'm just curious. Sheldon

Sheldon, I'm not a huge facebook fan myself, but generaly I'd say it's a way of marketing that's almost free... If corn (or Little Horse, dammit...) posts a lot of good pictures, a lot of people like/comment on them, then other people notices him... No money in it from facebook, just publicity... And while the larger percentile is annoying kids, there are a lot of others using facebook...

Good luck. There can never be enough "custom" toys in the world.

Well facebook is free advertising which is why its great for this kind of thing in the start up faze. A lot of "adults" use it too, not just kids anymore. Plus kids grow up and turn into future riders just like you and I did in the past . Clicking "like" is just a friendly way of saying to me "go for it." So probably more encouragement then advertising for now but that will change.

Good answer on the facebook stuff. I guess most of what I was seeing was put on by my nieces and nephews anyway. Do you have a company logo shirt that you sell online anywhere? If so, I'd gladly support you in that manner.

Shirts are in the process of getting made, I will make sure to post up details when they are ready. It shouldn't be too long before they are ready.

If you want to increase your hits, Corn, get your info in your signature line. It really helped Retrospeed.

I believe on company pages all you can do is "like" but I have a FB page too if that works.
