Roland is from Long Beach, California. He began his life with the upbringing and diverse experience in the motorcycle industry. His first motorcycle was a RM 50 dirt bike, given to him on his 5th birthday, to which, after just minutes of riding, he broke a bone, but fell in love with it anyway. His love of speed on two wheels took him to the professional racing ranks for 10 years. He set multiple track records around the world and was the 1998 American Motorcyclist Association 250GP champion. However, 32 broken bones later, Roland decided to trade in his racing leathers for hammer, pencil and a computer designing and building motorcycles and custom motorcycle products. In 2005, Sands founded Roland Sands Design. Sands designs are a mixture of sport bike and chopper influences and he has played a pivotal role in popularizing high-performance custom bikes to the masses. Roland and his designs (motorcycles and products) have earned many awards throughout the years, including three V-Twin Wheel Design of the year, V-Twin Control Design, Chip Foose Design of Excellence Award in Sturgis, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place in Modified Harley class at the World Championship of Custom Bike Building, V-Twin Award Trendsetter of the Year, Biker Build-Off Champion on the Discovery Channel, Biker Build-Off Rookie of the year and 2Wheel Tuner Brappy Award.
