"We have been a strong supporter and friends with publisher Robin Bradley and his American Motorcycle Dealer magazine since he first began publishing it some 10 years ago. For our own advertising clients like Mikuni American and STD Performance, Robin's AMD magazine is the most effective, affordable and attractive way of reaching dealers and distributors world-wide in the American V-Twin market.

Our affiliation as a Qualifying Round for AMD Pro Show's World Championship of Custom Bike Building sponsored by Custom Chrome is a natural pairing. It brings together our LA Calendar Show, America's premier custom and performance consumer street motorcycle event with its key industry manufacturers and retailiers exhibiting their products here to the public, our international media attention from all the world's top motorcycle magazines and TV shows, along with many of the world's top custom bike builders showcasing their hottest newest machinery here,now joining together with AMD's recently established World Championship of Custom Bike Building which will is poised to become the crown jewel in the professional bike building world.

The first public appearance of the radical new Dreamcraft Studios DSC-002 Rapture with its 1-piece billet machined aluminum frame. A complete departue from their DCS-001 Sega which premiered with us last year, the Rapture's inspiration came from a 'war machines of the future' theme which the bike's agressive stance stunningly represnts.

Exclusive Dreamcraft Studios World Premier of new billet
machined Rapture at 2005 LA Calendar Bike Show
Los Angeles, May 1st 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 Designwho have never built a motorcycle before? Our 2004 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show was the World Premier of "Sega" - an exciting and futuristic chopper from their new partnership Dreamcraft Studios unlike anything seen before.

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. We went on to photograph Sega with Tanea Brooks who performs with the all-girl performance group The Purrfect Angelz at our LA Calendar Motorcycle Show and they 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 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 Dreamcraft Rapture 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 more Dreamcraft go to DreamcraftStudios.com.
