The creative mind behind Thunder Struck Custom Bikes is Mark Daley. Mark moved to Oregon in 1979 from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. Mark’s creativity comes honestly and naturally. His interest in motorcycles started at age 5 in a garage wrenching on an old panhead with his dad. As a teenager, Mark restored old cars. He has the ability to turn a wrecked car into a very expensive work of art. Although Mark enjoyed restoring cars, his true passion was motorcycles. In 1995 he quit his job of 15 years and started Thunder Struck Custom Bikes. Mark never looked back; his business has grown into a thriving enterprise.

Customers come from miles around to have him work on their bikes, and even further to have a custom bike built to fit them. Mark has a special talent, as he listens to a customers needs and wants, he can visualize what the bike will look like. The finished product must be flawless. The lines of the bike, from front to rear must flow, effortlessly, as if one piece. Only then is Mark satisfied with his creation.
