S&S Cycle, Inc., located in Viola and LaCrosse, Wisconsin, will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in June, 2008. To commemorate this occasion, S&S has invited 50 of the best bike builders in the country to compete in a bike build contest. The first place winner will take home the $50,000 Grand Prize.
S&S has been the leading name in engines for the custom bike building industry. The company started out making parts to fit Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It has evolved into the industry leader for performance engines and other major components.
On June 26-29, 2008, S&S will celebrate in LaCrosse, Wisconsin with a three-day festival concluding with the announcement of the bike build winners. There will be six engine categories in the competition with specified builders working with the P-Series, SH-Series, SB-Series, V-series, T-Series and the new X-Wedge engine.
The list of builders coming to LaCrosse is impressive, to say the least. They include Chica, Arlen and Cory Ness, Departure Bike Works, Indian Larry Legacy, Donnie Smith, Jesse Rooke, Kendall Johnson, Klock Werks, Bourget’s Bike Works, Jim Nasi, Orange County Choppers and many more. Milwaukee’s own Dave Cook is entered in the SH-Series competition. There will be builders coming from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Holland, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and all over the United States.
Special serial numbers ranging from 1958 to 2008 will represent the 50 years S&S has been in business. The 51st engine serial number will be 2008 and will be used in a special project bike yet to be announced. The builders who use these engines (and their prospective customers if they choose to sell them after the competition) will receive a certificate and a medallion commemorating the historic pedigree of their particular engine serial number.
