Andra Cobb makes it a difficult decission on which we like best. Formerly working at Zero Engineering in Japan, Shinya now has his own compant in Azusa, CA, called ChabottEngineering.com
This also marks the first year the photographer Jim Gianatsis has shot the calendar in digital format instead of film. To assure that picture quality remained on par to the quality of our legendary Hasslebald 2.25in. (the Rolls Royce of professional cameras and lenses), we waited until Hasslebald introduced its own digital camera using Hassleblad's high quality lenses. Our new $25,000 Hasslebald HP2 Digital is tethered to a portable hard drive and shoots huge high resolution 80MB image files.
With the world's top roadracing bikes and with some of the world's most beautiful models, the 2007 Fast Dates Calendar is guaranted to be an instant collector's item and we expect an eary sellout. If you are a fan you need to buy your copy early. We hope you enjoy having it hang on your wall as much as we enjoyed a great race weeked at Brands Hatch to shoot. We enjoyed it so much, infact, we'll be backat Brands Hatch this August 2006 to shoot again for next year's calendar. Enjoy!

PREVIEW: July 15-16th 2006 Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show
FastDates.com Calendar builders Jesse Rooke, Roland Sands and
Playboy Playmate Tamara Witmer Ready for July 15-16th Calendar Show
Los Angeles CA, June 26th - Famed FastDates.com Calendar Builders Jesse Rooke and Roland Sands are just two among dozens of America's premier custom motorcycle builders, along with Playboy Playmate (August 2005) Tamara Witmer who will in attendance at the July 15-16th LA Calendar Motorcycle Show at the Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach. Both Jesse (Jesse Rooke Customs, Huntington Beach, CA) and Roland (Roland Sands Designs / Performance Machine) will use the Calendar Show as the first public showing of their radical new sport V-twin bikes built in a special challenge for the TV program Biker Build Off. For beautiful Tamara the Calendar Show will mark her first appearance as a 2007 FastDates.cm Calendar Kitten with her pictures featured in the new 2007 Calendars which will also premier at the Calendar Show.
Just this past week Jesse, Roland and Tamara joined FastDates.com Calendar photographer Jim Gianatsis at a top secret government facility in Southern California to shoot their new bikes for the next editions of the Fast Dates Race Bike and Iron & Lace Custom Bike Pinup Calendars. Both Jesse and Roland proved to be exceeding helpful throughout the shoot in assisting Tamara with her intricate costume changes, difficult posing positions on the bikes, and in remembering phone numbers.
 Roland Sands helps Playboy Playmate and Calendar Kitten Tamara Witmer lace up her boots as we shoot Roland's Biker Build Off winning V-twin powered sportbike. Tamara's hair looks like she's been ridden hard in this photo, but at least she never rides without protection.
Former AMA 250cc GP Class Champion-Turned Master Builder Roland Sands was currently in England as this release was being issued, running this Sportster V-twin powered naked sportbike at the legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed. The fully Ohlins race suspended and Performance Machine wheels and racing brake equipped bike won the Biker Build Off competition which was decided on the track at Willow Springs Raceway, with the TV program scheduled for broadcast this coming August. Roland plans to put this chassis kit into production so anyone can have a Fast Date.
Roland's next project bike is rumored to be powered by a Kenny Roberts KR MotoGP engine, and without too many more distractions, he hopes to have it completed in time to premier at the Calendar Show or the US MotoGP the following weekend at Laguna Seca.
Meanwhile, Jesse isn't sitting idle, either, with this very sexy KTM 950cc V-Twin retro board tracer road racer. The 3-time LA Calendar Motorcycle Show winner is hard at work on another potential winner to be unveiled at this year's Calendar Show. All that Jesse will tell us is that it's really different (like all his bikes) and it has a single cylinder engine (Possibly on the heels of Roger Goldammer's AMD World Championship winning retro single cylinder supercharged board track racer?).
Either way, we can't wait to see, and you don't want to miss either what Jesse, Roland and other past LA Calendar Show winners like Shinya Kimura, Dreamcraft Studios, Wicked Brothers and other top name builders who will be unveiling their unveil their latest wheeled masterpieces at this year's Show. Nor do you want to miss meeting Calendar Kittens and Playboy Playmates Tamara Witmer, Athena, and Cora Skinner and the world premier of the new 2007 FastDates.com Calendars.
