Above: Rover Goldammer's 2005 AMD World Championship winning retro bike on the victory display stand next to the 2006 Iron & Lace Calendar featuring his lasy year's Championship winning Board Track bike on the cover. 2005 AMD Pro Show World Championship / Big Twin West / Custom Chrome Dealer Show Las Vegas, Nevada, Nov 17-20th 2005 - Roger Goldammer of Goldammer Cycle Works, Canada, returned to the 2005 American Motorcycle Dealer magazine (AMD) Pro Show World Championship of Custom Bike Building held this year at the Mandalay Bay Resort Convention Center in Las Vegas to claim the coveted World Championship Builder title for the 2nd time in the Show's 2 year history. The entry list for the Championship featured 152 bikes from many of the top builders from around the world, making this the biggest pro caliber custom bike show ever held. Judging in the Radical Builders Class was conducted by the the entered builders themselves, with each builder asked to choose their 12 favorite bikes, in order, with points awarded down from 1st choice. Effectively, Goldammer was awarded the top prize by a judging panel of his peers, and not a a structured set of rules and categories with points for chrome and paint outweighing concept and creativity. Goldammer's winning bike was an extension of his retro Goldammer Board Track racer which won last year's show and is featured on the cover and inside the FastDates.com 2006 Iron & Lace Calendar sponsored by Mikuni, Performance Machine and Jardine Performance. The rolling chassis is essentially a hardtail version of last year's winner, but without that bike's more expensive hidden rear shock and working rear suspension. And with conventional hub mounted disck brakes replacing the exotic rim disc brakes used previouly on his special 23-inch wheels.
There were many exotic customs at the Show with possibly more exciting chassis designs, but what made this retro 1920's green bike a winner in the eyes of the other builder's was Goldammer's inovative all hand built single cylinder motor based on American V-Twin design components, and forced fed by a beautiful belt driven supercharger. While all the other builders were dropping production based engines into their own exotic chassies, Goldammer was the only builder to take the opposite approach and design an exotic prototype engine for his now production based chassis.

November 16th 2005, Valencia, (Spain) – Only one month after the final Round of Magny Cours the World Superbike riders were back on their bikes for a test of major interest.This tire test sponsored by Pirelli, the spec tire of the SBK Championships, opens the 2006 season. The development teams are called to test on the Spanish track the new tyres developed by Pirelli technicians to face a ’06 season that announces to be exciting and extremely battled. The two-day test at Valencia was not as productive as it should have been for Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra, due to the inclement weather. The first day was a virtual washout and most of the riders only completed a handful of laps in the treacherous conditions. Yukio did not venture out, but newly crowned World Champion Troy Corser did - though a small crash in the afternoon caused a premature end to the proceedings. Fortunately Troy only bruised his left hip but, because he was not due to ride on the second day, his test was over.
After yesterday's wash-out, when few riders ventured out onto the track in the wet, conditions were much improved today and Troy was able to ride his Ducati 999 for the first time, together with new team-mate Lorenzo Lanzi. Bayliss proved himself to be in perfect harmony with the new bike, and the 36 year-old Australian completed 49 laps to get used to a Ducati Superbike again after a three-year gap. Despite a still not entirely healed left wrist following a motocross accident in September, Troy was immediately on the pace and his time of 1m36.1s was good enough for second position behind Lanzi. "It was a really good day" declared Troy, "and I was surprised how well my wrist stood up. I had a bit of pain on the brakes and when I pushed on the bars, but I still set some good lap times. I was really comfortable with the team and the bike felt like my old armchair! Now I just want to go away and get stronger and fitter for Qatar in three weeks time." After yesterday's debut in the wet, when he set quickest time, Lorenzo Lanzi continued to impress on the other Ducati Xerox 999. The 24-year-old Italian, winner of two races in his debut year in Superbike, repeated his form today, setting quickest time in 1m35.7s. "I am really pleased with my performance in these two days" commented Lanzi. "I did 38 laps yesterday and 57 today and I was the quickest overall, even though my motivation is still not at 100%. I like the 999 with the new suspension developments and the tyres as well, and yesterday we also had a good opportunity to lap in the wet, so I'm satisfied." SBK Superbike top times at Valencia: 1). Lanzi (Ducati) 1:35.7, 2. Bayliss (Ducati) 1:36.1, 3. Kagayama (Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra) 1:36.3, 4. Haga (Yamaha) 1:36.6, 5. Muggeridge (Honda) 1:36.9, 6. Walker (Kawasaki) 1:37.0, 7. Pitt (Yamaha) 1:37.2, 8. Nieto (Kawasaki) 1:37.3, 9. Toseland (Honda) 1:37.5, 10. Laconi (Kawasaki) 1:39.2, 11.Jones (Petronas) 1:41.2 Supersport: the new World Champion Charpentier was the fastest guy with 1’38”2 preceding Vizziello (1’38”6), Foret (1’39”5), Van de Goorbergh (1’40”0) e Chambon (1’40”5). In SuperStock best time for Roccoli with a good 1’37”9. The next and final testing session this year is scheduled for December 4-6 in the Gulf state of Qatar, the venue for the opening round of next year's championship.
