and Iron & Lace Calendars produced
by FastDates.com which will have their World Premier at
the Show.
Robin's
duties throughout the weekend will include introducing
the bands and main stage activities, meeting spectators
and posing with them for photos, as well as assisting
both days with the FastDates.com Calendar Girl Model Search
Pageant sponsored by CaliforniaHostess.com. Our Robin
certainly knows her way around a beauty pageant stage
as she has won the titles of Miss Texas, Miss Hawaiian
Tropic International, and Robin was also a Hooters Calendar
girl. Tell Me More |

from the upcoming 2006 Calendars they are waiting for you now

Another
FastDates.com World Exclusive! We shoot Valentino Rossi's
MotoGP World Championship winning Yamaha YZR M1B
Million
Dollar Baby, Los Angeles, May 1st 2005 - In another
Fast Dates.com world exclusive, we were excited and privileged
this past week to photograph Valentino Rossi's
2004 World Championship winning Yamaha M1 for
the Fast Dates Racebike Pinup Calendar. Our
own Editor and Calendar photographer Jim Gianatsis
used his secret connections at the Yamaha factory to arrange
for Rossi's million dollar rocket ship to be flown in to our
executive studios in Los Angeles for an exclusive shoot for
our premier racebike pinup calendar.
The beautiful
model for the shoot was our own SBK Fast Dates World Superbike
Calendar Angel and Ducati Corse Umbrella Girl, Miss Texas and
Hawaiian Tropic International beauty pageant winner and actress
"Rockin' Robin Cunningham. We were happy
that Robin could take time out from her busy schedule to help
us out, a schedule which includes hosting 3 different TV series
and the filming of a major motion picture staring Robin. The
movie is a horror flick named Campfire being
filmed in Yosemite National Park with Robin as a Park Policeman
trying to find out who or what is killing off the unhappy campers.
campfire kiss scheduled for release on October 6th of this year,
but we will be joining Robin on the red carpet for the premier
at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles on October 6th.
The three
new TV shows, also now in production, which Robin is hosting
include X Music on the WB Channel which begins
airing in June, where our girl interviews hot up and coming
new rock bands. Then there's a show called Black Belt
TV for a new martial arts network which will be premiering
soon, where Robin just might get to show us her Texas bar room
brawling and beer bottle bashing skills, learned in part from
fending off Hawaiian Tropic pageant celebrity judges and drunken
sport bike riders at the Blue Fin Bar on Cannery Row during
race weekend at Laguna Seca.
Robin's third new TV series is called Underwater Oddessy
on the ABC Family Channel which begins airing May 7th. We will
be watching intensely to see if those playful dolphins she's
cavorting with in the Pacific Ocean might accidentally dislodge
her bikini top. With this being the Disney Channel, the chances
are slim to none for an on air wardrobe malfunction, but just
seeing our perky Robin in a soaking wet swimsuit emerging from
the chilly ocean is more than enough to restore our family values
and viewing habits.

After
our studio shoot with Robin and Rossi's bike we fired
up the 240 hp missile and blasted it down 10 miles of
twisty Mullholland Highway to the world famous weekend
biker hangout The Rock Store in nearby Cornell, CA. There
Jim commerated and recreated with Robin (see picture above)
the 1994 Fast Dates Calendar cover with
model Ginger Sweitzer and reigning World
Champ Wayne Rainey's Yamaha YZR500 Grand
Prix bike. This new picture to be featured in the next
Fast Dates Calendar, in our Calendar Gallery in Members
Corner, and available for sale on VintageArte.com

Bean in Malibu.
Neil
Hodgson Rides with Fast Dates
Malibu, CA, May 29th -Sunday morning at the
Coffee Bean in Malibu, California, you never know who might
show up to go riding with our regular sport bike crowd. This
morning it was World and British Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson
who is temporarily living in nearby Newport Beach, CA, with
his family while contesting the 2006 AMA Superbike Championship
in America for Ducati.
Neil
is close friends with another misplaced Brit, Poppy, one of
our favorite Sunday canyon riding regulars, and Poppy had invited
Neil to join us on his weekend off from racing. Poppy is a former
British Royal Marines Special Forces Commando, now working as
a body guard for a well known rock star and living in Los Angeles.
The Champ Neil had never ridden the canyons before and was justifiable
cautious. "When you're own a race track you can learn too
go fast progressively, lap after lap for 20 laps or so to learn
the limit. Here you don't know what's around the next corner
and it really is frightening!"
Neil
was riding Poppy's borrowed 999S Ducati, and we knew riding
a Superbike in the canyons might be a handful even for a World
Champ, so we traded off with Neil and let him ride our Multistrada
S (FastDates.com's Bike of the Year) with its upright seating
and higher bars. Neil had never ridden a multistrada before
and was totally blown away, and instantly quicker, though he
did look a little funny sticking his foot out in the tighter
corners. "I'm use to putting my knee out in the corner
to feel where the track is! The Multistrada is so much higher
I felt I need to put my foot out to feel where the road was
in the corners!"
Needless
to say, we won't tell anyone. Later in the ride we ended up
at our favorite biker hangout, The Rock Store on Mullholand
Highway in the Santa Monica Mountains for breakfast, and Rock
Store owner Ed just happened to have the current 2005 Fast Dates
Calendar with Neil's 2003 World Championship winning Ducati
999F03 on the cover with Miss Great Britain Nicki Lane. Neil
got to see the Calendar for the first time and autographed it
for Ed. Latter that evening our riding group all meet up again
at Poppy's house for Poppy's wedding to his lovely riding partner
Zoey, and I brought the whole wedding group Neil and Poppy their
own Fast Dates Calendars. Needless to say, Poppy certainly has
his priorities right when it comes to moving back your wedding
a few hours so you can go riding with your mates. Congratulations
Poppy and Zoey!
Poppy
doesn't look too nervous about his pending wedding in a few
hours as Neil checks out his World Championship winning Ducati
in Fast Dates.
