This will be our Lemons Mini. Lemons racing is endurance racing in cars that cost no more than $500. On the way here on a trailer, a stop at a coin car wash knocked off the worst of the grime from a big oil leak. This is the 2nd wash. Three more baths followed. Stay tuned and try not to get mixed up between the Blue Mini Race Car that is getting a built engine and the Yellow Lemons Mini that will become an endurance racer.

I took my new TTR125LE out for my first ride on it yesterday. The trail riding around here is not quite as good as trail riding in Hawaii. The purpose of this bike is improving my riding skills by practicing and racing on kart tracks. Follow along on the build. The first event will be a M1GP Track Day & 2 Hour at Apply Valley Raceway on May 1st.

The lift is installed. The Mini has been washed. The new high performance engine is late with parts on backorder. Time to let Lindemann Engineering have a go. The Plan: Remove the engine. Fix whatever is broken. Improve engine performance. Improve the cooling system. Force more cooler air in and let more hot exhaust out. Make the car lighter. Improve the suspension and set up. Improve whatever else we think of. Stay tuned.

The first photo of my next race bike. It’s a ttr125LE, of course. Stay tuned to follow the build. The fist race is May 1st, a 2 hour.

Nice work, Scott.

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.

81-year-old Tony Serra clinched his sixth club level class championship at Willow Springs on November 26^th, 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.
