In March of 2007 South Bay Custom Cycles changed
its name to "South Bay Biker Productions.” After filming motorcycle
rallies for years, we decided to put on our own events & do ‘em the way
bikers want. The name was changed to reflect the company's new
direction.
Jeffrey Kraus, aka "EZJ," originally founded South Bay to make
documentary films about biker traditions & the rallies Jeff & his
buddies attend. In the 70s, Jeff attended UCLA & majored in Motion
Picture / Television. He also operated his own successful photography
studio in Venice, California. It was always Jeff’s dream to produce his
own films. His original business plan was to produce films about the
V-Twin motorcycle world. Motorcycle event promoters who engaged the
services of Jeff's film crew would have a great way to document the good
times bikers have at their events.
Debbie Johnson, aka "Wings2Fly" came on board in 2006. After “falling
hard” for Debbie & seeing her capabilities & work ethic, Jeff decided to
partner with this lady biker to work together to put on their own
motorcycle events. Jeff continues to produce films to promote South Bay
Biker Productions' events along with the company’s charity & business
affiliates. Debbie holds down the office, is the web master, oversees
vendor issues & will manage the Wings2Fly Saloon at the rally. Jeff
oversees South Bay Biker Productions’ entertainment, security, media
promotion & the film division as Executive Producer & Creative Director.
Jeff & Debbie have also teamed up with their close friends, Gary &
Lorrie Nadler, aka, "Boogieman" & "Tequila Rose." Gary is a true biker,
a champion biker game athlete & about as honest & big hearted a man as
you’ll ever find. Lorrie brings integrity, family values, 20 years of
business experience & will oversee food service at South Bay Biker
Productions’ events. Gary & Lorrie founded & own a 15 year old
successful business, Harris Roofing, which is headquartered in New
River, Arizona. “Boogieman” & “Tequila Rose” are soul mates & have been
happily married for 27 years.
Besides our dedication to our families, we are bikers. As such, the events
we put on & the films we make are done by bikers for bikers. We fell in
love with the lifestyle a long time ago; we love our fellow bikers &
want to preserve biker traditions for future generations. As American
citizens, each one of us is on a mission to support the men & women who
have protected & served & those who continue to protect & serve our
country at home & abroad to guard our way of life & keep us free. |
