“Race Blu” – Spies and Lorenzo Give Us A Peak at Yamaha’s New Look for Next Year! | We Ride Motorsports

The Yamaha Factory MotoGP team riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies showed us the new Yamaha livery called “Race Blu” in Misano during the last MotoGP round – they also plan to race this livery for the upcoming round in Aragon.

You will find this Race Blu design in showrooms next year and available to Yamaha customers purchasing the 2013 YZF-R1, YZF-R6 and YZF-R125 models.  According to Yamaha, this will be the first time that a current MotoGP theme will be made available to consumers.

During a period where most competitors have taken the safe and conservative approach to showroom  livery design, it’s great to see that Yamaha is distinguishing itself.  We hope to see similar improvements throughout the industry.

Congratulations Laguna Seca – FIM World Superbike Returns in 2013 | We Ride Motorsports

Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca announced Friday that the FIM World Superbike Series will return to Laguna in 2013 and 2014.  They also announced that Laguna Seca will be the only stop in North America for the series in 2013.  Apparently, Miller Motorsports Park in Utah, the former North American home for the series, did not renew a contract with the series.  We regret to hear the news regarding Miller Motorsports Park; it’s a wonderful track.

The 2012 Riders

Earlier in the week, leaked Dorna 2013 schedules also reassured us that the MotoGP series would return to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.  Congratulations Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for securing both of the world’s premier racing series and for remaining one of America’s premier motorcycle destinations.

Kevin Schwantz Responds Again to Circuit of the Americas | We Ride Motorsports

Kevin Schwantz issued the following statement regarding his law suit against Circuit of the Americas (COTA) today:

In response to the legal action I filed last week, Circuit of the Americas (COTA) has issued a statement claiming I never had an agreement to conduct a MotoGP race at its facility.
COTA’s claim is false. In April 2011, COTA issued a press release with the headline “Texas Lands MotoGP for 2013; 10-year Deal Signed for Austin’s Circuit of the Americas.” This press release names my company, 3fourTexasMGP, as a party to the MotoGP agreement. It also claims COTA’s track “is the U.S. home to both the Formula 1 and MotoGP Grand Prix World Championships.”

COTA presumably used this agreement with me to entice ticket sales and to persuade elected officials to commit $250 million from the State of Texas’s Major Events Trust Fund. Once it had gotten all the mileage it could out of the agreement, as alleged in my lawsuit, COTA cut me out of the deal and attempted to get a cheaper contract with Dorna.Following COTA’s lead, Dorna has now publicly claimed that it has terminated my MotoGP contract. I’m not surprised that Dorna is now acting as a mouthpiece for COTA. As stated in my lawsuit, COTA has misled Dorna and encouraged it to terminate my contract. This unlawful conduct resulted in an announcement in June that they were finalizing details on the Texas race.

I am tremendously disappointed in my friends at Dorna, who appear to be forced into their current position by COTA. Hopefully, COTA won’t do to them what it did to me.

To cut through all the spin, here is what has happened. I had an agreement to conduct MotoGP races at COTA. COTA used the agreement to sell tickets and raise money. When the time came for COTA to honor its end of the bargain, it refused. COTA thought it could get a better deal by going around me and directly to Dorna. And that is exactly what it did.”

– – Kevin Schwantz, President of 3fourTexasMGP, LLC

Motorcycles Make You Smarter?! | We Ride Motorsports

Steve Jobs of Apple Computer – not a stupid guy – on his motorcycle (looking for his helmet maybe?)

Does the statement that riding a motorcycle will make you smarter sound absurd to you?  According to some scientists, it may be true.

There’s empirical evidence to prove that riding a motorcycle leads to improved brain function.  We thought that the following article was both thought provoking and potential ammunition that you might use when someone “pooh poohs” your love of motorcycles or asks why do you love to ride your motorcycle so much.

Feel free to refer back to this when you need to justify your next sport bike purchase or your next weekend excursion!

______________

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON A MOTORCYCLE

Riding a motorcycle every day might actually keep your brain functioning at peak condition, or so says a study conducted by the University of Tokyo. The study demonstrated that riders between the age of 40 and 50 were shown to improve their levels of cognitive functioning, compared to a control group, after riding their motorcycles  daily to their workplace for a mere two months.

Dr. Ryuta Kawashima

Scientists believe that the extra concentration needed to successfully operate a motorcycle can contribute to higher general levels of brain function, and it’s that increase in activity that’s surely a contributing factor to the appeal of the motorcycles as transportation. It’s the way a ride on a bike turns the simplest journey into a challenge to the senses that sets the motorcyclist apart from the everyday commuter. While the typical car-owning motorist is just transporting him or her self from point A to point B, the motorcyclist is actually transported into an entirely different state of consciousness.

Riding a motorcycle is all about entrance into an exclusive club where the journey actually is the destination.

Dr Ryuta Kawashima, author of Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain, reported the outcome of his study of “The relationship between motorcycle riding and the human mind.”

Kawashima’s experiments involved current riders who currently rode motorcycles on a regular basis (the average age of the riders was 45) and  ex-riders who once rode regularly but had not taken a ride for 10 years or more. Kawashima asked the participants to ride on courses in different conditions while he recorded their brain activities. The eight courses included a series of curves, poor road conditions, steep hills, hair-pin turns and a variety of other challenges.

What did he find? After an analysis of the data, Kawashima found that the current riders and ex-riders used their brain in radically different ways. When the current riders rode motorcycles, specific segments of their brains (the right hemisphere of the prefrontal lobe) was activated and riders demonstrated a higher level of concentration.

His next experiment was a test of how making a habit of riding a motorcycle affects the brain.

Trial subjects were otherwise healthy people who had not ridden for 10 years or more. Over the course of a couple of months, those riders used a  motorcycle for their daily commute and in other everyday situations while Dr Kawashima and his team studied how their brains and mental health changed.

The upshot was that the use of motorcycles in everyday life improved cognitive faculties, particularly those that relate to memory and spatial reasoning capacity. An added benefit? Participants revealed on questionnaires they filled out at the end of the study that their stress levels had been reduced and their mental state changed for the better.
