How
to Become a Rich & Famous Celebrity at the LA Calendar Bike Show!
Jesse Rooke emerged out of no where, never having built a
bike before, and won our Best of Show in 2002 with his radical new concept bike "Singled
Sided" . Jesse's bike was then featured in the 2004 Iron
& Lace Calendar and in countless magazines. Jesse returned
in 2003 and 2004 to win twice more, 2003 Best of Show and 2004 First Place Pro Builder Class, and earned twice
more having his incredibly innovative bikes featured in the Iron
& Lace Calendar. It landed Jesse a national advertising campaign
and sponsorship with Mikuni Carburetors among many, a feature program
on the Discovery Channel which first aired March 2005, and paid
appearances at leading motorcycle events across America. Click on
Jesse (above) for the big picture and a preview of the upcoming
2006 Iron & Lace Calendar with Jesse's latest Kali Kruiser -
Rockstar, also featured in a detail in the world's first exclusive
pictorial in Iron & Lace
Garage. Success is Sweet.
Jesse Rooke's first ever custom bike "Single
Sided" won the Pro Builder class of the 2002 LA Show and went
on to be featured in many magazines, the FastDates.com website and
Iron & Lace Calendar with beautiful model Joanna Kruppa, Playboy cover model and MAXIM's World's Sexiest Swimsuit Model!
