Harley Davidson Matte Black

The full on roar of custom choppers and rock ‘n’ roll marked the opening Matt Black Custom Designs in San Pedro recently. The custom design studio brought over SuperEvolver, one of the UK’s hottest up and coming bands. Photography Gary Edwards

(pictured above with Matt Black owner, Anthony Partridge) played a live set and guests proved that Marbella isn’t all Champagne, cavier and cosy cocktail parties. Vodka, Red Bull and beer was the booze which flowed well into the early hours celebrating the opening of a dream realised by Anthony Partridge the Harley Davidson fanatic behind Matt Black. Together with SuperEvolver as entertainment, a Rock style version of Cirque de Soleil group dangled from ribbons and scaled the walls in leather and rubber. Fire breathers and mind blowing dancers also performed between the rock ‘n’ roll anthems and original music from SuperEvolver to about 400 guests, some of whom came over from countries around Europe and also from the USA.

Custom Designs

Matt Black Custom Designs is much more than just a bike shop, more a custom design studio. In brand new facilities in southern Spain that compliment the state of the art design studio there is a full machine shop, offering a huge range of services and options to create your dream machine. The shop also features a huge mural by legendary New York grafitti artist Deko 156, pictured below left with Cameron Bell and Charlotte Fisher. Helping promote the event, Giles Brown was joined on the evening by his father, Peter. (Below right)

When Matt Black Custom Designs are not designing and building custom motorcycles they create bespoke furniture for interior designers and decorative structural metal work for architects and clients worldwide.

This year the company will also be launching Matt Black all inclusive three and five day guided Harley tours, offering the best that Marbella and the Costa del Sol have to offer. Epic daily rides through breath taking scenery. Cruise along warm coastal highways up into stunning winding mountain roads, through lush green forests, passing turquoise lakes and into the Mediterranean countryside .

Music Nights

The shop is designed not only to be a place of work but also the first of its kind bike shop combined with a live music venue. If you are lucky enough to live on the Costa del Sol come down to Matt Black Custom Designs for the monthly live music nights and enjoy the best in international live entertainment, great food and one hell of a good time!
