Devin Henriques at Cognito Moto started as so many others do, from a pure love of motorcycles. He began building, customizing and creating parts and motorcycles that took his passion for motorcycles into a business in 2012.
About a year ago, while on her 5th Motorcycle Missions build, Krystal Hess began working with Devin. He’d generously donated his time, expertise and parts for her Motorcycle Mission builds – projects that provide a therapeutic benefit to our veterans and first responders. It was Krystal that introduced Devin to the opportunity to be part of the Flying Piston Benefit at the Buffalo Chip in Sturgis. Because of his relationship and support of Motorcycle Missions, Devin, has two children, ages 3 and 5, who were already loving their own Strider bikes, was eager to sign on to customize a Strider bike.
Devin didn’t have a lot of time but knew he wanted to create a bike in the likeness of his signature style, the café racer. With the help of his two sons, he machined the tank and the seat and stripped and inverted the front forks to give the Strider Bike the look he was going for. The solid alloy components belie the tiny custom’s small size. It’s a heavyweight! Devin agrees and admits that the bike is not necessarily functionally on par to be a daily rider for a young child – but it does get plenty of attention with its sleek good looks. And that ultimately benefits the charities Devin supports.
