After this weekend I am well up for learning more Off-road techniques, and this looks like a good place to start!
A Motorcycle Journey with Colton Udall, Rory Sullivan, Kyle Redmond, and Colton Haaker, exploring the types of terrain that define today’s off-road racer. Visually stunning and equally entertaining, Red Tide Pictures brings you the best, explaining what they do the best: Ride. Technical endurocross, deep sand, high speed desert, and deep wooded trails: no problem. This is not your father’s “instructional,” Heck, it’s not even your older brother’s. We have redefined the term through new age cinema technology that truly displays the dynamic form of each individual’s unique skill set.
Yamaha's classic big single has a genuine heritage and pureness of design that sets it apart from some other 'retro' models. There can be no doubt that the SR400 is the real thing, and with an authentic engine and chassis specification and original kick start mechanism, this charismatic twin-shock thumper is aimed at the many riders who are looking to rediscover the very soul of motorcycling.
Our engineers wanted to ensure that the 2014 model is true to its original character, and so the only way to start the new SR400 is to kick it! Riders who may have owned an original SR400 or SR500 will remember that kickstarting the older models required something of a special technique which could take some time to master.
However, the good news for the new generation of SR400 owners -- and also for older riders who may be returning to this Yamaha big single -- is that the new fuel injection system ensures much easier starting. The bike now runs with a newly designed transistor ignition system that generates a better spark which also helps when starting the bike up. An indicator on the right side of the cylinder head shows when the piston is in the best position for starting, and a decompressor lever on the left side of the handlebars supports the rider in starting the engine smoothly. via Yamaha Motor
So, Halloween has passed, the whistles of the turbos from our #WeHaveBoost theme have died down and it’s time to get serious. Well, by serious, I mean heading to Vegas for a whirlwind of cars, meetings, cars, caffeine boosts, more cars and parties. Yep, it’s that time again – it’s SEMA Show time.
While the average person heads out to Vegas to indulge in a hedonistic cocktail of gambling, shows, glitz and glamour, the Speedhunters team will be rallying to take on the combined might of over 2000 cars spread over more than a million square feet.
We’ve already seen the first big SEMA car hit, in the name of the LB☆WORKS 458, but there’s bound to be other surprises still to come, and we’ll be right there to bring it all directly to your screens.
So whether we’re focusing on the homegrown muscle…
… contributions from other countries…
… motorsport offerings…
… or something for show, we’ll make sure we have it all covered. Make sure you stay tuned for our exclusive coverage from the event over the next few weeks!
Elsewhere in the world, Dino will be heading to Odaiba for the final round of the D1GP season.
With Naoto Suenaga and Masato Kawabata being within just two points of each other, this is another drift event that will go right down to the final round.
He’ll also be heading to the Tokyo Motor Show. With a theme of “Compete! And shape a new future”, it seems there will be an interesting blend of technologies looking to what’s to come…
… and cutting-edge design.
