Fred
"Krugger" Bertrand had won second place in the European
Custom Bike Building Championship in March and the prize was a
trip to the World Championship at Custom Chrome headquarters in
Morgan Hill, California. Fred invited me to come with him so we
took the Thalys (200 mph train) to Paris and from there we flew
11 hours to San Fransisco. We rented a 2005 Dodge Dakota at the
airport and drove to Morgan Hill. After we had dumped our luggage
at the hotel we went to CCI to see if Fred's bike had arrived
safely and to check out the show.

Roger
Goldammer and his boardtracker,
a really nice guy and a really cool bike
After we had
taken a quick look at the show, where only about a quarter of
the contestants had arrived yet, we drove to Salinas to visit
Cole Foster at Salinas Boyz.
Both Fred and me really admire Cole's work and we just had to
meet this guy. Cole had just finished a Biker Buildoff against
Hank Young, I took lot's of pictures of his new bike but cannot
show them to you untill January or Cole will get in trouble with
Discovery Channel. It will be worth the wait, I promise you! We
enjoyed the afternoon talking cars and bikes with the guys, and
after we all went to Taco Bell's together.
