Motorcycle News - AFT Texas Half-Mile Recap
https://ift.tt/2HYCjX1 ![]() The AFT Texas Half-Mile races this weekend were fraught with drama. Begin Press Release: FORT WORTH, Texas (April 28, 2018) – Defending Grand National Champion Jared Mees earned some much-needed redemption while AFT Singles rising star Morgen Mischler earned his first professional win in a drama-filled night of American Flat Track racing at Texas Motor Speedway for the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Texas Half Mile presented by Al Lamb’s Dallas Honda. That drama was effectively guaranteed even before the day’s racing activities began, coming only one day following the announcement that Mees had been disqualified and stripped of his win at the previous round in Atlanta for using a chemically altered tire. But the twists only stacked up from there. The entire evening program was loaded with thrills and spills, the implication of which are almost certain to be felt throughout the remainder of the 2018 title fight. Big name after big name was eliminated from competition even prior to the Main, including Mees’ fellow Indian Wrecking Crew members Brad Baker and Bryan Smith. Baker went down hard in his Heat and could not continue, and then Smith lost the front in Semi 1, initiating a spectacular, multi-rider incident that also collected Jake Johnson and Stevie Bonsey, who was launched several feet into the air in terrifying fashion. Adding more drama, Kenny Coolbeth, Jr. – the AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines points leader coming into the weekend – simply failed to make the Main, finishing outside the top nine in Semi 2. Meanwhile, Mees hardly put a wheel wrong aboard his Indian Scout FTR750 all night long. He was momentarily squeezed out at the start of the Main, briefly dropping to third, but he systematically worked his way past Chad Cose and early leader Briar Bauman to grab the lead. Once established in front, Mees was in complete control of the contest to the checkered flag. The triumph was a double dosage of redemption for the defending champ; Mees finished second in Texas last year – the only time in the most recent seven Half-Miles in which he failed to stand atop the podium. After the race Mees said, “First off, thoughts and prayers to all the downed riders. I don’t know the condition of any of them, but we had a lot of downed riders tonight and nobody wants to see that. [All riders were reported to be awake and alert afterward.] On my end, we just came out and were really focused on getting this win, and we made it happen. We were fast right out of the gate. Huge hats off to my entire team for just sticking behind me and making it happen for me week-in and week-out. The Indian motorcycle is a phenomenal bike for me.” Zanotti Racing ace Bauman came home second while Cose held onto third aboard his Indian Motorcycle of Oklahoma City Scout FTR750 to earn his first-ever AFT Twins podium. And just like that, Mees is back in a familiar position – leading the AFT Twins championship table with 50 points – despite his Atlanta DQ. Henry Wiles, who finished fifth tonight, is second, followed by Bauman in third. Earlier in AFT Singles action, Morgen Mischler narrowly fended off a hard-charging Shayna Texter to secure his first-career professional victory by a scant 0.094 seconds. At the start, Texter slashed her way forward aboard her Husqvarna FC 450, picking off several rivals on a track where most struggled to overtake. However, she could not quite find a way past race-leader Mischler once she arrived on his rear wheel, no matter how desperately she tried. Mischler rebuked numerous attempts by Texter, including – and most crucially – coming off the race’s final corner with his sideways Cycle Craft Yamaha YZ450F bucking and protesting all the way to the checkered flag. Texter was right there, close enough to take advantage, but Mischler’s swerving Yamaha blocked her from making the pass. Mischler’s victory put to rest any lingering doubt he may have had regarding his skills to compete with, and beat, the best the AFT undercard has to offer. He said, “It’s one of those things – when you move up to the pro ranks, you ask yourself if you belong. On that last lap… it stepped out pretty good, but I just pinned it.” Brandon Price rounded out the podium in third, taking over the AFT Singles points lead in the process as former championship leader Dan Bromley finished 17th.

