Canadian
Roger Goldammer wins 1st Official World Championship
of Custom Bike Building
with a radical retro boardtrack
racer
Morgan
Hill, California, October 9th 2004
-The first annual Official World Championship of Custom Bike
Building has been won by Roger Goldammer of
British Colombia, Canada, who is currently featured in the FastDates.com
2004 Iron & Lace
Calendar. The noted parts engineer and motorcycle craftsman
demonstrated a level of attention to detail and dedication to
excellence that had judges, fellow competitors and event visitors
alike drooling over his exquisite homage to boardtrack racers
of old.
Goldammer
carried off the cut-glass trophy, diamond-and-sapphire Championship
ring, and $25,000 cash top prize in the freestyle
class of the World Championship by the narrowest of margins.
The independent panel of judges drawn from the US and European
motorcycle Press placed Jesse Jurrens and Michael Prugh of Independent
Cycle, Rapid City, South Dakota second, with Belgian builder
Fred 'Krugger' Bertrand third.
The contest,
widely described by competitors and judges alike as the highest
standard custom bike competition any of them had ever seen,
attracted 64 entries in total, across three classes, with 47
of them in the prestigious Freestyle class from which the World
Champion was chosen.
The number
of entries far exceeded the organisers' expectations and featured
an extraordinary variety of custom bike design styles and motorcycle
engineering innovations. Superb choppers were on show, but far
from dominating the competition, the event demonstrated and
reflected the glorious individualism and multiple strands of
custom motorcycle engineering that have resulted in the sector
achieving unprecedented levels of public exposure and popularity
worldwide in recent years.
As befitting
the name and ambition of the contest, the top ten Freestyle
entries reflected the truly international nature of the custom
V-twin industry, with five Americans, two Germans, a Canadian,
a Belgian and a Frenchman taking the top spots. The American
Motorcycle Dealer magagine produced ProShow competition which
constitutes the Official World Championship was presented and
generously supported by Global Motorsports Group custom V-twin
sector parts distributor Custom Chrome at its 18th annual Dealer
Show at Morgan Hill, California.

Dreamcraft Studios Chopper 001
What
do you get when you combine a race car engineer with a hot young
graduate from the Art Center College of Design who have never
built a motorcycle before? You get is a fresh, exciting, and futuristic
chopper unlike anything the motorcycle industry has ever seen
before.
Convention
is thrown aside with the fuel for the full stock Harley Twin-Cam
engine hidden in a flowing backbone frame reminiscent of the creature
in 'Alien". The projector headlights with their extended
eyeshades have the piercing look of a futuristic android. The
exhaust system is a twist of snakes converging in a strange bulging
collector with 4 red hot outlets.
Also extraordinary
is the race car inspired chopper looking front suspension which
uses lever arms acting on exotic externally adjustable racing
air shocks to provide "correct" suspension movement
with wheel travel perpendicular to the road. Whereas conventional
motorcycle forks which are extended at a severe axle for the correct
chopper look, will bind up and more 'suspension" is provided
by the flexing of the fork legs rather than the actual compressing
of the forks.
The Dreamcraft
Chopper, a first ever effort between race car engineer Larry
Nagel and Art Center grad Paul Young,
had it's industry world premier at the 2004 Los Angeles Calendar
Motorcycle Show. With the time it took them both to desing and
build Chopper 001 from scratch, its estimated cost is around $1/4
million dollars.
Sounds expensive?
Naw. On just their first day dispalying the bike at the LA Calendar
Show the team received blank check commissions from an extreamely
wealthy collector for them to build two new bikes even wilder
than old Number 001 here. We can hardly wait to see Numbers 002
and 003. And neither can Tanea.

for the next FastDates.com Iron

the 2004 Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show.
The sexy brunette beauty vamping herself all over the bike
is Tanea Brooks, a professional model and
dancer, and member of the Purrfect Angelz all-girl burlesque
show troupe which had also performed at our Bike
Show where Jim first met her. Needlsas to say, Tanea was
our purrfect Ridley to tame this wild Alien. To see more of
