Considered a master of all aspects of the customization process, from engineering to aesthetics, Dave?s bikes are regarded as ?art in motion.?
?Dave Perewitz has created some of the industry?s best customs motorcycles with his signature flame jobs? said Promoter Carrie Repp of R&R Promotions ?This show will give every painter and builder the opportunity to compete with their peers on strictly the quality and aesthetic appeal of their work.?
Awards will be given in a variety of categories, including best pearl, best candy, best use of color, best artwork, best graphics, best in show and Perewitz best flames. The show runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the awards will be announced at 5 p.m.

BUELL TAKES OVERALL WIN AT MOTO-ST ROAD AMERICA 500–First North American Pro Win for 1125R.
Elkhart Lake, Wis. (June 9, 2008) ? The No. 8 Bruce Rossmeyer?s Daytona Racing Buell 1125R ridden by Shawn Higbee and Steve Crevier clinched pole and took the overall and Buell Motorcycle Company SuperSport Twins class wins at the MOTO-ST Road America 500K in Elkhart Lake, Wis. June 7. It was the first major North American professional road racing win for the Buell 1125R.
Unpredictable and rapidly changing weather conditions delayed the start of the originally scheduled 3-hour race by more than an hour and ultimately reduced its length to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Tire choice was a gamble, with the formation of a dry racing line hampered by sporadic light drizzle throughout the race that favored teams that chose intermediate or full-wet Pirellis. But the Buell pulled to the front on Lap 17 of the 36-lap race and pulled away to a 31-second lead over the second place No. 6 Aprilia USA/Lloyd Brothers Motorsports Aprilia Tuono 1000R.
?I don’t have a lot of rain experience at this track,? said Higbee. ?We were a little conservative early and after about 10 laps a dry line started to appear. Then it started drizzling just as I was getting happy with the track and I think that was a defining moment. I backed it down a lot and from then on the race seemed to go our way.?
Canadian Steve Crevier, who joined the Bruce Rossmeyer?s Daytona Racing team at the Road America round, echoed his teammate?s comments about the weather: “It was crazy out there,” the six-time Canadian Superbike champion said. “We thought about going to a slick tire on the final stint, but didn’t want to take the chance in case we got downpour.?
In the BMW Motorcycles GrandSport Twins (GST) class, the No. 70 James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing Buell XB12R sponsored by Harley-Davidson/Buell of Appleton and ridden by Paul James and Jeff Johnson took third place and jumped to the lead in the GST class standings after the first three rounds, taking over the points lead from the No. 7 Ritchie Morris Racing/Hal?s Harley-Davidson/Buell XB12R ridden by Clint Brotz and Dan Bilansky, which retired early with a rear wheel bearing failure. The No. 70 now leads the GST class with 92 points followed by the No. 7 with 88. The James Gang/Hoban Brothers team also earned the Roaring Toyz Best Looking Team award.
?Tire choice was critical,? said Paul James. ?We made the call to switch to DOT tires during our final pit stop, but the Pirelli rain tires the class leaders used appeared to hold up for the whole race distance, and in hindsight those were the better choice. But it?s great to have a solid finish on our home track, and I always knew we had the best-looking team!?

HOLLISTER RALLY COMING UP–The 60th anniversary of the Hollister Rally was the largest one so far. July 6th, 7th and 8th brought more vendors, more bands, more builders and more entertainment than ever before.
Record crowds visited the rally to shop at California?s largest motorcycle marketplace. Friday was the largest in rally history and Saturday was almost twice the normal crowd. Rally week brought in 130,000 people to the sleepy little town of Hollister.
The new layout with the vendors on San Benito St (the Main st) was embraced by law enforcement and the city as well. This move has secured the rally for years to come.
The Baker Builders Square , sponsored by Baker Drivetrain was packed all weekend as fans check out over a dozen of the countries best bike builders and talked about new projects with them.
There were three stages with non-stop entertainment all weekend long. bands, boxing, fashion shows and the Ms. Hollister contest filled the 33 hours of the rally. If that wasn?t enough David Chaves International Trials superstar thrilled the crowds throughout the day in Vendor Village.
Sunday on the main stage there was a special surprise. Hollister dubbed the Birthplace of the American Biker Movement; it is home to some of the original riders of 1947. Six individuals, Peter Lomanto, Jess Bravo, Joe Bravo, Harry Prater, Babe and Johnny Lomanto from 77 to 90 years old gathered at this years Rally to celebrate its benchmark of 60 years. They represent one of the most extraordinary eras in our history. Following WWII there was an explosive energy of living and loving life. They shared stories of the tremendous freedom then? riding the hills, racing across open fields, sleeping under the stars amidst piles of hay.
Hollister Police Chief Jeff Miller recapped by saying ?this was the safest, smoothest and most organized rally to date.? Considering that this was the largest that?s quite a statement.
Horse Power also plans on adding more VIP bike parking for 2008 as it sold out early this year. All proceeds from the bike parking along with the other profits go to local youth programs and non-profits.
Horse Power Promotions pulled this together in six months. Now with 12 months before the 2008 rally Horse Power will be focusing on bringing back racing, hill climbs, concerts and spreading out to surrounding areas and country side. ?The riding is great up here and there is no reason for people to ride all this way and just cruise around the town of Hollister,? stated Seth Doulton of Horse Power Promotions.
The 61st Hollister Rally is July 11th, 12th and 13th 2008. Keep an eye on www.horsepowerpromotions.com as we announce more events for 2008.
AFFILIATE EVENT–FLYING CHOPPERS IS NEW SCANDINAVIAN CHAMPION– Flying Choppers from Finland have won a bike freight expenses contribution to compete at this summer’s 5th annual Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building (OWC) by winning this weekend’s (June 7) Custom Bike Show, Norrtelje, Sweden.
Organized by Twin Club MC, Custom Bike Show is the OWC program’s Scandinavian Championship of Custom Bike Building, and is believed to be the oldest established custom motorcycle competition in the world.Hugely prestigious in a European context, the event pulls competitors from all over Scandinavia and the rest of Europe and is a one-day ride-in show staged in a downtown City Park in a model of community collaboration with the City authorities.
As ever, the standard of the event reflected the tastes and styles of custom design and engineering in that part of the world. This was the fourth year that the event had been an Official Affiliate, and the winner’s prize (given by Twin Club MC) is worth some 5,000 euro (nearly US $8,000) with additional prizes of some 3,000 euro (approx US$4,700) each for second and third-placed winners to compete at the annual Official European Championship.
This year saw Peder Johanssen of Hogtech (Sweden) take second place with the bike that he has built for the S&S Cycle 50th Anniversary celebration at La Crosse, Wi., at the end of the month. Peder will then be keeping the bike in the Unites States to also compete at the OWC.
For the first time, though, two bikes tied for third place, and the builders will share the prize. Swede Lasse Sundberg scored with his 40 inch over, Redneck-framed chopper that featured twin dual updraft carbs on an Indian Power Plus engine. He tied with Anders Goeth’s very tidy ‘Speed Bob’ bobber, which all points to the incredible diversity that this show produces and that the OWC Affiliate program promotes.
The event itself drew excellent crowds on what is the National holiday weekend in Sweden, and saw outstanding weather and excellent support from several Europe-wide parts and accessory distributors, including Custom Chrome Europe, Motorcycle Storehouse, MotoSpeed of Sweden, and Redneck Engineering’s Sweden-based European operation.The Affiliate program’s next stop is the Faro Rally in Portugal on July 17-20 (see www.motoclubefaro.pt for more details).
