Dreamcraft Studios to World Premier new all-billet machined cutom bike at 2005 LA Calendar Bike Show
Los Angeles, March 1 2005 - What do you get when you combine a race car engineer with a hot young graduate from the world famous Pasadena Art Center College of Design, school for world's best motorsports designers, who have never built a motorcycle before? At our 2004 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show it was the World Premier of "Sega" - the exciting and futuristic chopper unlike anything the motorcycle industry has ever seen from their new partnership Dreamcraft Studios.

The Dreamcraft Sega was a first ever effort between race car engineer Larry Nagel and Art Center grad Paul Young and cost and estimated $1/4 million dollars. The Sega is pictured above with Tanea Brooks who performs with the all-girl performance group The Purrfect Angelz at our LA Calendar Motorcycle Show. Tanea and Sega were photographed by Jim Gianatsis and are featured in the 2006 Iron & Lace Calendar.

Sega set the bike building world on its head for originality. But now, Larry tells us ".... you haven't seen anything yet!" He and Paul are currently hard at work on their next 2-wheel design masterpiece, an almost pure billet machined bike. That includes the chassis/ frame which is being fully computer machined from a solid chunk of aluminum alloy billet on ahuge CNC machine. Nothing like it has ever been done before because of the design complexity, computer programing requirements and cost, and probably nothing will again for a very long time.

The all new Dreamcreft billet Bike will make it's world premier at the 2005 Los Angeles calendar Motorcycle Show on July 16-17th. You won't wan't to misss it! For a glimpse of the Dreamcraft billet bike in the making go to DreamcraftStudios.com.
