FastDates.com does the Motorcycle Charity Association's annual
Hollywood Charity Ride & Leather Meets Playboy Mansion Lace Party
By Jim Gianatsis

Saturday October 4th - FastDates.com is a sponsor of the Motorcycle Charity Association, providing the organization adverting exposure on the FastDates.com Calendar Website and exhibitor and sponsor presence at the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend. The organization's premier annual event is the Leather Meets Lace Charity Event, held this year on Saturday October 4th. Calendar photographer and publisher Jim Gianatsis was joined for the day by Calendar sponsor Mikuni American's Lee Chapin, V.P. of Carburetor Sales as we felt theneed to give you a first had report of the industry's most exciting charity event.

Participants onthe Saturday morning Charity Ride line their bes up on Hollywod Bouevard in front of the Kodak Theatre, home of the American Idol Finale. Check outthe retro LAPD police escort!

The day kicked off with the 2nd annual Hollywood Charity Ride starting at the Kodak Theatre next to famed Grumman's Chinese Theatre on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood, California. Motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world and celebrities came together for a ride down Hollywood Boulevard and through Beverly Hills, to the Pacific Ocean and up to Malibu for Lunch.

After we were done with our photos, we let Hef take his best shot at entertaining the body paint girls.

Later that evening we arrived at the Playboy Mansion for a night of partying at Leather Meets Lace with 5-star dining and an open bar on the Mansion's expansive back yard next to the famed Playboy Swimming Pool and Grotto. Charity Tickets for the night ranged in price from $1,000 for General Admission, to $5,000 for your own private table staffed with Playmates. Holding court at the party of course, was Playboy founder and house resident Hugh Heffner with his live-in "The Girls Next Door". also joining us were assorted Playboy Playmates and Bunnies, about a dozen nude body painted girls, the Perfect Angeles from our LA Calendar Motorcycle Show performing their sexy dance show, and celebrities including Carmen Electra, Jean Simmons, and top custom bike builders.

The most amazing thing of the night were the nude body painted girls who actually look, from a distance, like they were clothed in swimsuits and lingerie. It was until you got right next to them and saw their private areas up close, that you realized they were fully naked with just glued on ribbons and fur to add a 3-D effect to the painted-on clothes. It was amazing they could walk around all night among hundreds of people, feeling perfectly comfortable being naked.

All in all, it was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience to party at the Playboy Mansion, hang with Hef, get drunk with lots of beautiful naked girls, Playmates, and your motorcycle buddies. I think we'll have to look at doing a FastDates.com Calendar Charity event real soon.

With It's Own Barely Legal Medical Attention Standing by...
The Heart Attack Grill, Phoenix, Arizona

Chandler, AZ, Dec 1st - There's nothing closer to a biker's heart than the three Bs - Bikes, Burgers and Babes, with a guy's order of preference depending on what's sandwiched between his legs, lips or hands at the time. If you happen to be riding your bike through Phoenix, Arizona you've now got the three Bs in just one stop!

The Heart Attack Grill® is a hospital themed restaurant in the Phoenix suburb Chandler, which has become internationally famous for embracing and promoting an unhealthy diet of incredibly large hamburgers. Customers are referred to as "patients," orders as "prescriptions," and the waitresses as "nurses."

The menu includes the Single Bypass Burger®, Double Bypass Burger®, Triple Bypass Burger®, and the Quadruple Bypass Burger®, ranging from half a pound to two pounds of beef. Also on the menu are "Flatliner Fries" (cooked in pure lard), no filter cigarettes, hard liquor, beer, and full sugar coke.

The menu names imply coronary artery bypass surgery, and refer to the danger of developing atherosclerosis from the food's high proportion of saturated fat and excessive caloric content. The Quadruple Bypass Burger has been quoted at around 8,000 calories!

One the restaurants most celebrated (and widely publicized) gimmicks is the free wheelchair service provided to those "patients" who successfully finish the Triple or Quadruple Bypass Burger. Amidst a flurry of photography from tourist bystanders the "patients" are pushed in a wheelchair out to their cars by the nurse of their choice.

Founded in December of 2005 by Dr. Jon, a non AMA recognized physician. He has been glorified as the freedom fighting arch enemy of political correctness by some, and demonized as a charlatan "nutritional pornographer" by others, Dr. Jon can be found each day, at the griddle, actually flipping hamburgers in his white doctor's lab coat and stethoscope.

The restaurant has found itself in a continual state of self defense against various activist groups and branches of state government. Most notable was a very public threat closure from the Arizona Attorney General's in late 2006. The controversy hit a crescendo when Dr. Jon was arrested after having attempted to open a live fire hose on a group of picketing nurses. Rush Limbaugh, Geraldo Rivera, and major networks from over sixty countries went live with the story, in a non-stop media frenzy that lasted for months on end.

