Coolbeth And Factory Harley Place Sixth At Springfield. Mees Stretches His Grand National Series Lead to 12 Points Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle® Factory Team rider Kenny Coolbeth finished sixth in the AMA Pro Harley-Davidson Insurance Grand National Championship race on the Springfield Mile at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The race was won by Bryan Smith on the Crosley Radio Kawasaki. South East Harley-Davidson rider Sammy Halbert rode a Harley-Davidson®  XR750 motorcycle to finish second, and Rogers Racing/Blue Springs Harley-Davidson rider Jared Mees was third, also on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle “Everybody was racing really well today, and the Factory Harley was right in there but we just didn’t quite have enough power to pass on the straights,” said Coolbeth. “There was just one line in the corners, and if I went high I lost traction. It was one of those races where you needed to be patient and wait for the rider in front to make a mistake, but that just didn’t happen today.” Zanotti Racing/Schaeffer`s Harley-Davison rider Jake Johnson took the lead at the start of the 25-lap main, heading a pack that included Mees, Coolbeth, USC Kawasaki rider JD Beach, Halbert, and Smith. That group shuffled positions at the front for the duration of the race. Smith took the lead on lap six but could not shake Halbert, Mees and Johnson, who were never more than a tenth of a second back. Beach and Coolbeth fell just off the pace but remained within striking distance of the lead, less than a second from the front. At the finish, Smith nipped Halbert by 0.041 seconds, with Mees 0.263 seconds behind. Beach moved up to fourth on the last lap, followed by Johnson in fifth place and then Coolbeth, just 0.826 seconds back from first place. Earlier in the day, Smith also won

Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle®/Vance & Hines rider Andrew Hines scored a holeshot win over his teammate, Ed Krawiec, in the final round of the O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Nationals at zMAX Dragway to earn his fifth event win of the season and keep the Harley-Davidson team undefeated in 11 events during 2012. Facing each other in the final for the fourth time this season, Hines and Krawiec came to the line on Harley-Davidson® V-Rod® motorcycles finished in brilliant Hard Candy paint – purple for Krawiec and green for Hines – a throwback to the classic metal flake finish of the 1970s. They then staged a classic drag race. Krawiec had the faster Elapsed Time at 6.858 seconds, but Hines left the line 0.008-second sooner and won with a 6.862 ET, winning by 0.0042 second, or about a foot at the finish line.   “I’ve lost to Ed three times in the finals this season, so I guess I’m due,” said Hines, who earned his 30th National event win, tying him with crew chief, older brother, and fellow three-time PSM World Champion, Matt, for class wins. “Both Harley V-Rods were really evenly matched all weekend, so I knew it would take a good start to win the final, and it was a great race. Now that we are into the Countdown events, we came in here feeling like we had to defend our undefeated record in the regular season. Everything has reset and we need the points, so this was a great start for the team.” Krawiec was the top seed when the points were reset among the top ten riders for the six-race Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship playoffs. But it was Hines who set the pace in qualifying, with a 6.851 ET that just nipped Krawiec’s 6.853-second run. That

  Motorsports Liquidator, the purchaser of Excess Aftermarket Inventory now sells Repairable Motorcycles. Starting September 1st Motorsports Liquidator purchases and sells repairable motorcycles. These motorcycles presently have salvage titles. To ease the process Motorsports Liquidator places the motorcycles into one of four categories, provides a complete written description and photos of the bike with close-up shots of all damage: Tier 1:  Cosmetic Damage ONLY – Runs and Rides, will pass safety inspection, has some dents and scratches Tier 2:  Structural Damage / Limited – Runs and Moves under its own power, NOT able to be ridden due to damage Tier 3:  Structural Damage – Runs, does NOT move under its own power due to damage Tier 4:  Structural Damage – Does NOT Run or Move under its own power   “This is a great opportunity for dealers to offer their customers a true entry level priced motorcycle and significantly increase their profit margin. Once repaired, it’s a simple matter of having the bike safety inspected by the proper authorities to get a registerable title. If you’re not interested in taking on the inspection process we can do it for you,” Simms said.  “Now if a business needs to sell excess inventory or is interested in repairable motorcycles, they only need to make one call!”

It’s always an adventure.
