start in the crazy world of bike building.
Dar Holdsworth
Who is Dar Holdsworth? A guy with a dream and desire to build bikes.
Dar is a guy who’s life did not expose him to bike building early on. Dar
spent his adolescent years in an orphanage. He was adopted during his teen years
and joined the Air Force after high school. Shortly after returning from Desert
Storm, Dar’s time in the military had expired and he was moving on to a career
in printing and manufacturing displays for the retail industry.
Prior to Darwin Motorcycles, Dar started and operated a successful Visual/Design
business, providing signage, displays and fixtures to the retail industry.
Dar loves, lives and breaths bikes.
Dar was a customer of Racing Innovations, collaborating on and helping build a few
bikes with Sam Wills. While building a bike for his dad (who adopted him at age
16), Dar approached Sam with a business proposal to design and build bikes together,
“To offer the above average bike to the average Joe”. Sam knew Dar was
not going away and had it in his blood. He accepted and the rest is history.
Like many others, Dar did whatever he could to earn a fair living, be a great father,
husband, and provider. He had his ups & downs, and as life continued on, his
dreams got pushed aside.
Through the support of his loving wife Latrisha, the good fortune to know Sam as
a friend and bike building mentor, and the pure desire to do what he truly loves
(bikes, bikes, bikes) Dar created and operates Darwin Motorcycles.
Darwin Motorcycles, LLC. builds the World renowned, Brass Balls Bobbers and Choppers.
“The above average bike for the average Joe”.