Motorcycle News - Ducati Opens In-House Physics Laboratory To The Public
https://ift.tt/2HKqq3H ![]() The laws of physics haven’t changed, but its application to motorcycling can be hard to understand at times. To help educate local high school students, Ducati created the Fisica in Moto at the company headquarters in Bologna. Among its many features, the physics laboratory includes several interactive and hands-on displays to help understand the inner workings of Ducati motorcycles. Now the Fisica in Moto is open not just to students, but to the general public. Developed with the help of teachers from the Malpighi High School of Bologna, the lab covers topics like desmodromic valve operation, the physics behind lean angle, and even the purpose of your helmet liner. The laboratory will be opened on Saturdays and Sundays during the school year (October – June) and from Monday to Friday in Summer (June – September), closed on Wednesdays. Saturday-Sunday hours are 9:30am, 11:30am, 2:00pm and 4:00pm; Monday-Friday hours are 10:30am, 12:15pm and 3:00pm. The Fisica in Moto tickets includes entry to the Ducati Museum (a must see, in my opinion), and tickets can be booked here. Pricing structures are detailed below (in Euros):

Motorcycle News - Jason Andersons Supercross Championship Points Lead is Slipping Away
https://ift.tt/2vXhO8n ![]() The penultimate round of Monster Energy Supercross was held this past weekend in Salt Lake City, and current championship points leader, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson, didn’t have the main event he was looking for, ultimately finishing 17th after a first turn tangle that sent him to the pits to swap front wheels. Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin finished first and took a considerable bite out of Anderson’s points lead, narrowing it to a margin of only 14 points. Should Anderson have another less than ideal race at the season finale in Vegas this coming weekend, Musquin might be able to steal the championship out from under Anderson… Tensions will certainly be high this weekend, and given Marvin’s newfound aggression, the Frenchman may just have what it takes to pull off a major Husqvarna upset. Begin Release: SALT LAKE CITY, UT – April 29, 2018 – Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, made its return to “The State of Sport” in front of 43,849 fans at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. ![]() Marvin Musquin celebrates his fourth 450SX Class win after leading 23 of the 26-Lap Main Event in Salt Lake City.

In the 450SX Class Main Event, the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC WPS KTM of Blake Baggett grabbed the holeshot ahead of Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin and Team Honda HRC’s Christian Craig, while points leader Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson got caught up in a first turn crash that sent him to the mechanics area for a tire change. As Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing’s Eli Tomac battled from a 10th place start, Musquin made the pass on Baggett for the lead after three laps. Tomac found his groove and worked up to second over Baggett by the checkers while Anderson finished 17th after going two laps down and holds a 14-point lead over Musquin heading into the season finale in Las Vegas. “Sometimes it’s not the fastest guy that wins the race,” Musquin said after the finish. “You’ve got to be very consistent. The whoops are really, really tough and you know I was just trying to be safe and get it done. I was happy to win here. It’s definitely not a track that suits me. It’s hard and slippery, but the bike was working good. It was a tough day for me, but that made me stronger.” ![]() Shane McElrath captured his second Western Regional 250SX Class win in Salt Lake City after a third-place start to lead 11 of the 19-Lap Main Event.

In the penultimate round of the Western Regional 250SX Class Championship, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Joey Savatgy grabbed the holeshot while Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha Racing’s Aaron Plessinger battled into second after the start with Troy Lee Designs Red Bull KTM’s Shane McElrath in third. Savatgy lead eight laps until McElrath charged from third to first through the whoops while Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo found second over Savatgy, Plessinger and Sexton rounded out the top five, and McElrath led 11 laps to the checkered flag. Plessinger holds a 13-point lead heading into the season finale at the Dave Coombs Sr. 250SX East-West Showdown in Las Vegas. “It feels good to do it in front of Utah today,” McElrath said on the podium. “Man, God is good.

Motorcycle News - Ion Heart: Colt Wrangler’s electrifying Zero XU tracker
https://ift.tt/2Ftjrdv
If the donor bike is electric, you can multiply the difficulty level by ten. Without a traditional engine to anchor the visuals, it’s fiendishly hard to create an attractive machine. Which makes this Zero XU street tracker from Colt Wrangler even more remarkable: it’s one of the freshest-looking bikes we’ve seen so far this year.
“I’ve always been the type to make things my own and unique,” he says. “I enjoy working with my hands and being creative. When I realized that I could make money doing just that with motorcycles, I dived in headfirst.”
