S&S TO SPONSOR AUSTRALIA 'S BIKER BUILD OFF COMPETITION-- BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA
(Sept. 6th, 2005) S&S Cycle is pleased to sponsor the Australian S&S 124
Challenge Biker Build Off. Five custom builders from Australia will be chosen to
take part in this event - a first for the Australian market. All five bikes will
be built around the S&S 124" engine and will comply with the rules for the S&S
124 Challenge racing class. Negotiations are currently in place to cover this
event with a major television network for Australia , with possible distribution
world-wide.
The bikes will be debuted at Bikefest, a major Australian all motorcycle drag
race meeting, at Western Sydney International Drag Strip on Saturday April 15,
2006. Part of the judging criteria, along with the physical appearance of these
custom bikes, will include racing results. While these bikes will be stunning,
creative, custom bikes, they will also be high performance machines capable of
competing at very high levels. Following the competition phase, all five
motorcycles will be seen at various locations, to be announced, along a specific
tour covering the major metropolitan areas across Australia .
East Coast Custom, a major Australian distributor for Proven Performance S&S
products, will be responsible for supplying the S&S engines and components for
each of the builders. "ECC has been very pleased to host Brett Smith and Scott
Sjovall as our guests for the 2005 Gold Coast Bike Week," said Neal Bolam,
National Marketing & Racing Manager for East Coast Custom. "We're confident that
their wealth of event knowledge will result in a very successful event with the
S&S 124 Challenge Biker Build Off in 2006."
"Australia is a very important and growing market for S&S and the V-Twin
industry," said S&S president, Brett Smith. "It is appropriate for us to sponsor
this event and to do it with East Coast Custom. I am very much looking forward
to the competition over the next several months. I wish all the builders the
very best."
