SCOTT CHESTER who has a background in automotive and industrial design studied at the Center for Creative Studies College of Art and Design in Detroit, Michigan, Pratt Institute
in Brooklyn, New York and Art Center College in Pasadena, California. Upon graduating, he combined his college gained expertise and love of motorcycles and opened his own custom motorcycle paint shop, A C I D, Inc. (named for his daughter, Arielle Chester Industrial Design). He began customizing motorcycles and helmets for affluent private collectors.

As part of this ongoing creative process, ACID completed
what he calls his “soda series,” which included bikes designed
with recognizable graphics from such soft drinks as Coca Cola,
7-Up, Mountain Dew, Sprite and Dr Pepper. “I wanted to create something that when you saw it go by on the street, you
wouldn’t forget it,” ACID explains. “Yet you’d recognize the logo,
at 70mph and it would be familiar, even if you had never seen
the bike before.” He has also completed motorcycles with
graphics of Heineken, Coors Light and Sunoco. Tommy Hilfiger and ECKO UNLIMITED each own two ACID bikes, and Scott
has designed a custom helmet for Ralph Lauren.

Additionally, the “Queen of Hearts” bike was featured in the
DMX ‘Rough Ryders Anthem’ video. ACID’s Yankee bike was featured in the Yankees World Series 1998,1999 Victory
Parades up Broadway, in New York City.

ACID’s custom motorcycle and helmet designs must present
an interesting visual while flashing past as well as standing
up to scrutiny when the bike and rider are at a stop light. His designs are outstanding in both scenarios because they are vibrant and unforgettable.
