R-Max USA by Roadmax Supports St. Francis H.S. Chopper Build
November 21, 2006 - R-Max USA Press Release




November 21, 2006 Ontario, CA - R-Max USA by Roadmax is assisting
St. Francis High School in competing in the 2007 Donnie Smith Chopper
Class Challenge by donating time, expertise, a transmission, chrome
starter, 3? open primary belt and a number of R-Max USA by Roadmax
work shirts.

The Donnie Smith Chopper Class Challenge culminates at the 2007 Donnie
Smith Invitational Bike Show on March 25 and 26th in the Saint Paul's
RiverCentre. The budding Chopper builders from St. Francis High School
design and build a v-twin chopper motorcycle from the ground up.

Brent Stavig, St. Francis High School Metals Instructor, spearheads
the program and has been overwhelmed by the response by the St.
Francis community and the motorcycle industry. "It all started when we
began welding up 50cc mini choppers," explained Stavig. "Greg Stewart
of the local Fat Boys Bar and Grill asked us if we wanted to build a
real chopper and then donated money and assisted us in finding firms
to partner with the kids. The result of this was an enormous amount of
cooperation from the industry. Many companies donated parts, supplies,
equipment, tools, knowledge and time to the project."

Last year's chopper was called the Iron Saint and won the People's
Choice award at the 2006 Donnie Smith Invitational Bike Show. The 2007
Chopper is already in the works and will depart from the old school
look of the Iron Saint with a more contemporary look of a high-tech
chopper.

"I have to hand it to Brent Stavig and the administration of St.
Francis High School," said Jaz Zbiegien, Sales and Marketing Director,
R-Max USA by Roadmax. "They found the switch to turn the students on
'I can see it in their eyes on each visit' and create a real world
environment where the students can perform, compete and succeed. Last
year?s Iron Saint is an outstanding custom motorcycle and I am
enthusiastically looking forward to the 2007 chopper."

Some of the companies and individuals that have assisted in the
project include Donnie Smith, Brian Klock, Billy Lane, Jaz from R-MAX
USA by Roadmax, Kokesh Motorcycles, S&S, Denvers Chopper, Crane Cams,
BAD Creations, Hardtails, Isanti Performance Cycle, Mutha Country
Choppers, Olson Radiator, House of Color, Precision Line Motorsports,

and Zylstra Harley Davidson.
