Who is Dread Sled?

Not every bike earns the name. A Dread Sled is something you build, not buy. It’s a machine with soul — scraped together from barn finds, vintage parts, busted knuckles, and stubborn dedication. It’s what happens when you choose hand-made over mass-produced, and tradition over trend.

We’re here for the ones who keep their old bikes running because they want to, not because it’s easy. For the riders who choose wrenches over screens, manual levers over touchpads, and gas fumes over notifications. This isn’t a hobby — it’s a lifestyle rooted in the raw moto culture of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s.

Dread Sled celebrates the builders, the scroungers, the ones who make something from nothing — and ride the hell out of it. Our gear is made for you: t-shirts that feel like your favorite shop rag, tool rolls that earn their patina, and patches that carry the same attitude as your ride.

We're anti-corporate, pro-calloused hands, and proud of every scar we earn along the way. Because in a world chasing sleek, screen-filled perfection, we’re choosing rust, grit, and the rumble of something real.

Dread Sled isn’t just a brand — it’s what happens when you give a damn about old bikes and the culture that built them.
