Cleaning the rafters... Sharkskin, functional, dirty with light rash. If you can use it, slide BARF a 25 dollar donation and were all good. Must pick up in person near Sunnyvale.

I have never seen so many straight-line-on-the-brake/just starting to tip in crashes as there were as Phillip Island. Ever. All totalled I don't know that I've ever seen that many. Nobody wanted to win that race :wow

Turned on the Race 1 this morning and who's mug do I see?? Kenny listening to the wife speak to the BEIN Sports inteviewer about the scene. Way cool ! :cool

My former Rohm Performance Machine team mechanic and friend Kenny passed away yesterday while riding at TH. I know many of you know this already based on alerts on RRW web site and a facebook page set up for communication. I don't FB and I rarely read RRW. So what drew me to open the RRW page...

Former racer and owner of Island Cycle Racing my friend Mick Jones has passed away. Mick lived for the motorcycle industry and it brought him the greatest satisfaction in life, a gift he shared with many. For those that knew him please follow the link below as I was not sure where to place this...

Today I learned that my friend Mick Jones has passed away. Mick and I shared many adventures in my racing life, he through his Island Cycle Racing was the first person to believe in my racing and we became close friends during those years. Our trip to the races at Steamboat Springs was one of...

Copied from a Superbike Planet article Julian Ryder wrote a wonderful introduction to his book "World Superbike: The First Ten Years" which gave a priceless account on how—with largely American roots and European influences—the WSBK series began. Here is the first part of that introduction. A...

I don't know it Helmot still sells these things and I have no idea the cost, but they have been hanging around the garage a few too many years. So off they go. (Front and back side shown) 20.00 dollah for both together. Rob

It was fun to see the turn worker in 11 with his AFM sweatshirt in full view of the camera. That was a battle to the end and the race had it's share of carnage. I watched qualifying and NOBODY was there, nice to see a decent crown on Sunday. I had known vintage F1 cars where going to run I...

Interesting - I remember a number of 05 GSXR 1000 frames breaking in minor get-offs in 2005. Was yours one of them? Many were worried the things would break without crashing them. Luckily, I don't think it ever happened. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=35357

I'm really surprised no one has brought this up. Roger Edmondson created a class of racing and brought it to the AMA. Then (according to the result of lawsuit) AMA was found to have stolen it from him and had to pay (AMA members footed the bill) 3 million dollars. The AMA just sold all its...
