Titan Passes Rigorous European Standards

    PHOENIX, Nov. 18 -- Titan Motorcycle Co. of America
announced today that the company has officially completed all
testing to meet full compliance with the new European Union (EU) standards for
motorcycles.

    Achievement of this manufacturing milestone is the result of nearly two
years of engineering and rigorous testing, under the supervision of an EU
auditor.  During that time, the company's operating, engineering, and quality
systems were subjected to rigorous audit to ensure compliance.  In addition to
system audits, comprehensive evaluation included tests of dynamometer and
brake performance, noise level compliance, and electromagnetic interference,
to name a few.

    "The new EU standards are very demanding and will certainly allow only the
best of motorcycles and manufacturers to market to the European Community.
Obviously, Titan is delighted to have achieved this distinction, which will
greatly facilitate European marketing and sales," said Titan President Patrick
Keery.

    Founded in 1994, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America is a premier designer,
manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine
motorcycles marketed under various Titan trademarks.  Titan's unique,
hand-built configurations, including the Gecko(TM), Roadrunner(TM),
Sidewinder(TM) and Phoenix(TM), represent the finest available in
custom-designed, volume-produced, performance motorcycles.  Manufactured at
the company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility, and available
with a variety of customized options and designs, Titan large displacement
motorcycles are sold through a network of over 80 domestic and international
dealers.
