Hot Bike presents the White Brothers Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show
2-Day Weekend Streetbike Extravaganza set for July 20-21 at the Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach
The Show features all-weekend entertainment with live music by two incredible bands, Powder and Soto, the most competitive bike contest on the West Coast with its prestigious Hot Bike magazine Best of Show Trophy, and a Bikernet.com party on Saturday night aboard the Queen Mary with a huge fireworks display. Other activities include The White Brothers West Coast Horsepower Dyno Shootout, a FastDates.com Calendar Girl Pageant, and of course the premier of the 2003 FastDates.com Calendars with the beautiful calendar models in attendance. Together with over 125 major motorcycle and related product manufacturers, distributors and select retail vendors involved in the street bike market. Event hosts include the legendary Keith Ball, a.k.a. Bandit, and the lovely Brenda Fox.
?Our change to the two-day format last year was a necessity and a huge success as the Calendar Bike Show continues to grow every year,? explained event producer Jim Gianatsis of Gianatsis Design, a motorsports advertising design agency which also produces the popular FastDates.com Motorcycle Pinup Calendars. ?Motorcycle enthusiasts love our show because of its quality and excitement, all the top custom and race bikes, beautiful models, and the fact it has been the only outdoor bike event in Los Angeles County, now located on the ocean?s edge at the beautiful Queen Mary Park.?
The expanded show not only gives fans more time to enjoy it, but it provides real value. When most admission prices at sporting events, race tracks and outdoor amusement parks cost $40 – $50 per day, our Bike Show?s low one-day admission price is just $15 ($20 for both days) and includes free admission to the Queen Mary (a $15 admission to tourists).
With all the additional attractions that Long Beach has to offers including the ferry boat to Catalina Island with a day?s activities there, the Aquarium, the downtown restaurants and clubs, plus what greater Los Angeles has to offer, the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show is a must do attraction for across-the-country visitors and it will continue to grow as a major motorcycle week destination like Laughlin, Daytona and Sturgis.?

SCREAMIN? EAGLE NHRA PRO STOCK DRAG RACING TEAM DEBUTS IN GAINESVILLE
Expectations Remain High Even Though Team Doesn?t Qualify for Main Event
MILWAUKEE, WIS. – (March 18, 2002) The Screamin? Eagle/Vance & Hines National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock Bike drag racing team made its debut at the NHRA Mac Tools Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida this past weekend. Although the team didn?t make the show on Sunday, their expectations remain high they will become the first V-Twin in a full field of 16 to qualify for a Pro Stock Bike event and become competitive in the series.
?We knew going into the weekend we were not where we wanted to be with the new program. Doing final testing and tuning at the track was very risky business, but we also knew we would learn valuable information under actual race conditions,? said Mike Kennedy, director of marketing Harley-Davidson Parts and Accessories. ?While we didn?t accomplish the first part of our mission by not qualifying, we did learn a lot and got fantastic fan reaction and support in Gainesville.?
On Friday, the Screamin? Eagle/Vance & Hines team ran quarter-mile elapsed times (E.T.s) of 7.704 and 7.687 seconds. Saturday morning?s run dropped to an encouraging 7.572 but the team ended the afternoon session with a 7.691. The bump time for Sunday?s show was 7.396.
?Unfortunately, we put ourselves in a tough position, as we haven?t totally fine-tuned this V-Twin package. The good news is we are producing plenty of power, we just need to spend some more time testing and convert this power to much better times on the track,? said team engine builder Byron Hines.
The other good news coming out of the weekend came from rider GT Tonglet, who produced great reaction times (R.T.s) throughout qualifying, and was pleased with the potential of his new ride and the support of Harley-Davidson fans. ?The new Screamin? Eagle V-Rod is a blast to run and I?m happy with our progress,? said Tonglet. ?The fans in Gainesville were great. They were excited we were out there and let us know in the pits and from the stands.?
?Moving forward, the combination of resources we have on this program could not be better,? said Kennedy. ?Vance and Hines has an unmatched record in NHRA Pro Stock Bike. This team will figure it out and get us in the show.?
Craig Treble won the Gatornationals Pro Stock Bike final aboard his Matco Tools Suzuki with a .429 R.T. and a 7.248 E.T. at 184.17 MPH.
Screamin? Eagle Performance Parts are inspired by and built in the spirit of the raw adrenaline and power of motorcycle racing, offering both racing-grade and street-legal performance options for the Harley-Davidson motorcycle owner. Visit www.harley-davidson.com for more information.
