About Bobz

Bobz Bikez is a veteran-owned shop in Taneyville, Missouri, working on Harleys, imports, and sport bikes by appointment.

Robert "Bob" Matlage bought his first motorcycle at 15 years old. It was a 1987 Kawasaki 750 LTD with the old banana seat. That day started his obsession with motorcycles that has spanned 21 years. From Aprilia italian sport bikes, to Ninjas, to Yamaha FJR sport tourings, to Triumphs, to Harley baggers, he has ridden just about every type of motorcycle out there. As life has slowed down, he has settled with an old EVO road king. His attention to detail and methodical approach to maintenance stems from an 8-year career in Army Aviation where he crewed and maintained $50 million CH-47 Chinook phases(tear downs, inspections/parts replacements, rebuilds). The same processes and maintenance practices learned in Aviation maintenance have carried forward in his everyday work. When you leave him your bike, you can rest assured he will take care of it just as his own.

Every job starts with an inspection and a quote for exactly what the bike needs, nothing added, nothing changed without a phone call first.
