Mario built his first show bike in 2004 specifically for the Metzeler tire show in Sturgis. He won the best in show and went to Germany with the red Chop-Rod. That bike also received 1st place at the Penthouse show that year. He began a great relationship with Metzler and Pirelli tires that has lasted to this day. Including advertising and making appearances to shows for them. In the process JRC gave Metzeler input on what they would like to see in a new tire. They have now built their first tall tires and JRC's new Cutlass wheels accommodate them. They have won many shows since then.

During bike week in Daytona JRC was honored to receive a Vie-Qu award at the V-Twin Bikers Ball (Best Designs). The Cyclone bike placed top 20 at the World Show in 2006, and Barnetts Magazine ran a feature on it. They are in upcoming Metric Revolution T.V.series on ESPN2 this spring. The designs speak for themselves. JRC will alway be a force to be reckoned with.
