2011 Roland Sands Design Grand Opening

Monday, May 23, 2011
It was a festive Friday evening at Roland Sands Design new headquarters in Los Alamitos, California. The RSD crew hosted a grand opening party to show off its new combined design house and retail store. An endless supply of tacos, ice cold beer and designer Peligroso Tequila margaritas kept everyone happy and live music from the local band Signal Hillbillies created a rockabilly vibe. The exclusive party celebrated the new RSD apparel line and showcased the new RSD location. The shop will be the new headquarters for RSD that will allow Roland Sands to expand his unique style, prototype motorcycle manufacturing and customer bike fabrication. Check out the highlights from the party.
Rolands desk itself was a work of art and had one of his café racer project bikes displayed on top.
