I just moved to Il. and im looking for a place to ride. Thanks

Do you guys cover your slicks, or just keep them out of direct sunlight for winter???

:anim_peep:

Thanks,
Barry

Check this out. DRZ riders and fans of pure skill should be pretty impressed. I know I was.

For those who use Low lead race gas.

What do you do in the winter time for storage???

I emptied my carb bowl and the tank is full. Should i throw in some fuel stabalizer???

Hoverbikes? No wonder he seemed so fast. Zero co-efficient of friction.

Ok guys whos in, the next round is Dec 5-6 . Who wants to see Russel and Herrin bang bars?

Round two whos in. Who wants to see Josh Herrin and Scott Russel go bar to bar.Support the sport thanks MGKT.

a guy sent me some pics he found from a local race back in ‘07. it was my first ever competition and conditions were, well… interesting

for the record, in heat race 1 I went down every single lap :laughingr. heat race 2 was more fun, track marshals finally got the hint that the little piece of tarmac right after the offroad section that was covered in en inch of mud could use some cleaning up, so they got a little dozer to scrape away the dirt which helped A LOT!

at the end of the day I needed 30 minutes of constant jet washing to get all the hardened mud off my bike. my catch can was lost in a big chunk of dirt

Us northern people would like to see a race happen during bike week. Something like what happened last year at Starke only during the week so we have something to do before flat track, superbikes, and supercross on the weekends. Say maybe on Wed. Larry…….. can you help some brothers out????????

This bike was built for a one-off race at the US Open in Las Vegas for a local kid that was picked up by Yamaha. He was on a Suzuki for 09 for the supercross season and since that season officially ended and Yamaha picked him up for 2010, he needed a bike for one race, the US Open, before he gets a 2010 FI 450. So its an 09 YZ450F built to the hilt, hi comp piston, suspension done, etc. I’ll be using it for playing in the dirt and Supermoto racing. Alot cheaper than running a supersport 600 to build and crash

Looks like a Yamaha commercial… 09 YZ450, 07 TTR230, 05 TTR 125L, 03 TTR 125 and the lone Priller.

All the supermoto parts… slipper clutch, brembo brakes, and Excel wheels… waiting on slicks

I have just brought my motard to Jacksonville Florida and looking for places to race and practice locally. Also a am a CCS road racer with my motard…..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe a dumb question, but I am planning on participating in the STTARS race at Grange Nov. 14/15. I’ve talked to a few forks, but haven’t got the needed info. I basically have no racing experience(I’ve been riding sm for a year or so) and I don’t know what to expect. And also I don’t know how and what to do once I register/sign up. And does anyone camp onsite? Any info would be much appreciated. Sean

Hi everyone, I should have post these earlier but I havent got time this week. These pictures are from İzmir, Turkey.

This was my first race in supermoto and I have got 2 motocross races before.

On the left its me with the 30 number CRF450R 2008 and on the right Cengiz and his 79 number CRF450R 2009 bike. We were like honda team we went from İstanbul to İzmir together it takes 8-9 hour driving.

this is me on the qualifying.





This is Ata on the number 10 with ktm. He is really talented and best in Turkey. He has been riding motocross since he was kid and now doing sm and mx both and he was going like crazy


I fell down on qualifying Im not very used to do back it in’s so I lost control of the rear tire.

So here some of the superstock racers, they also got the race that weekend.

Me at the back with 30 number :Funny: after I fell in qualifying and was learning the track newly I wasnt second last on start. But I got awesome shot in start and pass 3 guys and get in to the 5th position

A cool picture of me

So these are the some pictures. It was really fun. After motocross it was really easy and fun I loved it but I also learned something too

NEVER EVER RIDE SUPERMOTO WITH MX GEAR!!! ITS REALLY PAINFUL WHEN YOU FALL.

