“The Woodsman” Makes Us Want to Get Lost in the Woods

Based out in San Jose, California, Blood Brothers Inc. is a small motorcycle company known for their military ammo box mounts for Triumph modern classics just released their first motorcycle build. A swank looking forest hopping machine called “The Woodsman. “

The motorcycle’s new owner (Marcus) made the bold choice to cash-out from the tech world and focus on a more essential life. He relocated his family to Sweden, bought a 400-year old farm and retired from the rat race.   

“When Marcus asked us to build him a motorcycle, his story supplied all the inspiration we needed. “The Woodsman” is our first custom build,” said Steve Mummolo, co-owner of Blood Brothers Inc.

“The bike is a blend of grit and grace, this custom scrambler is built to handle the rigors of a working farm while preserving the iconic beauty the Bonneville is known for.”

The guys began with a bone stock 2008 T100, stripped away all but the frame and engine and began to build. They seized the opportunity to collaborate with and showcase a favorite bike of theirs with shops and partners from around the world.
