The return of Mat Mladin?

I was a spectator at a recent round of the American Superbike Championship in CA. How times change so quickly.

Exactly 2 years ago, the Daytona Motorsports Group (DMG) took control of Road Racing and instantly proceeded to destroy a good series. Without going into to much political stuff, the head of the party, Roger Edmonson slowly ran off all the manufacturers, pissed off all the riders and decided whilst he was at it, he would piss off most of the track owners also. To wrap it up so I can move on, you couldn't do a worse job of running anything, than he did of AMA racing. A complete and total catastrophe.

Two years on and 6 months after my pulling the pin from the debacle called the AMA Superbike series, I returned to the track as there has been some talk between myself and a few people about a possible return to racing in 2011. I was told that things are completely different to last year and reports from Pete Doyle (my long time crew chief) after the first race in Daytona were that there is a definite shift in the approach to everything and everyone. I needed to see for myself so off I went to California for round 2.

After DMG heard that I would be in town for the race, they contacted me and organized everything from passes to suites etc etc. From the onset I thought that I was being set up :-) as this was far to different to how it had been for the last two years. Bob Hannah met me at the race to hang out for the weekend before we flew back to his place for some fun flying for a few days.

I got to meet and talk with all the new guys in charge, and after the weekend was over I had a good feeling that the series could move forward. It was a sense of relief in a way, because it was where I decided to spend the best years (14) of my racing life and to see the series implode like it did was a bit hard to take. I raced, beat and got beaten by guys like Ben Spies and Nicky Hayden over the course of the last 8 years, both of them guys now World Champions. The series has produced some great racers for many years so to see what was happening sucked.

Whether I return to racing in the USA or not, I will always hope that it flourishes. The USA is a great place and the US motorcycle market is huge and they should have a top class racing series that produces great racers, not a series that forces the best talent to leave to early. The US motocross guys stay and race in their own country because the money is good and the racing is the best anywhere. The US road racing series has proven how tough it is to be a winner, I hope it continues to do so.

Cheers
Mat

YOSHIMURA AND BGW ANNOUNCES EXHAUSTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR THE 2010 BMW S1000RR - by Geoffrey Bonfield

The new BMW S1000RR has certainly put a cat among the pigeons in the Litre-Class Sportbike category.

BMW has always enjoyed a reputation for making great bikes, but unlike their automotive division have never been known for outright high performance.

Well now BMW have entered this ultra-competitive class with a bang, with class leading power, a strong chassis and a high tech electronics package.

Yoshimura is the leader in getting even more performance out of the best bikes and the S1000RR is no exception.

Yoshimura have had a look at what they can do for the new kid on the block, and have released a range of exhausts and accessories specifically for the Beemer.

These are due early June but get your order in quick as demand is very high for these Yoshimura items.

Included is a Yoshimura Titanium R55-LE with a carbon fiber end cap, carbon fiber heat shield, detailed installation directions, and all necessary hardware.

The R77 muffler was developed by Yoshimura's race team in conjunction with riders Mat Mladin
and Ben Spies for one purpose, performance.

Perform it did as it carried our riders to victory in 2008 and 2009, as it still does today. The dramatic styling of the R77-LE and the predicated power it produces adhere flawlessly with the style of the BMW S1000RR.
