Brainerd International Raceway in Northern Minnesota is no stranger to top-level racing, with a drag strip, two road courses, and even a jet ski lake tucked into the facility. What is new to BIR this year was King of the Baggers, arguably the biggest, wildest, two-wheeled race series in recent...
What is Build Train Race? Why is S&S involved? Are the racers really all girls?
These are just some of the questions we’ve been asked regarding our involvement in the BTR program. The brainchild of Royal Enfield’s US marketing guru, Bree Poland, the race series is far more than, well, a race...
Jon gives us a lesson on the S&S Stealth Air Cleaner and launches new camo gear. Dave falls in love with the new HD ST, but still hasn't finished his Dyna build. Matty gets pelted in Lima and the guys sign him up to stay in a teepee in Sturgis.
It's no secret that we love riding and encourage our entire company to participate in the annual Ride To Work Day. In light of current fuel prices, we've been forced to cut the Ride to Work Day budget, and the marketing team is doing it on Groms this year!
Jon and Dave are back at it with episode 18 of the Performance Times. They cover a crap ton of racing, donate Strider balance bikes to a local school and decide fuel costs may force them to ride Groms to work for the foreseeable future.
American Road Racing has a unique vibe, a very specific soundtrack, and until recently, a fairly purist approach to motorcycle competition. Across the last few decades, US-made V-Twins have come and gone from this upper echelon of two-wheeled racing, rarely drawing significant attention and...
Jon and Dave survive two weeks of Daytona Bike Week, drag their Social Media guy Matt to every chopper event and celebrate S&S race victories in Flat Track and King of the Baggers. Also, don’t ask Jon about camo hats.
What's new with the Indian/S&S King of the Baggers racing program? Better grab a beverage and get comfortable for this one. Looking back a few months, the team was asked to test on the banks of Daytona, and since then, MotoAmerica has locked down a doubleheader King of the Baggers race (first of...
Somehow Jon and Dave made it to season two of the Performance Times. Who let this happen?
They talk Daytona prep, Dave gushes over the new LowRider ST and Jon finally drops the new S&S Dixxon collab. Plus, the guys talk about the kabillion dollars of contingency money getting thrown at...
S&S has been building complete engines for decades and there are quite a few in the field. Many are now on their third and fourth owners and more often than not the original information on the engine has not made it to the new owner. Not surprisingly one of the most frequently seen tech questions...
Only a handful of bike shows have the energy of Mama Tried, maybe because it’s held in the dead of winter in the Midwest and we’re all jonesing for the two-wheeled life, maybe it’s the historic venue that frames the show, or maybe it’s just the insane caliber of bikes on the floor. No matter the...
If you're a fan of motorcycle racing antics, Flat Out Friday never disappoints. Born from the Mama Tried bike show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, FOF has evolved into a must-see winter event. For the uninitiated, Flat Out Friday has taken Hooligan racing (small track, big Sportsters) and added Boonie...
The 2021 American Flat Track Season has seen plenty of excitement, a few race cancellations (rain!), and a handful of spectacular get-offs (Johnny Lewis huck at the Atlanta TT comes to mind), but the last few doubles have been spectacular. We're talking about the Memphis Shades Springfield Mile II...
It's no secret that 2020 was a rough year for motorcycle events. So when we rolled into Orange County for Born Free 12, none of us were quite sure what the weekend would have in store. Would it be the biggest collection of the coolest choppers to date? Would just a few die-hard chopper dudes be...
