DRUID IS A HOAX? MOTORCYCLE JOURNALISM IS A HOAX.
Druid is not a job, it's a Cult.
Founded by three friends who couldn't get enough of motorcycles, or each other, Druid was not so much a business opportunity as a new way of life. Entrepreneur Walter G Schellenburger and Silvia Chu, an ex-model and former runner-up pageant winner, met genius self-taught aerospace engineer Milan Svoboda at a motorcycle rally in 2012.
Things just sort of went from there.
Svoboda, a Slovak army veteran and former beekeeper, emigrated to California to continue his gourd breaking work on variable-geometry aircraft when he hit on the idea of combining his structural concept with his passion for motorcycles. "I was working with bees and [they were] stinging me." recalled Milan. "It hurt a lot so I sat on my motorbike and looked down. It was so obvious. The bee was my inspirations."
Meanwhile, after twenty years as an engineer and serial entrepreneur, Walter was talking about his search for the Next Big Thing his good friend Milan on his motorcycle. "He was on a highly modified two-stroke street bike." recalls Walter. "Some kind of East German or Czech thing. It was really stretched out and cool looking. Milan was doing things to those bikes that defied the laws of physics."
"When we talked to him, we immediately understood he was next level genius." says Silvia, who had wrapped up a gig as the second assistant to a movie set designer. "Walter and I worked out a business plan in like, 2 days, and pitched it to Milan. We were totally hooked on him!"
Druid Motorcycle Company International was created to address the needs of twenty-first century motorcyclists who are not getting the level of adaptability, personalization and range of experiences that conventional motorcycle brands offer. Using the revolutionary Prophet™ platform and a company culture that is more like working for a cult than at a manufacturing/technology startup, Druid attracts talent and makes paradigm shifting, new century motorcycles a reality.

LET'S GET REAL
Druid is a motorcycle company in press release only, but we care about the world. Druid is powered by a good natured sense of humor and deep appreciation of cliche. Druid was born as a result of watching standards fall and hoping a little harmless levity might cause a some careful consideration going forward.
Druid is powered by press releases and a profound sadness caused by the staggering depths to which journalism has sunken. Thank you for actually reading this far. Hope it made you giggle a little bit. Ride safe. And be kind to bees.
Druid is ... entertainment.
