My name is Rodney Bielling aka R1 Hotrod.  I'm originally from Florida and out of high school, I wanted to see the world so I joined the Navy.  After 8 years in the Navy and seeing the world, my career ended with medical problems and they retired me. 

Now, I'm doing what I love, working with motorcycles as a lead mechanic and sales manager of a local motorcycle shop.  I've been in a motorcycle club, was even Vice President, but I'm not political and just wanted to ride so I gave that up and became independent.

I am also a promoter of motorcycle events, shows, and contests.  I've worked with various celebrities in the motorcycle industry and enjoy working with the public. I was the co-founder of a local charity group that aided families and friends of fallen riders and organized many charity rides and events.

If I'm not at the shop, I'm riding to the local spots to shoot the shit with other motorcycle enthusiast, riding the twisties, stunting or just riding.
