New Oklahoma Off-Road Race Series
We have always felt that the best way to learn how to ride a motorcycle is out in the dirt. It teaches you a lot about the bike moving around underneath you, how to fall (and get back up) and how not to fall. With that said our roving reporter, Jason Hubbert, participated in an Oklahoma racing series after gaining a little confidence with his KTM dirt bike. Here's what he learned from the..
Great Series with an Odd Name
The ATV Motion series is quickly becoming Oklahoma’s premier dirt bike racing series. As a dirt newbie, I’ve talked with several fellow Oklahoma dirt bikers about racing, asking where to get started. The answer was, consistently, ATV Motion. Since then I have attended ATV Motion races as both a spectator and a rider. Even though I don't ride an ATV, making this race my first event was wonderful advice.
Kevin O’Laughlin is the owner and series promoter of ATV Motion. I talked with Kevin and found out that the ATV Motion series will be getting a new name in 2013: “The Oklahoma Hare Scramble Championship Series.” Scroll down for a link to their website. There you can find information about classes, race fees, rules and event schedules.

Saving Weight, Gaining Electrons
I recently had to replace the battery on my personal ride. It was time. The original gel cel, lead acid type battery that came with the BMW was just over 6 years old and I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. I attribute it's long life to constant use. Sitting around, slowly discharging is hard on a battery of most types and my bike doesn't do much "sitting around."
When shopping around for a new one, I looked up the type and size and started checking around. One option I found, was one of the new Lithium Ion type. This is the newest, yet tried technology for auto/motorcycles and I couldn't find any downside to using one.
After deciding that it would work in my bike, I went down to my local shop of choice (Kinetic Playground) and ordered up an 8 cell EVO2 Ballistic battery to fit. When it came in the next day, I was very happy with the choice.

Vintage Bikes & Barbecue
Sunday marked another great vintage bike show and barbecue at Brookside Motorcycle Company in Tulsa. The variety of bikes on display was once again a potpourri of V-twins, dirt bikes, scooters- even a rare Mattel bicycle!

Finish of the Cannonball
Finishing
Well the finish of the Cannonball did not go like Team Seaba would have liked.
After changing the motor out on Friday night with a loaner motor and missing day
15, we thought everything was good. Starting out this morning, our loaner motor was
trying to seize up a few miles after the start, so I rode the backup V-Strom. It was a
nice route heading south on Highway 1. Once we rolled into San Francisco the local motorcycle club supplied lunch
at the base of the Golden Gate bridge. Then it was an escorted ride over
the bridge and down to Dudley Perkins Harley-Davidson to a huge
crowd waiting for us.
