GOLDAMMER CROWNED WORLD CHAMPION, AGAIN!
September 22, 2008
For an unprecedented third time, Canadian Roger Goldammer was named the World Champion and overall winner of the Freestyle Class. This is the third time in five years Roger has come out on top of the competition. Roger's entry for 2008 was the same bike that he competed with on the Bonneville Salt Flats in September of 2007, a single-cylinder, fuel-injected blown sport bike, with nitrous that achieved a top speed of just over 164 mph, as he took home a world record with an average speed of 160+ mph.
The competition is divided into four classes, Metric, Modified Harley-Davidson, Production, and the coveted, the Freestyle Class. 2008 World Champion of Custom Bike BuildingRoger Goldammer – Freestyle Class
