Mid MO MC is owned and operated by Norm Wilding, who grew up just outside London England, and learnt his wrenching skills on Triumph, Norton, BSA, Matchless and AJS etc.. From a very early age he was building "hot rod" motorcycles, taking Triumph engines and making them fit into the Norton featherbed frames, and building what is today known as the original "cafe racer". In 1979 Norm built a Harley Davidson 45 trike that took Best Engineering, Best Trike, and Best of Show at "The Kent Bike Show", which was then (and still is) the most prestigious custom motorcycle show in Europe.
His work has been featured in many of the best custom magazines in Europe.
In his 35 years of being "in the business", Norm has built many "show quality" motorcycles, trikes, and hot rod cars. so if it's custom paintwork or custom fabrication you need, then give him a call at (573)445-8827, or email him at norm@midmomc.com .
Mid MO MC is located behind Chapman heating & air on I-70 Drive NW in Columbia Missouri. It's a "one stop" shop for the bike & trike rider.

Check him out! he does lots of custom work but he does maintenance etc also. I have built my bobber through 'stage 1' all on my own, but i cant weld, so he is going to do a one-off exhaust for me, and I just dont trust myself with the carbs so he is going to go ahead and do the stealth air kit install (I could do that but it needs to be done as same time as pipes and jet) and jet kit so the bike runs properly.
I posted a while back in here some of my first wrenching on the bike, and its come a long way, and I havent even begun on the cosmetics part.