“A customer came to me with the idea for a custom electric motorcycle,” Colt reveals. “My original thought was to build a cafe racer, possibly with full fairings. But after riding the bike in its original form, I really enjoyed the stance it already had. So I decided to go for a street tracker look.” Colt’s customer tracked down a 2013-year Zero XU at local dealership, but it spent nearly a year gathering dust in Colt’s workshop before the go button was pressed. “My plans for it changed over time, because of the extra skills and tools I acquired over that year. At first, I planned on gutting a vintage gas tank to set over the top tube,” says Colt. “But once I had the proper shaping tools and a welder—and some instruction from friends—I decided to hand-form everything from aluminum sheet.”
Colt’s kept the original wiring harness, but did move a lot of electrical components around. “The digital gauge is under the false tank, which lifts up with the push of a button.”
The Zero ships with a 16” rear wheel. To get the tracker stance, Colt sent the hub and a 19” rim to Buchanan’s Spoke & Rim, and they assembled a new wheel.
“It was terrible at first—it took me hours of practice before I could even tack two pieces together. I’ve gotten a lot better since, but I still have so much to learn.” Thankfully Colt has good friends to advise him: Junior at Retro Moto, and Andrew at Free Ride Fab.
If we had to pick out a signature feature, it’d be the sculptural headlight surround. “Headlight and number plate combos have been done so much over the past few years, I was hesitant to build another one. But I think it turned out to be unique.” That assembly alone took Colt almost three days to finish, and is made up of four pieces. The headlight itself is a flush-mounted truck bumper light.
Trackers are all about light, flickable handling, and this Zero delivers. Unlike many custom bikes, there are no dynamic compromises. “It’s as light as a scooter but handles fantastic,” says Colt. “It’s a blast to ride and is the easiest machine I’ve ever operated.”
So is the customer happy too? “The customer is happy, but has also made styling suggestions that I just can’t bring myself to do,” Colt admits. “Building a bike for someone is definitely a compromise—but it’s also my duty to guide my customers. I think that this bike is very well balanced visually, and has a look that will stand the test of time, even as trends come and go.” We agree. And we’re looking forward to seeing Colt’s next build, which he’s only just started: a Harley XG500 street tracker with Buell XB wheels and suspension. “It’s actually a giveaway, so to tune into my social media pages for more details.” Colt Wrangler Motorcycles | Facebook | Instagram Motorcycles via Bike EXIF http://www.bikeexif.com April 30, 2018 at 12:06PM
Motorcycle News - Indian Motorcycle Takes First and Third At Texas Half-Mile
https://ift.tt/2Kodq5i ![]() After being disqualified from the Atlanta race, Jared Mees would again bring home the top spot at the Texas Half-Mile. Begin Press Release: INDIAN MOTORCYCLE RACING’S SCOUT FTR750 TAKES FIRST & THIRD PLACE AT TEXAS HALF-MILE 2017 Reigning Champion & Wrecking Crew Rider Jared Mees Takes Victory; Chad Cose & Indian Motorcycle of OKC Finish Third FORT WORTH, TX (April 30, 2018) – Indian Motorcycle Racing and reigning 2017 American Flat Track (AFT) Champion Jared Mees secured the top leaderboard position with a win at the Texas Half-Mile. Indian Motorcycle of Oklahoma City Privateer Chad Cose secured his first career AFT Twins podium with a strong third-place finish after setting the top qualifying time. Meanwhile, fellow Scout FTR750 privateers Henry Wiles and Johnny Lewis placed inside the top 10 with a fifth and eighth place finish, respectively. Mees and Cose each won their semi-final race and earned the top-two starting positions in the Main. After trailing initially, Mees was able to pass several riders and capture the lead. Cose ran the majority of the race from the third position and was able to hold off the fourth-place finisher, who was challenging for that final podium spot for the majority of the race. “We’re entering an important stretch of the season right now, as Texas kicks off six straight weeks of racing,” said Mees. “To start this run off with a victory is huge. I want to thank Indian Motorcycle, my team and all the fans for their continued support. With Texas in the books, we’re on to Calistoga.” Cose’s third-place finish marked the third time a privateer has podiumed with the championship-winning Scout FTR750. In 2017, on his first race aboard the Scout FTR750, Johnny Lewis reached the podium with a third-place finish at the Texas Half-Mile. “To see Chad reach the podium for the first time in his career was amazing,” said Gary Gray, Vice President – Racing, Technology & Service for Indian Motorcycle. “He’s feeling comfortable and riding well on the Scout FTR750, and we couldn’t be more excited to see him compete in these upcoming races.” In a highly competitive night, a number of riders crashed and were unable to finish. Among those were Wrecking Crew Riders Brad Baker and Bryan Smith. Baker went down in his heat and suffered a mild concussion, while Smith was involved in a multi-rider crash in Semi 1. Both have reported to be okay, though, their status for the Calistoga Half-Mile on May 5 is currently unknown. Through three races Mees leads the pack with 50 points. Wiles, who has finished fourth and fifth the last two races on his Scout FTR750 is currently second with 46 points. Despite missing the Main in Texas, Kenny Coolbeth Jr. sits in the fourth position with 36 points. The Indian Wrecking Crew and stable of privateers aboard the Scout FTR750 will continue its season on May 5 at the Calistoga Half-Mile.