Ducati Unveils new Hypermotard Bike at Milan International Show DUCATI HYPERMOTARD WINS “BEST OF SHOW” AT EICMA Milan, Italy Nov 15th - Ducati used this year's International Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy, to introduce their first new proposed production prototype in 2 years, the Hypermotard. Think of it as a streetfighter performance version of the Ducati's Multistrada S which won FastDates.com's Bike of the Year title for 2005. The Ducati Hypermotard is designed to attacks urban canyons and carve up mountain passes with total abandon. Stripped down to its essentials, the Hypermotard is an extreme performance, totally over-the-top motorcycle. Its purpose is single minded – to thrill. Incredibly slim and somewhat light, with a riding position to dominate, the Hypermotard is ready to rock every road. Race styling makes the blood boil, but the Hypermotard offers what no other bike in its class can: speeds exceeding 220 KPH on the track, fuel injection, and big bore acceleration with more than 100 horsepower in a 175Kg / 385lb package. A rigidly triangulated Trellis frame and track-tested chassis geometry is matched with state-of-the-art suspension. Start off with road-holding 50mm Marzocchi R.A.C. forks, gripped by a triple screw lower fork crown, then add an Ohlins remote reservoir shock that mounts to a stout, single-sided swing arm. Ultra light forged and machined Marchesini racing wheels are paired with a single radial mounted Brembo four piston, four pad calliper gripping a 320mm disc up front and a 240mm disc at the rear. The 1000DS Dual Spark engine pumps out torque and horsepower that is smooth and linear, because the roads that the Hypermotard seeks are neither smooth nor linear. A Slipper type racing clutch makes aggressive downshifting and heavy braking more exciting by damping the abrupt selection of lower gears while entering a turn. Magnesium engine covers subtract more weight for a feathery feel and athletic manoeuvres. We love it the Hypermotrd and will certainly want one in our FastDates.com garage. Unfortunately, this is a prototype concept bike and Ducati is waiting to gauge public reaction at Milan and on their website before putting it into production. With tooling and parts delivery time schedules, that means the Hypermotard could be as long as 2 years away - the time it took them to tool up for their their Classic Bikes . Boo... Changes we'd like to see on the Hypermotard concept bike would be ditch the motocross front fender which is useless on a street bike and use a lower streetbike fender, ditch the twin round mufflers at back for a lighter single superbike silencer, and run dual front brakes. There also needs to be a taller windscreen option since we do have to ride down the highway to get to the canyons. This bike will weigh close to 400lbs wet, just as much as a 999 Superbike, so it definetly needs dual superbike front brakes. We'd also like to suggest to Ducati a Hypermotard R model with even more power, using the 1000DS 3-valve Desmo 3 motor, or better yet the Testastretta 999 motor. And add Ohlins front forks. Ducati could easily beat Aprilia's popular Tuno R model and KTM's 950 Supermoto by using full superbike components in this much slimmmer and easier to handle new Hypermotard chassis. As presently proposed the Hypermoto looks better than a Tuono and will certainly handle better in the canyons, but it is coming into the market years behind with less power and braking.
Chicks that Kick Ass!
