Just like Kenji Negai of Ken's Factory, Japan, who took 1st Place Pro Builder in 2008 and returned with an all new and even more exciting bike to take 2009 Best of Show, Chris also returned for blood the 2nd time around after taking 1st Pro Builder with his retro styled Speed Shop Special #6 last year. Chis is an industrial designer and amateur builder with these two completely different custom bikes in 2 years, built specifically to premier at he LA Calendar Motorcycle Show. These are the only 2 bikes Chris has ever built, being designed and constructed at night and on weekends after his regular day job.

"Beezerker" was Chris' first ever attempt in working with aluminum which he used to build the bike's fuel tank and 1930's Metropolis style bodywork. He also built all the hand and foot controls from scratch, including the foot mechanically actuated rear sprocket brake. The bike's originality defies description, if not classification, and could have been entered in nearly every one of the Show's Calendar Bike Building Championship's 10 classes from Modern and Classic Twin, to Street Custom and Sportbike. For 2 years now this amateur builder has entered the Pro Builder Class with both his bikes to take home the winning Pro Builder Class trophy and Best of Show.

Speed Shop Special #6 is featured in the just released 2011 Iron & Lace Calendar and in the Calendar Bike Garage at: http://www.FastDates.com/IronLaceGarage.HTM
