Roland Sands place 9th in the Pro Bulder category with his retro board track racer powered by a Kenny Roberts donated KR V-5 990cc MotGP engine that puts our around 220hp. And our own Jesse Rooke, 3-time winner at our LA Calednar motorcycle Show, took home 1st Place in the Metric Custom class with his cool boardtrack replic powered by a 950cc KTM V-Twin motor. Jesse was really inovative and how her routed the top of the frame around the engine's downdraft fuel injestion, and located the curved radiator in front of the real wheel. Needless to say, we've already photographed both bikes and you can expect to see them in our next, 2008 FastDates.com calendars. And right now with detailed pictorials in the Iron & Lace Garage.

Calendar Motorcycle Show Again Blows the Lid Off Long Beach
The Queen Mary, Long Beach, CA July 15-16th, 2006 - The 15th annual Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend presented by Performance Machine and produced by Jim Gianatsis of Giantsis Design Associates held annually every 3rd weekend in July at the Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach / Los Angeles continued to kick out all the stops again this year despite the long summer heat wave and the current attendance slump at most other motorcycle events to uphold the Calendar Shows' well earn reputation as the biggest and most exciting Custom and Performance Street Motorcycle Show in America
Taking home top honors this year for Best of Show was 60 year old Russ Hess from Jacksboro, TX, who returned to custom bike building after taking a 21 year sabbatical. Back in the late 1960's and early '70's Russ had many of his custom built bikes and street rods grace the covers and center spreads of Street Chopper, Hot Rod and Rod & Custom magazines. Russ said he chose the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show, America's premier bike building contest to gauge just how good his first bike "Art Attack" from his new shop Cowboy Custom Bikes in Jacksboro, Texas would stack up against other top builders from across the country.
