• Indy MotoGP Roadtrip

  

  This past weekend was spent in Indianpolis for the MotoGP race.  It was a great time as seven of us made the road trip down, with my dad, brother Bob (Watson) and a few other buddies all riding down, while Gina and I drove Bob's truck as the "support vehicle".  ...

• The Quick Shift Advantage, With Chicken Hawk

  

  A popular question asked by many is what's the actual advantage in using a Dynojet Quickshifter.  It eliminates the use of the clutch and having to roll-off the throttle when up-shifting, but is that really advantageous?  David Podolsky of Chicken Hawk Racing went to Mark Rozema's dyno in New Jersey to find out.  Below you can read ...

• Shoulder Surgeries

  If you've ever injured your shoulder, give this a read.  The pictures alone are worth checking out, seeing some photos of what actually happens during arthroscopic surgery.  Being through extensive shoulder surgery myself, I find this all pretty interesting.  One of my fears after breaking my collarbone this past April was that I might have reinjured my shoulder.  Fortunately that wasn't the case, but I'd like ...

• WERA Round 9: BeaveRun Recap (Tough and Tight)

  

   Joe, Doug and I left early Friday morning for the Beave.  We swung by Honda East on the way to pick up the bike as Tom had taken it back with him from Grattan.  After being thrown up on the dyno, the bike was running well, although down a little on horsepower compared to the more ...

• WERA Round 8: Grattan CCW Recap (The Season Starts Now)

  

  Leading up into this past weekend, things were fairly questionable before Grattan.  My dad left Friday for the track, while I stayed back at home waiting for the motor to be finished by Jamie Hanshaw.  Upon hearing the good news Saturday morning that it was ready, I picked it up ...

• A Voice of Encouragement

  

  With the front springs and numbers changed on the bike, but no motor in sight until Friday at best (but more likely Saturday), I was ready to concede Grattan and hoped to be ready for BeaveRun next weekend.  As an added bonus, one of the screws holding the plate to my collarbone had started to back out and was now visible ...

• A Spring and an Engine

  Two key components that we're working on right now before the next race.  While it's a bit of a long shot to be ready for Grattan next weekend, we do have the new spring in-hand to install which I think will aid in the confidence I've been missing in the front end.  We're also working on getting the motor ready.  We had to find a replacement, ...

• AMA Mid-Ohio Recap (Thur-Sun)

  

  After the motor blew in Friday morning's practice, the five of us stood together and talked about what we were going to do.  We had started off the weekend officially in 23rd out of 40 bikes in Formula Extreme.  A solid start and nearly in the top half of the ...
