Welcome EDventure Racing Clients
I’m too busy to keep up with two blogs and my FB page so all the EDventure Racing posts have been moved here. The EDventure blog will go into hibernation and all new EDventure Racing posts will be made here and on my Ed Sorbo FB page. Enjoy!

Jai’s ZX-10
Box O Forks
Check out the note Rich Oliver put on the box of Mystery School forks he sent me and the note I’m sending back.
There are 5 forks in this box and they are on their way back to duty because Albert rode his R-6, with LE suspension and EDventure Racing welded engine case damage, over here on Saturday and spent the day re-building them.
It was a busy day. Jim had 2 big AC units on wheels that he used when needed at the old shop. Tice installed one of them in the wall of my shop right over my LE work station. That’s so cool.
As they say in Hawaii, Mahalos to Albert and Tice.
Dave Price
He may be older than you. His bike may be older than your bike. He may spent too much time outside painting houses for a living. He may even do whatever his wife tells him to do.
But if you want to beat him this weekend in MotoYard’s Wild West Shoot-Out you better bring your best game because Dave Price is sponsored by Lindemann Engineering. At LE Suspension is NOT, just a word.
His bike will not wobble, his bike will not skip, his bike will not chatter, his bike will not dip, his bike will not jive nor will it jinx. Dave and his bike will perform in the heat, like Curiosity on Mars.
Lindemann Engineering will operate out of the Roadracing World garage with Dave and his bike. We have room for one more racer who want to share the cost.
LE is offering free suspension set up help to all Wild West Shoot-Out racers in all classes. Just bring your bike over and tell Ed Sorbo what is wrong, a few clicks and your machine will sing at full song.
Wild West Shoot-Out
Lindemann Engineering Offers Free Suspension Setup To Every Racer Entered in Wild West Shootout At Willow Springs
You read it right.
Lindemann Engineering is supporting the Motoyard/Dunlop/Nexx-USA Wild West Shootout at Willow Springs International Raceway by offering free suspension setup assistance to every racer entered.
The Dunlop spec tire event scheduled for Aug. 11-12 will include 14 races, and Lindemann will provide setup assistance to any racer who comes by the Roadracing World garage on Saturday and Sunday. There is no obligation to purchase anything, no contract, no fee and no requirement to run Lindemann Engineering stickers on your racebike.
“Free means free,” says Ed Sorbo, owner of Lindemann Engineering. “I’m confident that racers will be so pleased with the handling of their bikes that they will become Lindemann Engineering customers for the rest of their racing careers.”

Busy!
The last few weeks have been so busy that someone sent me an offer to do my blog posts for a fee, can’t have that, so:
Track days, tracks days, track days! MotoYard had a bunch of track days plus I worked two race weekends and 5 jobs showed up on the same Friday when I was leaving for a track weekend. Things are back to normal now schedule-wise and I should be caught up on shop jobs by the en of this week.
The Memorial Day weekend was big. On Sat & Sun MotoYard was at Streets then we moved to Willow for Monday. Lindemann Engineering worked with 24 clients on Monday, what a day!
This past weekend at Willow with WERA Tony continued to improve on his Ninja and my TZ. Andy won the 250 GP battle and John made a last lap T-9 pass on both the guys he was racing to take 2nd.
Andy still thinks I’m a Fucking Genius and so do a few others.
Claims that Lindemann Engineering’s Ed Sorbo is a “Fucking Genius” may be true.
In WERA racing at Miller Motorsports Park this past weekend, riders supported by Lindemann Engineering won races, set personal best lap times and generally had a great time blasting around a fun, safe track with a great club.
Starting with the youngest: Kenny Anderson took two wins, Heavyweight SB Novice & F-II Novice as well as a second in 125 GP. This was his first visit to Miller. Kenny rode two RS125’s tuned by his hard working Dad, Eric. Both bikes have suspension that has been valved and sprung by LE.
Kenny’s hard working Dad, Eric some how found time to ride his ZX-6R with LE fork valving and had a blast.
Scott Reavey rode his SV650 to a new personal best at Miller of 2:06, 1.5 sec better than last years time! Scott says “Oh yah, I also got my 1st ever win in Lightweight Twins and a 3rd in F-2.” Scott’s forks have been valved and sprung by LE and he has a custom Penske shock by LE.
Team Short Bus’s Andy Kenefick was so happy when he called while driving home that I could only understand a few things he said, like: “I went faster every time I went out.” And “You are a Fucking Genius!” Andy seems to like the job LE did re-valving and re-spring the stock shock on his ‘06 GSXR 750. His forks already had a kit installed with the correct springs, LE adjusted the valving and look what happened. Andy decided to have LE valve his suspension after we adjusted his clickers at a CVMA race and he dropped 5 seconds off his best lap time.
In other news: Albert rode his R-6 with LE valving at a Streets of Willow track day and went two seconds faster than he ever has and with less drama.
About Ed Sorbo: He’s OK with being called a Fucking Genius.