I fell on the race while I was going on 4th gear with full speed on a big turn. I was leaning like supersport guys and some how my front tired slipped away, I wasnt accelerating or slowing down. I think my tire was old like 2 years, it wasnt finished but it got dried or something like that which occurs not sticky enough tires.

So anyway I felt down and slided all the way to the grasses on my but and my pants ripped of and my left butt injured badly. It is still in not very great condition. It has bandaged on it.

So you guys never ever ride supermoto with mx gear. Always get leather suit :thumbup:

Also racing is expensive and demanding but its much much more fun than riding on the streets.

I sold my DRZ and got CRF450R for racing and Im glade to done that :thumbup:

HELLO FROM TURKEY!!

Hey guys,
As some of you may or may not know my father is dying of prostate cancer. Rather than focus on the negative I’d like to channel my energy into something positive and I am going to put on an invitational event in Oregon to entirely benefit prostate cancer research. There are all kinds of events and groups for other kinds of cancer but not much for prostate cancer. Hopefully this will kind of hit home with everyone because literally any of us guys can become victims. I am still researching to find a worthy cause to benefit from the proceeds of this event. So far what I am envisioning is a invitational pro class with select amatuer support classes. I am wanting to make it a 2 day event so that it is worth everyones while to make the trip and get in as much riding as possible. I am trying to target a date that is late spring/ early summer. This event is in the very begining stages, and as things become for concrete I will keep updating. I am hoping to hold the event at P.A.R.C. (Pat’s Acres Racing Complex) in Canby Oregon. This is a very scenic venue and is my personal favorite place to ride. There have been Supermoto USA/ Nasmoto/ Oregon Superbikers events held there in the past. The facility is really great and is operated by a great family. Anyhow, I know it is really early to commit to anything but any of you riders that are interested in participating for a good cause please hit me up. If I have a pretty good list of people in attendance it will help me pitch this event to sponsors for it. Thanks in advance to everyone that may be interested in being involved.- Jeremy Kendall

We run events that are 2nd to none. (just ask Tony the only American to show up at the Supermoto X Fest and he doesn’t ride?? What’s that):nutkick:
Look, you want to ride, meet some great people, have a good time? :coffee:
Load her up Friday, have fun Saturday and be home Saturday night.
Sunday is yours with your family or rest up for work Monday.:hmmm:
See you at some real races. Shannonville Race. October 17.:arsenal
http://www.shannonville.com/

I’ve been talking to a few places and before I get too involved I need to know how far from the DC area (since that’s where the majority of y’all come from) you are willing to drive to race.
I’m just looking East, West & South since going North there are already good tracks within driving range.

hey guys

just trying to see if there information of people doing the road race conversion ala 450 road race conversions done by gavin trippe…it would have been a cool idea with our sumo since ours is street legal…

Hi guys,there is a race in medfod this sunday,check southern oregon karters website for times etc …Weather is looking good,70’s and partly cloudy.I’ll post more info later today…..

Just wondering if anyone out there has made/bought rear axle sliders that have integrated or incorporated spools for a standard rear race stand.

I heard on the grapevine somewhere that SME was going to make these but I haven’t seen anything on their site.

Mine’s a DRZ SM btw, but I’d like to see everything I can to formulate some ideas.

Cheers:thumbup:

Supermoto Racing News
Musselman Honda Circuit October 31 2009
11800 S. Harrison Road
Tucson, AZ 85750
520-245-5278
www.mhcircuit.com

Musselman Honda Circuit will be hosting the Spooky Tooth Death Race and the Hoodlums on Knobby’s Night with a Supermoto Race capping off an exciting Halloween night at the Circuit. The Spooky Tooth Death Race is a race that allows peddle bicycles with motors up to 49cc displacement. A very exciting race to say the least with an eclectic showing of bicycles.

We know it will bring out some real competition with a $250.00 1st place purse. To cap off the night we will have a Supermoto Race with a $250.00 Purse. Jake Holden, and his Corona Honda Superbike will be here as he makes Musselman Honda Circuit his winter practice track with his Supermoto bike and Shifter Kart. So come out to Meet Jake, Race or just be a spectator on a really fun night.

