Court House Custom is in Washington
Court House, Ohio which is located centrally between Columbus, Dayton and
Cincinnati. The company is owned by Jason Stritenberger and D.J.
Jenkins, two long time friends who have known each other since grade school.
Jason and D.J. started welding, building bikes and powder coating in Jason's
garage in 2004. In late 2006 both of them decided to leave long term
jobs to follow the American entrepreneurial dream and start their own
business doing something they love. Since opening, Court House Custom
has grown into a reputable company, turning out some of the finest powder
coating and custom motorcycles in the industry. In mid 2008 Court
House Custom launched a new line of custom motorcycle parts designed and
hand built by D.J. and Jason. In November 2008 CHC finally gained national
recognition when the CHC Triumph was featured in Cycle Source Magazine after
it won best of show in a Cycle Source Bike Show. In early 2009 Chris
from Cycle Source offered CHC a spot in the Limpnickie
Builders Manual. This enabled them to get their ever expanding product
line into the hands of thousands of potential customers. D.J. and
Jason continued to keep themselves in the spot light earning a 3rd Place win
with the Glory Hole at the Easyrider Bike Show in Columbus in February 2009.
Also, in that same month Jason attended CJ Allen's engraving class, enabling
them to add motorcycle engraving to their scope of services. After the
win at the Easyrider Show, the boys traveled to the Horse Smokeout in North
Carolina in May of 2009. The Smoke Out proved to be a successful
venture when The Dirty Sanchez and The Glory Hole were both picked as 2 of
the 10 winners. At the Smokeout in 2010 they came home with another
win for Bloody Roots. All three bikes were featured as bike show
winners in The Horse Magazine. In early 2010 after much thought and
preparation D.J. and Jason decided it was time to make a step up for the
company and moved into a larger, more convenient location. This proved
to be a great move for the company. They quickly started to build
inventory and expanded their scope of services to better serve the riders of
south central Ohio. As their customer base grew in 2010, they
continued to build bikes and expand their custom parts line. One of
their wildest creations to date came about in late 2010/early 2011 in the
form of an original 60's Triumph chop, this bike took home a win at the
Easyrider show in Columbus. Throughout 2011 Jason and D.J. laid off of
the grueling travel schedule to focus on their families at home and their
local customers at the shop. It was also decide in July of that year
that due to many reasons, CHC would no longer be a part of the Limpnickie
Lot. The future of CHC will be focused on
offering continued service work from oil changes to engine building,
expanding their line of quality custom motorcycle parts, building
one-of-a-kind custom motorcycles and improving the efficiency of their
powder coating processes. With all that has been accomplished in a few
years, there is no doubt that the best is still yet to come............stay
tuned, as the story continues........
