Titan Motorcycle Co. Secures $5 Million Line of Credit

    PHOENIX, April 20 -- Frank Keery, chief executive officer of
Titan Motorcycle Co. of America (OTC Bulletin Board: TMOT), announced today
that the company has secured a new, long-term $5 million revolving line of
credit with Wells Fargo Bank.
    According to Bob Lobban, chief financial officer, the availability of
additional funding, on very favorable terms, will facilitate Titan's continued
dramatic sales growth and product expansion plans, while enabling the company
to better manage cash flow and inventories.
    "This new relationship with a world-class banking institution represents
the achievement of yet another level of financial security for Titan.  While
in the short term we expect the line of credit to serve us well as a resource
toward solidifying supplier relationships, we also recognize the professional
association with the bank as a key building block for Titan's future," said
Lobban.

manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine
motorcycles marketed under various Titan trademarks.  Titan's unique, hand-
