Want One?

My Naked 2017 SV650 looks a lot like Superbikes did when I started racing in the eighties.   I spent a lot of time making small changes that can’t be seen.  I can build one for you.  About $10,000 for the parts and labor.  You supply the bike.  Your build can be the same or different depending on the parts and mods you choose.  

 A serious inquiry will be by email and include your experience level and goals.  I can work with a new rider or a pro racer.  The build can happen in stages or all at once. 

I can be your crew chief and my rider coaching can include racing with you.

World’s Oldest Champ Retires

World’s Oldest Champ Retires

81-year-old Tony Serra clinched his sixth club level class championship at Willow Springs on November 26th, concluding a racing career that spanned seven decades.

Part one of Serra’s career started in 1964 with the Association of American Motorcycle Road Racers and concluded in 1970. A highlight for Serra was racing in the Junior Class of the 1968 Canadian GP at Mosport.

Part two of Serra’s career began in 2008 at the age of 68 when he rented a 250 Ninja from Race Bike Rentals for track days and Willow Springs Motorcycle Club races.  Serra purchased that motorcycle and hired Lindemann Engineering’s Ed Sorbo as his Crew Chief & Coach.  Serra is heavier than the kids he raced against and wanted more power for his 250 Ninja. Because adding a turbo to a 250 Ninja is impractical Sorbo offered his 1990 TZ 250.  Serra used it to earn his first club level championship.  In the 2010 WSMC Novice 250 GP Class, thus, becoming the world’s oldest motorcycle club level class champion at 71.  In 2011 Serra earned both the Novice 250 GP and Novice Ninja Cup Championships with WSMC. By 2013 Serra was an expert and clinched the Moto West GP Lindemann Engineering 250 Ninja Cup Championship.  In 2019 Serra earned the WERA West F Super Sport Expert Championship and in 2020 he concluded his second career by again earning the WERA West F Super Sport Expert Championship.

Of note:  Serra’s best TZ lap at Willow Springs is 1.44 and his best 250 Ninja lap is 1.47.  Serra’s racing accomplishments are unlikely to be matched however he wants to encourage everyone to pursue their dreams. The Serra Challenge does not require extraordinary skills. Tony Serra encourages you to do the thing that challenges you regardless of age and if it’s motorcycling, all you have to do to join Tony is go racing anytime between the ages of 68 and 81 years young.

Lindemann Engineering has been racing and enabling dreamers since 1982.

It’s time to add a Race Car Department to Lindemann Engineering. I’m looking for shop space in the Coachella Valley. If you have a Project Car Build, I’ll discount my labor rate in exchange for a nice deposit.

After a full day of Coaching & Crew Chief work, this guy took 4 seconds off his PB.  Loading up is easier after a successful day.  A big part of that improvement came after I took his bike for a lap and recommended a number of ergonomic changes.

I’ve been helping with a DIY RV build. Turning a Sprinter Van into a RV. I did a little welding to install a LP tank underneath. A bunch of wiring for the Shore Power, Power from the engine alternator and Solar Power. The photo’s are of the awning and the solar panels and WiFi antenna on the roof. All the stuff I learned from my ’76 Dodge RV and the 323,580 miles on my Ford RV are paying off.
