Meet Elmo and Jen of trackexperience.com

One of the things I loved about learning to race in Hawaii with a small group of people was sharing our motorcycles with each other. It’s a great way to broaden your experience, it’s fun and it brings more people into our sport. Endurance races are another good way to get new people racing.

Jen has been letting her friends ride Elmo for some time now at trackexperience.com track days. I first learned about this from FB posts by enthusiastic riders who are now hooked. Jen built Elmo as a way to get more woman riding and to help grow the Femmewalla Race class of CVMA, it’s working.

If you have the chance, I think the risk of damage to your bike can be balanced with the joys of sharing our sport.

You can check out photo’s of Elmo’s build and the riders who have taken him out on Jen’s FB page:

The Mystery School’s Rich Oliver stopped by to visit Lindemann Engineering over the weekend while Tony Serra was hanging out. Between us we have a few number one plates.

You can see my five from Hawaii and there is a stack of WERA Regional #1 plates as well. Three of my Hawaii plates were earned on the same ‘93 TZ 250 that Rich used to earn one of his five AMA Pro 250GP #1 plates. He also has WERA and F-USA championships for a total of seven #1 plates. But Tony puts both of us in our places by earning his two #1 plates at the ages of 72 and 74 years young.

Lindemann Engineering is proud to be a sponsor of both The Mystery School and of Tony Serra.

Yesterday was just another day test riding motorcycles in the sunshine for “Roadracing World.”  We were at CVR with Rickdickulous Racing.  Be sure to read what my office days are like in this Middleweight Shootout.

Lindemann Engineering is the official 2017 Suspension Vendor for 2WheelsTrackDays. http://www.2wheelstrackdays.com/ We joined 2WTD at Willow Springs this past weekend and enjoyed their event. I like things to be well organized and I’m pleased with the job they did.

Our next 2WTD event will be Friday, April 7th at CVR. Check out the LE Calendar page for all our events.

This photo shows the LE set up at Willow.

Eric opened a Snack Pack near me. I stole one of his crackers thereby unbalancing the cheese/sausage/cracker ratio. I’m sorry Eric, here is a make up cracker. Also a reminder for everyone to charge and store your transponders after the race weekend is over.

Two hours of racing with M1GP on a cold windy day at Streets of Willow, Middle Course, Counter Clockwise, using the tight infield turns not the skid pan saw the Iceman Racing 250 Ninja, running in the 250 class, take the overall victory by one lap over #00 on a 400cc Open Class bike.  Riders Eric Anderson and Ed Sorbo went for the relaxed 1/2 hour rides, three rider change but no fuel pit stop strategy that included conversations about track conditions during each stop.

For Sorbo this was the 65th different track he’s ridden on so far.

Rebuild, re-valve, re-spring and anodize the tubes.  Lindemann Engineering can give your stock suspension any Spring Rate, any Pre-Load and any Valving I want.
