Our Songbird


Jennifer Santolucito, formally known as Jennifer Scott, has served as Master of Ceremonies for the David Mann Chopperfest in Ventura, California since 2007. She has had an active role in the Motorcycle community since 2003 when she began posing as a Pin Up with the best choppers around (Choppers Inc., West Coast Choppers, Central Coast Cycles, etc.). In 2004 Billy Lane stuck a microphone in Jennifer's hand and asked her to emcee the Blood, Sweat, and Gears Tour. This tour consisted of Billy Lane, Mondo Porras, Aaron Green, Paul Cox, and Kendall Johnson. Dedicated to our service Men and Women this was live fabrication by the best of the best. Jennifer has been hosting Motorcycle shows ever since. Her passion for Motorcycles, Music, Art, and the Lifestyle that David Mann painted is what she represents.

“ Jennifer is an amazing person that has such a caring & giving soul. She always puts a smile on your face and she is so humble about her musical talent. We are honored every year to have her at the David Mann Chopperfest, “- Tory

Happy Thanksgiving

Quick Throttle David Mann Cover By Tom Fritz


Check out the cover of Quick Throttle Magazine December issue. It features a portrait of David Mann by Tom Fritz. This painting will be on display and presented to Jacquie Mann at the Chopperfest.
"My aim was to reach the truest part of a man, an artist, who followed his convictions and defined the spirit of his life's experience using the material of his passion. Through his imagination and brushwork, David Mann raised a temple -- no, a clubhouse -- where a culture may come and celebrate itself." stated  Tom Fritz
"The portrait Tom created not only captures the essence of David Mann, it also pays tribute to the artist himself." Jacquie Mann

Bike Show News!!!!

Sonny Mouneu of Sonny Boy Paint has created the one-off trophies for the past few years. His impeccable attention to detail shines through each and every piece.  
We just received great news from Sonny and thought we should past it along
"I am very happy to announce that I have teamed up with the Legendary Tom Fugle, of the El Forastero MC, to make the trophies for this years David Mann Chopper Festival. Tom has made these stones with original Dave Mann art printed on them and they are amazing. Here is just a sneak peak at the stones. My Brother Leo, has made the plaques and I still need to stain the wood, letter and pinstripe them. I have been making the trophies for this show for the last 6 years and I think these will be the best trophies yet! Who ever wins one of these is going to be very happy, because you can't go wrong with an all hand made stone by Tom Fugle, with Dave Mann art and with some Sonny Boy Pinstripe and Lettering on it!!! I would like to give a big thanks to Tom Fugle for collaborating with me to make this happen. He is truly a generous and all around great person. Thanks to Jeff Wright of Church of Choppers for helping me get in touch with Tom and making this possible... With that said, please come out to the Chopper Fest and enter your bike in the show. You could take home one of these awesome trophies! And if you really think you're bike is worthy you could walk away with a $2000 cash prize for Best of Show. GET SOME!!!"

The David Mann Memorial Award will be presented by Jacquie Mann and Family, what a great moment that will be! Big thanks to Russ Brown for sponsoring the bike show and to Nick Perri and Taber Nash for donation the $2000.00 cash prize. We appreciate their support!
