Meet the Builders Behind Decatur’s Most Trusted Custom Motorcycle Shop

Discover More

Hate City Cycles isn’t just a motorcycle repair shop — it’s a garage built on grit, grease, and a love for two wheels. What began in the early 2000s as a backyard project among friends has grown into a respected name in vintage motorcycle repair and custom builds throughout Georgia.


Founded by a crew with a shared obsession for two-stroke mopeds, our journey naturally evolved into a deeper focus on motorcycle restoration and custom fabrication. In 2019, we made it official, opening our doors in Decatur with a mission to bring skill, style, and soul to every bike that rolls through.

Our Philosophy: Built with Pride, Made to Ride

We believe motorcycles are more than machines — they’re extensions of the rider. That’s why every repair, restoration, or custom build we take on gets our full attention. We don’t cut corners. We don’t upsell. We build bikes the right way, with respect for craftsmanship and decades of hands-on experience guiding every wrench turn.

Our Crew

We’re a small, skilled team who came up wrenching in garages, racing the streets, and chasing that perfect line. At Hate City Cycles, you’ll find passionate professionals who are just as comfortable talking vintage Hondas as they are fabricating a custom tank from scratch.
