Hello ThrottleJunkie’s! Hope your all well. I sure missed ya’all last race day. I received some pretty cool emails asking if all is OK (thanks). I am. And will see you on Sunday, mic in hand!
I want to remind everyone the Moto-X-Kidz Summer Race Series group photo will be taken this Sun 8-3-2008, race day at the Kal-Gard Motorsport Complex. So wash your gear, comb your hair and brush those pearly whites. Or not, … if that’s how you roll!
“The series race results are here”. Just a mouse click away, so check em out! We have more than a few close points chases going on. Yup, never a dull moment at a Moto-X-Kidz race series! So Kidz, “bee prepared”. Eat your Wheaties, and for Pete’s sake get to bed early for once – without complaining!
Want better lap times ? … Then ive got the goods!
Study the track before you race and find your strong points. Walk the track. Look carefully to see where you thrive, and hang-it out there. Of course a good start is about the best way to make time. But with 5 laps to go, you can win races in many places. Especially in the turns.
Look for the lines that suit you best, and you’ll pick up a few seconds. Be sure to look for alternative lines too. You wont pass by following the guy in front of you! “Bee creative”
Here’s a little racing advice ive picked up from pro’s …
#1 – “Race the track, not your competition”. Forget about other the riders the best you can. See them only as obstacles! The better you can do this, the calmer and therefore more consistent you will be.
#2 - “Never ride above your ability or take chances, “Never”. Your better off to be safe and race another day. One crash or bobble will cost you time, a race or worse. So race safe and be consistent. Champions are made with consistency. This is fact.
“You don’t have to take first place to win a series, but you do have to finish well ” – thus says Canard, Stewart, Reed & Carmichael to name a few! Ya, im pretty sure they know waz-up
#3 – “Check your tire pressure before each Moto”. Tire pressure alone makes a huge impact on your bikes handling and traction. So check before you head to the race gate – every moto, every time! Make this habit, like checking your fuel. This is commonly neglected, and a simple way to better lap times, or a win!
The above advice comes directly from persons I have met or interviewed, guys that get paid to race! More to come . See ya at the track ~! “Ride Fast, Pray Hard, Give It All You Got”

More than 4.3 million women motorcyclists are on the road. July 16, 2008
Columbus, OH – July is Women’s Motorcycle Month, and Nationwide Insurance has teamed with the AMA’s Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum to salute female riders and support all women who enjoy the open road on two wheels.
“There are more than 4.3 million women motorcyclists on the road today, and more are joining our ranks every day,” said Beth Hazen, a motorcyclist and Nationwide Insurance agent. “Women’s Motorcycle Month celebrates the pioneers who broke down gender and racial barriers in the early days of motorcycling, and we hope their stories inspire even more women to consider getting out on bikes or scooters this summer.”
According to the Motorcycle Industry Council’s most recent research, the number of women motorcycle riders increased 34 percent between 1998 and 2003. Today, major manufacturers report annual increases in sales to women and actively court female riders. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation says women make up nearly 30% of students in its learn-to-ride Basic RiderCoursesSM across the United States.
Many remarkable women have blazed a path on two wheels. Here, Nationwide salutes four who have been named to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
Adeline and Augusta Van Buren: In 1916, Adeline and Augusta rode to coast to coast on Indian motorcycles – the first women to make the transcontinental journey solo on two motorcycles. The sisters rode to convince the military that women were capable of serving as dispatch riders. Although they were unsuccessful in that mission, they were able shatter many of the early twentieth century’s stereotypes about women.
Bessie Stringfield: In the 1930s and 1940s, Bessie – a female, African-American motorcyclist – broke down barriers by completing eight solo cross-country tours and serving as a U.S. Army motorcycle dispatch rider. During these tours, she rode fearlessly through the deep South when racial prejudice was a tangible threat. Bessie rode her first motorcycle, an Indian, at the age of 16 and went on to own 27 Harley-Davidsons.
Dot Robinson: In the mid-twentieth century, Dot paved the way for women motorcyclists. In 1939, she and fellow motorcyclist, Linda Dugeau, began Motor Maids of America. Today, Motor Maids is thriving and is the oldest motorcycling organization for women in North America. Dot also opened doors for women in motorcycle competition. An enduro racer, in 1940, Dot became the first woman to win in AMA national competition.
“These women are inspiring to all riders,” said Mark Mederski, executive director of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. “And, the Hall of Fame encourages motorcyclists to nominate more remarkable women for inclusion.”
Women who have been considering two wheels and are inspired by Women’s Motorcycle Month have many resources available to help them learn to ride. Nationwide’s Hazen offers three tips for getting started.
Websites such as www.motorcycles.org, www.msf-usa.org and www.AmericanMotorcyclist.com provide information on everything from locating a safety course in your area to buying proper riding gear.
Find a local dealership where you feel welcome and learn about different motorcycles before purchasing. Sit in the saddle and check out the practical aspects, such as making sure both of your feet can easily rest on the ground and determining if handgrips, controls, and mirrors are easy to reach and operate.
Join a women’s motorcycle club in your area. Not only do these clubs allow women to enjoy the community of riding, many also focus on charity work.
