Ron Starrantino, V.P. of Worldwide Sales & DevelopmentAlex Mardikian introduces New Muscle for the Von Dutch Kustom Cycles lineup for 2006. Kustom Built and Road Tested are the fundamentals of one of the coolest motorcycle companies in the market. Von Dutch Kustom Cycles offers a lifestyle experience, unique with a high level of Americana detail built around quality and performance. The time has come to bring this line of high octane rolling art to the people worldwide.
The New Muscle on the road for 2006 is the addition to Von Dutch
Kustom Cycles, newly appointed Vice President of Worldwide Sales
and Dealer Development, Mr. Ron Starrantino, a.k.a. “Ronstar”.
Ronstar@vondutch.com will be establishing a worldwide dealer network,
as well as a campaign of awareness that will spread beyond the
trend setting clothing and merchandise, taking to the roots of
the kustom kulture lifestyle of Southern California. Mr. Starrantino
states “I do not want to just set up motorcycle shops because
Von Dutch Kustom Cycles are about so much more. It’s the
kulture, it’s the rebel, it’s the alter ego and it’s
the factor of cool. From the icon Flying Eyeball to the neon signs
and vintage gas pumps, this is every little boys dream and we all
know what separates men from the boys. It’s the price of
their toys. We’re here to fit those needs.” Ronstar was a nationally ranked athlete; a middleweight bodybuilder and was nationally qualified five times. His dedication, perseverance and enthusiasm paved his way to Wall Street in 1991 where within three years he was managing a firm. As an aggressive entrepreneur he went on to own a firm and bought a broker/dealer where he had level 3 trading on the NASD. He continued on with his top brokers and went onto the NYSE. Unfortunately, after the national incident that occurred on September 11th, the market started to plummet, so he retired successful and with a clean license. In 2002, after meeting with Roger Bourget, he was the prime individual to improve New York sales, which is the original Bourget dealer on the east coast. By 2004 they were rated as the number one dealer, outselling the second largest dealer 2:1. When asked about the sales skyrocketing, Mr. Starrantino stated “I know how to sell, so if the product is good, it’s going to sell”.
Knowing that the market is currently soft is one thing, but Ronstar believes in Von Dutch Kustom Cycles and believes it’s just that there are so many bike builders regurgitating the same thing as just a simple example. He deems this is where Von Dutch Kustom Cycles has an edge, being very different, very unique, legally compliant meeting the EPA standards and offers a lot for the price point. Von Dutch is a manufactured specialty bike. One very popular model is the Flying Dutchman, which is affordably priced in the mid $30Ks and is truly one of the hottest Bobbers on the market today. The analogy of Ronstar is that in this business the cream will rise and the crap will seek its own level. As more Von Dutch Kustom Cycles are sold and customers are able buy their individuality, their alter ego and set themselves apart from the crowd, Von Dutch Kustom Cycles should come out on top.
The 2006 model year will unveil a new face for Von Dutch, taking a little bite out of that slipping market as three new models are introduced. One is going to be a 300 tire pro street series, a 300 tire chopper series and of course, another unorthodox Bobber. It’s going to be the hottest bikes on the market. Mr. Mardikian and Mr. Starrantino state in closing “Look out because here we come!!” For Information: 11/19/05 |
