Career
Roger Goldammer and his company Goldammer Cycle Works was most known for building futuristic custom bikes, for customers as well as billet frontends. In 2004 Roger entered the AMD worldchampionship with a bike very different from his earlier work, the bike which was inspired by early boardtrack racing bikes and featured innovations such as an oiltank built into the frame and hidden suspension for the rear swingarm. This gave Goldammer a lot of publicity and he returned the next year to the championship with a similar concept called "Trouble", which featured a V-Twin engine converted into a single-cylinder engine and fitted with a supercharger and a front end with the suspension built into the frame"s neck.
Due to his success Goldammer decided not to build any more bikes for customers and only build bikes for himself in order to have complete creative control.
His company continued to produce aftermarket parts to support his custom bike buildings. In 2007 Goldammer didn"t enter a bike into the competition and opted to participate in the Biker Build-Office where he competed on the Bonneville Salt Flats against Matt Hotch of Hot Match Custom Cycles.
Goldammer based his bike "Experimental" on a Honda Czech Republic 250 dirtbike frame which was severely modified and fitted with dual KRC supercart motors. In 2007 Goldammer debuted a new bike called "Nortorious" which was heavily influenced by the Norton Manx cafe racer.
The engine concept from his bike "Trouble" was used but with a rear cylinder head mounted on the single remaining front cylinder and equipped with a fuel injection system.
1st Place AMD World Championships 2008.
