Vegas Stripped: Welder ‘Titanium’ Tim builds his own rides — VIDEO
“Titanium” Tim Welch lost his leg in the 1990s to an infection after breaking it racing motorcycles in Florida. But that hasn’t stopped him from driving motorcycles and scooters alike.
And not just driving, but revamping and tinkering to make custom bikes that no one else has.
After he lost his leg, he tried boxing to help with the recovery only to earn the name “Titanium” Tim Welch and spar with professionals Dan Sheehan super middleweight Mike Colbert.
He now works as a welder in North Las Vegas, constantly buys and redesigns motorcycles and scooters and almost never drives a car.
