#JohnGatti
Custom Builder Profile - Spider Racing
Florida, like California, has a large motorcycle population thanks to the mostly year-round riding environment. This nearly perfect climate was reason enough for John Gatti to move from his hometown in nearby Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to South Florida. Drawn into the world of drag racing at the young age of 15, a lack of funds upon his arrival in Florida meant he had to learn to make his own performance parts. As his skills grew over the years, so did his goal of owning his own shop, one where he could design and build the one-off bikes spinning around in his imagination – a wild mix of vintage racing heritage melded with streetfighter personalities.
