It's great to still see Chris Ulrich still flying the "Team Hammer!" colors on his Arai helmet after all these years. Those trademark lids were a regualar sight around the shop back in the late 90's as Grant Lopez went through quite a few of them during his AMA Championship days...

Join Port City Custom Cycle as we return to our roots at the upcoming Barber Motorsports Park MotoAmerica Swap Meet in Birmingham Alabama next month.
Our TT journey started all the way back 1996 at a little motorcycle shop called Port City Custom Cycle in Mobile Alabama. When we weren’t restoring vintage machines, we were racing on the weekends at the drag strip, in the dirt and on road courses all over the country with AHRMA, WERA and AMA.
So this event is a kind of coming home where we’ll be cheering on our local boy and multiple AMA champion Josh Hayes as he battles it out with the youngsters on the beautiful Barber race course. And all weekend long we’ll be set up at The Buzzard Lounge clearing out the storage rooms and selling all kinds of parts and memorabilia from back in the day so be sure to stop by and say hi and take home a motorcycle history. And you can’t miss us, we’ll be right at the front of the event, just look for the Isle of Man flag. 🇮🇲

It’s here at Port City Custom Cycle and we’re going wayyy back to 1999 and the days of the PCC Mini Moto Racing Team!
Back in the late ‘90’s with the huge global interest in sportbikes and road racing, Mini Moto Racing made its debut here in the States and Port City Custom Cycle was THE Place for Mini Moto Racing here on the Gulf Coast. And these weren’t your garbage Chinese junk, these were real miniature racing machines straight from Italy! Made up to look like your favorite manufacturers best, we had Ducati’s, Aprilia’s and more. We were an official U.S. importer of Polini and Blata bikes, some of the best made at the time and we sold quite a few over the years. And every weekend we’d gather in local parking lots and map out miniature historic race tracks and literally race the wheels off these things! Good times!
