Fredy Jones lives among nearly a hundred Harley-Davidsons: "Like a fashion designer in his atelier!"

Estonia's renowned custom motorcycle builder Fredy Jones lives and works in a space surrounded by nearly a hundred Harley-Davidsons. He recounts how he built a motorcycle for the Hollywood film "Machete" and explains why his clients are never ordinary.

There is a man in Estonia whose home is also a legend. Fredy Jones, the country's most famous custom motorcycle builder, lives and works in a space surrounded by nearly a hundred Harley-Davidsons.

"It's like a fashion designer who lives in his atelier," Jones describes his unconventional lifestyle himself. Relaxing on the sofa means to him gazing at rows of iconic machines, each with its own story, each with its owner or future owner.

From Hollywood to Estonia

Jones's work has travelled far beyond Estonia's borders. One of his most famous creations is a motorcycle specially built for the Hollywood blockbuster "Machete," a film starring Danny Trejo in the lead role. The machine had to meet the director's vision, and Jones's craftsmanship lived up to expectations perfectly.

His clientele is equally distinctive. Jones emphasizes that his door is never knocked on by "grey mice," as he is sought out by people who know exactly what they want, people with character and style.

Passion born in Estonia

Despite his international connections, Jones's heart belongs to Estonia. It is here that his greatest passion was born; Estonia's own workshops and landscapes provide the inspiration that flows into every curve of a machine and rubber strip.

The custom motorcycle world is a niche where technical skill meets artistic vision. Fredy Jones has carved out a unique place for himself in this world, not just in Estonia, but internationally as well.
