March 22, 2006 (Press Release) --
VC Tech, in collaboration with Bryan Fuller - former TLC Overhaulin' cast member and owner of Fuller Hot Rods in Atlanta - will show and compete in two prestigious bike championships later this year. The first event, the third-annual Official AMD World of Custom Bike Building Championship will be held August 6th-8th in Sturgis, South Dakota. The second event, the Artistry in Iron Master Builder's Championship, is an invitation-only event and will be held September 14th during the Las Vegas BikeFest in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The bike that will be shown at each event is one designed by Fuller. VC Tech students and staff are currently constructing the motorcycle according to Fuller's specifications. Once built, VC Tech will own the bike; it will later be sold and proceeds will go into the VC Tech Student Scholarship Fund.
The Official AMD World of Custom Bike Building Championship will feature over a hundred contenders from various countries. A truly global competition commanding worldwide status and respect, this event is decided on by the competitors themselves with a $50,000 prize fund to be awarded to top winners. Last year, Fuller and his design came in fourth out of 111 competitors.
The Artistry in Iron competition, sponsored by Hot Bike magazine, is an invite-only event consisting of only 25 builders. The participating builders will conduct the judging, and the winner will be announced at a VIP reception. In addition to a $20,000 grand prize, the winning builder will be featured in a Hot Bike magazine article.
Fuller has extensive experience in custom bike design and construction. After graduating from a post secondary automotive school, Fuller moved to California to work at SoCal Hot Rod Shop doing sheet metal and paintwork. He was then hired by specialty car shop GMT where accomplished metal shaper Geoff Mitford Taylor taught him many innovative metal shaping techniques. Hired by Chip Foose as a metal fabricator, Bryan was featured in 10 episodes of TLC's Overhaulin' as part of the “A Team”. In April 2005, Fuller opened his own hot rod shop in downtown Atlanta.