Motorcycle News - EMPIRE OF THE FUN. Officine 08’s ‘New Dawn’ Yamaha XV750 Cafe Racer
https://ift.tt/2HAG8C5 Written by Andrew Jones EICMA’s November 2017 show, held in a typically chilly Milan, is the place that many big manufacturers choose to reveal their new metal. This last event saw us flooded with new bikes, including the Royal Enfield 650 Twins, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 and the superb new Kawasaki Z900RS. But hidden away from all the glitz, glamour and wildly inappropriate booth babes was this little gem. From Italy’s Officine 08, it’s a Yamaha Virago cafe with a unique mix of the very traditional and the very unique which definitely has our Nippon-loving radars a-pinging. Officine 08’s Michael d’Angiolo takes up the story. “The origin of this bike is pretty simple; a customer showed up last autumn asking for a custom bike. He didn’t even own a bike at the time, he just showed us some photos he took from the internet. They were of Viragos done in a cafe racer style. He didn’t give us precise directions, instead he just told us to give it a similar cafe racer touch.” Sounds like a dream brief, don’t it? One week later, he came back with a ‘93 Yamaha XV750 he’d just bought. The only downside? The bike was the ‘newer’ version with twin rear shocks as opposed to the original design’s central monoshock. “It’s a nightmare to work on when compared to the older monoshock version, but we obviously accepted the challenge.” The first thing done was cutting off the rear – and decidedly most fugly – part of the frame. “We smoothed unnecessary brackets and fabbed up new ones to accommodate a bolt-on subframe and a new monoshock, which was taken from a Ducati 750 Supersport. We then made the new subframe and, because all the electrics would be hidden in the rear of it, an aluminum cover was shaped to protect the components and smoothly follow the lines of the subframe.” The rear swingarm was seriously modified in order to convert the bike from twin rear shocks to the desired mono. A trellis was fabbed and TIG welded to the swingarm, which may seem like a seriously difficult job, but the part that took the longest was the 2-into-1 pie cut exhaust manifold. “It was inspired by a bike Christian from Plan B built some years ago. We wanted it to look intricate and tricky.” We think they may have met the brief. “We decided to swap the original Yamaha tank with a BMW R45 unit, instead of the now clichéd Benelli Mojave replica. Some minor adjustments were made to accommodate it and we cut and moved the gas cap to the right hand side of the tank. The battery was then moved from its original position to the front of the bike, under the front cylinder.” A bespoke aluminium cover was fabricated to hide it while also managing to add plenty of ‘wow’ to the bike’s overall look.
“We decided to swap the original tank with a BMW R45 unit, instead of the now clichéd Benelli Mojave replica.”
The small cafe aluminium fairing was handmade and the speedo bracket was 3D printed in ABS plastic. The Bermuda Triangle of factory wiring was ditched in favour of a Motogadget m-unit which was also hidden under the rear portion of the seat. Other little but unique touches on the Yamaha abound, including a hidden three-beam projector light mounted just below the bike’s bottom triple, a mean-looking oval end can that swaps sides when you least expect it and a Uni air filter that, despite its own outlandishness, still manages to look great. “Finally, we decided to give the Yamaha more of a cafe look by adding a pair of clip-ons, some racing push buttons and a Domino fast throttle.” Then to match the ‘bar’s new jaunty look, the footpegs were pushed back using two handmade ergal plates. “Everything, except the silencer and the paintjob was made in-house by Officine 08,” notes Michael, proudly. And judging by the EICMA crowd’s response, he’s not the only one who’s happy with the work.

