Brad Hall caught the bug early. His dad lived on a utility road in the Tacoma, Washington, area called the “Pipeline,” a long gravel road with trails on both sides. Brad would go to his dad’s on weekends where he could hear motorcycles coming from “miles away.” He remembers running out to the road just to watch them ride by. Recognizing this passion Brad had for bikes, his dad finally sprung for a mini-bike, one with gold metal-flake and a rip cord engine. His dad would fire it up for him nice and early on weekends and Brad would ride all day long. His dad told him when he bought it that

“You’ll have to learn to work on it because I’m not”. HE was just 10 years old then.

After a while he started to meet other riders and eventually got into racing motorcycles, something he did up to the age of 45. Hall started out on an XR75 and raced 125s and 250s and he won a few local championships until he blew his shoulder out, bringing an end to his racing career. Hall opened Magic’s Custom Cycle in Spanaway, Washington, Then moved the shop to Roy, Washington, working alongside his son Broc as the love of motorcycles continues to be a family tradition. Broc, a two-time Grand National BMX champion, is currently going to school to get his mechanics certification in order to cater to a broader scope of clientele. Until then, “He’s in there with me, cuttin’ and grindin’ and weldin’ ” Brad said.
