They call it the biggest little city in the world, but Reno, Nevada is home to more than just pristine mountain views and a wild night life. It is also the home of Aaron Greene and Paramount Custom Cycles.
At a very young age, Aaron learned the sense of pride that only comes from building something out of nothing. With the love and guidance of his grandfather, Aaron was taught that he could accomplish anything. On that solid foundation, Aaron began to learn the ins and outs of the mechanical world.
By the time he was 14 years old, Aaron was a full service auto mechanic. At 18, he moved to Arizona and was getting deeper into the Custom Motorcycle Industry working hands on with Surgical Steeds out of Scottsdale. Returning to Northern Nevada at 20, Aaron was now a Custom Builder for Easyriders in Reno and was gaining attention and respect, not only from his fellow builders, but also from the custom motorcycle enthusiasts around him.
Feeling restraints on his creativity, Aaron branched away from Easyriders and in 1997 Paramount Custom Cycles opened as a full service motorcycle repair and customization shop. Owned and operated by one of the industry’s youngest and most innovative, aspiring builders, Paramount has grown from a one bay garage, servicing, customizing and hand fabricating parts and accessories, to now being a complete manufacturing facility.
Today Aaron Greene is the “unsung hero” of the Custom Motorcycle Industry. Holding three United States Machine Patents, leading twenty three employees and running a facility that spans over three buildings, Aaron is just hitting his stride. He manufactures motorcycle frames, handlebars, exhaust pipes and numerous other machined components for today’s American made motorcycles. Through the likes of his “one-off” custom creations, including the 280 Matador, the first motorcycle built in the United States to house a 280mm rear tire, el Wood, the first bike in the world with a 26” front and 20” rear wheel, and the blown-alcohol top fuel racer White Knuckles, Aaron has helped open the lines of creativity and acceptance among his fellow builders. Aaron also produces the world’s first production motorcycle to come stock with a 280mm rear tire. His all inclusive facility in Reno is capable of building a full line of production motorcycles from the ground up.
With a variety of awards under his belt and ever increasing media exposure, Aaron’s major successes lie within the development of his patented Main Shaft Offset Bearing Support System, his Internal Hydraulic Brake and Clutch lines and his new “SoftRigid” chassis.
A true innovator and a true motorcycle enthusiast, Aaron Greene is on the path to bringing the world into the new breed of bike building. “Long Live the New Breed!”