I keep forgetting to ask if anyone picked up my folding chair at the GJ race Rd8

I seem to be developing a bad habit of leaving crap at the races.

The worst is when it’s parts of my bike

We are trying to put on a big event at a big track (Shannonville RACE):bannana:

On Oct. the 17th it promisses to be a big one!
We even have a pavement only sportsman class and I can tell you the Nelson track is fast and furious.:arsenal

So…we need an idea of how many Americans are planning on coming up to challenge the Canuks?:hmmm:

Besides…Canadian beer is so much better for you.

Let us know who is up to it.

If there is enough interest from the local Supermoto community, I will petition the board to recognize SMUSA licenses for the weekend of October 3rd and 4th. There is one class on Saturday that is perfect for SM’s (Open Single),and another class on Sunday that any Supermoto will be outgunned but the bike is legal for (Lightweight Superbike).
The tech requirements are a bit more stringent, but basically beyond a belly pan (9X13 steel cake pan) it’s almost what PGP requires. Basics are below:

Safety wire requirements:
Axles (front and rear)
front pinch bolts
brake caliper bolts
radiator cap
oil fill and drain(s)
exhaust hanger bolts (any bolt in the exhaust system excluding the manifold bolts)
safety wire around master link (or rivet chain link)

Miscellaneous:
crankcase vent routed to a catch bottle or a plugged airbox
no lights or mirrors
wheel weights taped over
metal valve stem caps

Gear:
Full one piece or two piece zip together (full circumference zipper) leathers
Back protector
DOT or SNELL 2000 helmet
Gloves and boots

I know that it seems nit-picky, but the rules are there for a reason. maybe not a great one, but we all follow them. I will be more than happy to assist in the safety prep of any SM bike, just let me know and we can get it rolling.

Let me know, here or offline, if you are interested in running and I will approach the Executive Board and see if we can recognize alternate licenses. It would be great to get a grid full of idiots to bang bars on the big track, just remember to gear the bike appropriately…

Also, if anyone is interested I will have the YZ at the Adrenaline Freaks trackday Friday the 2nd, testing out my big track gearing. Come on out and play along, it’s great fun. If you sign up, make sure to mention my name, as I get a bit of a discount the more riders that I get involved with Adrenaline Freaks.

Thanks, and see you at the track!

That’s right our final race is coming up this Sunday at NJMP and the points chase is very tight in many classes. :bannana: Just 8 points separate the top 3 kids who are all riding at such an incredible level.:clap:

This race is being sponsored by Tom over at Powersports store and should be quite the season finale. www.powersportsstore.com :bowdown:

We will be running on the infamous Liberator which is the great equalizer.:thumbup: High HP bikes and light riders have less of an advantage as the Liberator is much more technical.:D

Hope to see everyone out at the track this Sunday for the best racing in the area.:coffee:

For those of you who were there it was a great weekend. Congratulations go out to all the Infineon Series Champions. I would like to apoligize to the Open Beginner class as I ran out of card space to be able to shoot your main. For all other classes please check out my site here www.zenfolio.com/mikedoran

I will have plenty of CF cards for the last round of the series so I will not miss any mains. I am also running an end of the year special, please see me at Stockton for details. Now here are a few images from this weekend.

I have rescheduled the kart race for the 18th so the Supermoto can run on the 11th as planned.

…..Like the title says…..

Has anyone ever run Michelin Pilot Power Race’s on their Sumo?

Just curious about warm up time…. and if a SUMO would generate enough heat to make them work properly. (did you have to use tire warmers…..or were a couple laps enough to get them going….)

What tire pressures were you running…..(COLD PSI)

BTW — Have tired the Pirelli SuperCorsa Pros….and REALLY liked them.

——– Have a Road-Race track-day coming up…..