F1 News - Red Bull: Honda engine talks begin for 2019 season
https://ift.tt/2Frb5Tn ![]() Red Bull have begun formal talks with Honda about the possibility of becoming their engine partner in 2019. Honda motorsport chief Masahi Yamamoto told the F1 website the talks were "positive" and added: "It's the starting point for a potential future. "We discussed the conditions of both sides, what we expect of each other." Red Bull have to decide by mid-May whether to use Honda next year or stay with Renault, whose engines they have used since 2007. Renault told Red Bull last September that it did not want to continue with the team in 2019 but the car company's contract with F1 contains a clause that dictates it must supply Red Bull with engines if asked to do so. Red Bull negotiated a deal for Honda to switch from McLaren and supply its junior team, Toro Rosso, this year, as a way of assessing the Japanese engines. With the Renault engine in one of the Red Bull teams and the Honda in the other, the soft drinks giant has a unique opportunity to compare the two power units. Insiders say that Red Bull believes the Honda engine is only about 12bhp down on the Renault following improvements over the winter and it is understood the team is strongly leaning towards taking a gamble and switching to Honda. Engine manufacturers technically have to tell the governing body, the FIA, which teams they will be supplying next season by 15 May, and Renault is pushing for an answer from Red Bull by then. However, last year the deal for McLaren to switch from Honda to Renault engines and Toro Rosso to move the other way was not completed until September, so the decision could potentially be made later if necessary. Yamamoto said: "It's something we are starting to discuss now and it has to be smooth between Honda and Red Bull. "I want to use the time we have left to discuss with the Honda board members before I take the feedback back to Red Bull to take the next steps." Red Bull and Renault won four consecutive world title doubles together from 2010-13, but have had a fractious relationship since turbo hybrid engines were introduced into F1 in 2014. Renault have proved incapable of producing an engine that matches Mercedes and Ferrari - especially in qualifying trim. Tensions have continued this year because Renault are still struggling to keep reliability under control, as well as failing to introduce the extra power-boost modes used by Mercedes and Ferrari in the final parts of qualifying. Honda struggled with reliability through its three seasons with McLaren, who blamed the engine for the team's lack of competitiveness. However, since McLaren switched to Renault it has become clear that Honda was nowhere near as far behind the other engine companies as McLaren said and that their car was also responsible for their performance deficit. #F1 via BBC Sport - Formula 1 https://ift.tt/OHg7x6 April 30, 2018 at 07:42AM

F1 News - Hamilton says Vettel broke rules in Baku
https://ift.tt/2HGSt3Q ![]() Lewis Hamilton has accused title rival Sebastian Vettel of breaking the rules behind the safety car during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Mercedes driver Hamilton said Vettel drove dangerously by slowing down and speeding up repeatedly. The Briton said he would be seeking clarification on what was allowed from FIA Formula 1 director Charlie Whiting before the next race in Spain. "You are not allowed to start and stop, start and stop," said Hamilton. "You're not allowed to fake the guy behind. "If there was not that rule, that's what you'd do because eventually you'd catch them sleeping." Hamilton said the Ferrari driver had also behaved in this manner at a restart after a safety car period during the opening race in Melbourne. "In Australia he accelerated and braked and I nearly went into the back of him and (in Baku) he did it four times and I need to speak to Charlie, because I don't understand. "I understand he passed it to the stewards but they didn't do anything. They supposedly said everyone was doing it. But we're the leaders and it cascades down, what the first car does everyone does the same thing. "That now sets a precedent, and it means everyone who is leading under a safety car can start-stop, start-stop. "I need to get it rectified when I have the briefing next because clearly they don't care about it. And if that's the case we will see more of it. I will expect it from him next time and I will try to prepare." Vettel had finished his media engagements by the time Hamilton made his remarks. BBC Sport has asked for a response. The F1 sporting regulations say: "In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car returns to the pits, from the point at which the lights on the car are turned out drivers must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre which is likely to endanger other drivers or impede the restart." Whiting said at a media briefing after the race on Sunday: "I think they controlled it very well but it's up to the leading driver only. Unlike other series they have an acceleration zone, a 300-metre zone where they can accelerate and I do not see any problem at all." #F1 via BBC Sport - Formula 1 https://ift.tt/OHg7x6 April 30, 2018 at 07:00AM
