Shinya Kimura, formerly known as the founder of "ZERO", has launched his own motor & art shop called "Chabott engineering" in the city of Azusa, California in 2006.

In his 23 year career in the motorcycle industry, Shinya started his own small repair shop named Chabott in 1992,
a year before he started ZERO in Japan. Chabott means "bantam rooster" in Japanese and, to Shinya, it means "back to basics".

With the rebirth of Chabott engineering under Shinya's direction, Shinya will continue his exploration of metal and rubber in new and different ways -- not merely building custom bikes -- but creating functional art by infusing his philosophy and aesthetic values into his sculpturally unique and rolling designs.

So, don't miss it!!
