Meet the Team

Chariots of Fire Customs first opened its doors as a full service motorcycle shop in March 2005 at its first location in Moscow Mills, Missouri. After undergoing 2 expansions, owners Jan and Reine Knobbe decided it was time to move into a larger location just a few miles North to Troy, Missouri in 2012. In 2018 we made the final move to our brand new facility just a couple more miles North from the old Troy location. 2113 Alexandria Crossing, Troy, Missouri is where we will be from now on. We built this shop from the ground up and look forward to continue providing great services to you for many more years to come. Be sure to check out our calendar for information about our annual show and other events.

Custom is in our name. Quality is in our products. Service is our reputation.

The Crew

William “Sparky” Tindall

(Technician)

I am a returning employee of Chariots of Fire. I worked for Jan and Reine from 2005 to 2009 when I went to the USAF. I was injured while deployed in Afghanistan, shortly after returning home the USAF medically retired me. Upon my retirement from the military, I was offered a returning position as a technician at COFC, I am thrilled to be back, where I can make new acquaintances and reconnect with the people who I interacted with years ago.

Brian

(Technician)

I am a Harley enthusiast who enjoys riding and working on motorcycles. I retired from the U.S. Army after 22 years of service in June 2017 and finally found something to occupy my time by doing something I enjoy (working on bikes). In addition to riding motorcycle’s, I also enjoy woodworking and spending time with my family. I have been married to my wife Stacey for 31 years and we have three sons and four grandchildren. I am thrilled to be part of the team here at Chariots and have already gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from everyone here.