A compromise was finally reached when Dr. Jon put a disclaimer on his website stating, "The use of the word 'nurse' above is only intended as a parody. None of the women pictured on our website actually have any medical training, nor do they attempt to provide any real medical services. It should be made clear that the Heart Attack Grill and all its employees do not offer any therapeutic treatments".

Despite the obvious animosity between the Heart Attack Grill, and various Nursing Associations, Dr. Jon has always taken time in each and every television interview to point out that we are absolutely in the midst of a severe global nurse shortage. "It's a real crisis!" says Dr. Jon, "Each one of us has a duty to help. I view my part is to draw attention to the problem by playing the role of the villain".

One may question whether Dr. Jon's kind words are sincere, considering the underlying motive that everyone can plainly see... money! No matter which side of the debate the general public finds itself, one thing is certain, upon visiting Arizona they all seem to make the pilgrimage for a burger and fries at what is perhaps the worlds most politically incorrect restaurant!

The future of the restaurant, according to Dr. Jon, lies in its ability to successfully transition into a diet center. With sights set firmly upon competing head to head with established weight loss giants such as Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, and Weight Watchers, he pays little attention to nay saying critics.

According to Dr. Jon, "The new Heart Attack Grill Diet Centers will offer the American public something that no other program has ever been able to do... a diet program that you actually enjoy and can stick with for a lifetime!" He did though conveniently fail to mention just how long the "lifetime" of the clients might be.

Dr. Jon's most recent fitness book, the Heart Attack Grill Diet, which teaches readers how to "Eat, Drink, and Smoke their way to Better Health", has not been well received due to its actual advocating of cigarettes, hard liquor, and fornication with girls of a barely legal age.

The Heart Attack Grill, located in the Phoenix Metro area at 6185 W Chandler Blvd. in Chandler, Arizona.

Martell, CA. Sept 1st, 2008 – Powersports Modeling Agency, a division of AFT Customs, has announced it has begun building an all-new custom metric V-Twin for the 2009 bike show circuit season. This new motorcycle, code named “LowLa”, will be built by select AFT Customs Girls from the Powersports Model Agency, with the models working under the guidance of AFT Customs owner and designer Jim Giuffra. This new metric custom bike will be constructed fully by the AFT Girls to showcase their building skills, an prove that custom bike building is not just for men, while also helping to increase the models' knowledge of motorcycles, building techniques and the industry as a whole. Jim Giuffra / AFT Customs, who this year received the Best of Show at the 2008 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show, and Metric Class winner at the 2005 and 2008 AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building, will be overseeing the design and construction of the project motorcycle which will be built in full by the AFT Girls.

"The bike will be built by all the girls, but it will be my daily ride when it is done and has completed next summer's show tour at major motorccyle events", explained beautiful and skilled Sukhee, one of the Powersports Modeling Agency's newest models. “Building this bike from the ground up will dramatically increase our knowledge of motorcycles and their components, which will help to make us more valuable to clients who hire Powersports Modeling Agency models to represent their products at motorsport shows and events.

The "LoLa" bike project has already begun initial sponsor confirmation, design and component delivery, and will make it's world premier at the 2009 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend July 18-19th, where its construction by models will compliment the "pinup model theme" of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend. From there the bike will continue on to Sturgis Bike Week where AFT Customs will defend its Metric title at he AMD World Championship.

The LA Calendar Show Weekend is held at the Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach, California and is renown as America's premier custom, cruiser, performance and sportbike weekend. The show boasts over 250 major motorcycle and parts manufacturers and features many of the World's top Pro and Amateur street bike builders competing in the Calendar Bike Building Championship for a purse of $86,000 in cash and prize awards. The Show features many exclusive activities including the S&S Cycle World Record Dyno Horsepower Shoot, Calendar Bike Building Seminars, the 2-day Calendar Girl Music Festival and the annual World Premier of the new FastDates.com Motorcycle PinUp Calendars with the beautiful Calendar Kittens.

At this year's 2008 Calendar Bike Show, Jim Guiffra / AFT Customs walked away with the Performance Machine Best of Show award with “Er-Hed”, a special construction monoshock custom powered by a Yamaha Royal Star V-Twin engine. Then the day after the Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend, Giuffra and the Show's other class winners were invited to attended a photo shoot with Jim Gianatsis at the Gianatsis Design Studios to have their bikes photographed for the next 2010 FastDates.com Calendars which will premier at the 2009 Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend.

“This year AFT Customs took home the Best of Show award and I am looking forward to having Jim Giuffra, an incredibly talent builder, and his team of beautiful models / mechanics back in 2009,” said Jim Gianatsis, LA Calendar Show producer. “Having the next radical new AFT Customs bike scheduled to be unveiled at our next Show only reinforces how important our event is in the streetbike world, and highlights the important media coverage we garner for our bike builders, exhibitors and sponsors.
