  GET ON THE TRACK… Get off those dangerous canyon roads. “Chief”  AHRMA #013  *BA-MOTO RACING * 2005 Triumph Thruxton. Big Thank You to: British Customs, Scorpion Exo, Racetech, Racer 13 and Ricky Brown.     BA-MOTO  I noticed we had 2 crash Triumph Thruxton bikes at the shop we had bought for parts, etc, and I asked them what the plan was. They said they didn’t know but they both worked so I made an offer to be in partners with them to help pay for them to build a race bike. BA-MOTO racing was born. The guys all came together on the bike and got it ready for our first track day.  We drove to  Infineon Raceway with ...

    We ride because we like to be outdoors, and camping fills that bill.  But like any respectable biker, I also enjoy a cold beer while soothing my tired muscles in a hot Jacuzzi after a long ride.  Writing/riding for a living, it suddenly dawned on me that there are hundreds of camping options in California that vary from a patch of sand on the beach to luxurious campsite living.

5) Brake dive blows. That diving sensation you get when you come to a stop light and the stock front suspension rapidly compresses and starts making clunky sounds as it hits bottom is a bad thing. OEM suspension is a compromise at best, as the factory has no idea how much you weigh or how hard you will ride. A set of Progressive rate springs or better yet a Monotube Fork Cartridge kit will virtually eliminate brake dive and return a controlled feel to the bike. Look no further than Progressive Suspension for your suspension needs. Hit the banner below and find out what's right for your ride. Advertisement

Barnes doggedly pursued his Bartels’ Harley-Davidson/Scrubblade teammate Tyler O’Hara for ten of the race’s eleven laps, never trailing by more than a half-second at the start/finish line, but just as it appeared that O’Hara would deny Barnes victory for the second race in a row, a missed shift by O’Hara exiting the final turn gave Barnes the narrow gap he needed to slip by for the victory. “Tyler’s ...
