History of Daniele
Daniele Cester
Born In Colleferro Roma 1974
From the beginning I have had that passion for cars, motorcycles and all things that run on engines. Thanks to my grandfathers, Cester Bortolo and Sordi Angelo, one being a master mechanics and the other a master welding/builder, I had opportunity to discover this amazing world. Since I was 10 years old I started building right away from my bicycle to my little motorized scooters like Vespa Lambretta. I was hooked and of course I drove them everyday. When I was 14 years old, I started to follow racing thanks to friends and relatives, back and forth In our country of Italia, this is one of the best places in the world for racing because of the amazing tracks and like-minded people with incredible skills . I started my racing the motorcycle world and after that I moved to cars .
Outside of attending university, my friends and I would spend time at my garage “The Atelier “ These are some of the best memories I have. When I turned 17 years old I completed my first official experience into motorcycle racing with very little help I had to take care the bikes and keep them clean. When I was 18 I started building my first real projects for motorcycles and cars , I also started to assist
friends and customers and help them get into racing. This is where I would start meeting other established master mechanics and they were the ones that would give me inside suggestions and industry secrets.
In Italy we have some of the best mechanics in the world . At this point everything in my life is fast, experiences, work, and racing.
2001
2018
In 2001 I opened my first shop in my home town “DMC Garage” and after couples years I moved my shop to Roma and named it “SPQR Custom and Performance.” I was fortunate enough to work in Roma with my shop for 11 Years and at the end of 2013 thanks a terrible economy I was ready to explore Other Job opportunities .
In 2017, I moved my family to Grand Junction Colorado in the United States, and after that I started to looking around to understand where I would be the most useful in the Grand Junction economy. Later in 2018, thanks to Mr. Vincenzo Favale my business partner, I found the courage to start this adventure of Daniele’s Garage.
I get to actually follow the American dream and I try everyday to build the best future for my two kids. I really love this town and this Country, there is a lot of opportunities and if you work hard, you can have a great success .
