Owner and operator Ronnie Ray is a native son of Pickens County. He has been in business for twenty five years here.
Ronnie began in the auto body repair industry in the seventies. He opened R&R Body Shop in January, 1982. As a related business, he formed R&R Wrecker Service. In recent years he has been involved in the carwash and storage business. He also owns and manages several commercial rental properties.
In mid 2003 Ronnie was diagnosed with a serious and debilitating disease called Wegener’s Granulomatosis. It slowly destroyed his kidneys.
Ronnie was blessed with a second chance at life when a kidney transplant was performed in March of 2005. Since his recovery his health has been great!
Ronnie has always loved and owned motorcycles. For many years he has been involved with local motorcycle clubs such as the Cherokee Cruisers and the GWRRA. He was a charter member of the Chapter R in Pickens County.
Most of his time now is spent building and riding the motorcycles in the shop.
He began building trikes in the basement of his home. He and Roy Lee Hendrix filled the basement with these rather large machines. It was decided at that point (mostly by his wife) that a permanent shop was needed. R&R Trikes and Bikes was born. The site was selected and the new shop opened its’ doors Memorial Day weekend. It was decided that the Drag Specialties line would also be added. The rest, as they say, is history.
