Roland Sands and Jesse Rooke's Biker Build Off
TV Show bikes featured in 2008 Iron & Lace and Fast Dates Calendar
Two of the stars in this year's 2008 Fast Dates and Iron & Lace Calendar are the sportbike themed customs which our famed Calendar bike builders Roland Sands and Jesse Rooke built for Build or Bust TV, and premiered at the 2006 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show

For the 2006 season, Biker Build Off’s producers decided to provide a twist to the program’s format, incorporating a competitive racing component that, for the first time, truly measured both the form and function of these one-of-a-kind two-wheel works of art. Sands and Rooke were pitted against each other in a two-out-of-three challenge featuring three separate events to determine an overall champion: a road race challenge, a dirt-track challenge and a classic quarter-mile drag race. When it was all said and done, the former AMA champ Sands proved victorious.

Sands 2006 Biker Build Off entry, “No Regrets” was the collision of classic chopper and hi-tech sport bike design. The bike features a Kendall Johnson-modified Harley twin cam motor and transmission, and its trademark “chopper-turned race bike” look was achieved by a variety of components from Sands’ newly introduced RSD line of custom motorcycle kits, component parts and accessories now available through Performance Machine.

The Jesse Rook built bike featured a 950cc KTM DOHC water cooled sportbike engine in a beautiful retro board tracker design painted by Troy Lee Designs. For creativity, design and fabrication, the Rooke bike was the hands down winner. But with it's rigid rear suspension, unique Jesse Rooke Customs girder front forks, and minimal brakes, the Rooke retro bike was at a severe disadvantages when it got to the race track. Roland Sands' bike "No Regrets" came away the show's winner with its quickest times on the drag strip and around the roadrace track. And it certainly was the most practical bike for the street.

Also featured in this year's calendar is the Roland Sands built retro board track racer custom which GotoGP World Champin and team owner kenny Roberts Sr. commissioned Rolda to build, featuring a 990xx 5-cylinder 230hp KR MotoGP engine.

You'll find detailed pictorials of the Jesse Rooke and Roland Sands Biker Build off machines in the Iron & Lace Garage.
