2009 Buell Daytona Sportbike 1125R - American Muscle...Via Austria
 SR spins some laps aboard Buell's Daytona Sportbike Spec 1125RThere’s no question the face of American road racing changed dramatically when the Daytona Motorsports Group took over leadership of the AMA. In the beginning there was a whirlwind of ideas for classes and directions for the “new” AMA to take. In the end, after endless battles with manufacturers, four classes—American Superbike, Daytona Sportbike, Supersport, and MotoGT—have become the playing fields for this country’s fastest racers.inline_mediumwraptextrightHere you can see just how much space the front fairing of the 1125R takes up--but it works great in a tuck.18810064/bikes/2010/146_2009_Buell_Daytona_Sportbike_1125RBuell 1125R DSB.JPG.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: 2009 Buell Daytona Sportbike 1125R - Sport Rider Magazine

The Dangers of Street Riding - Safety First
 And It's Still Not Enough.More than three months after my accident (Wheelspin, March '09), I've finally left the hospital and am now at a transitional living facility. Here the focus is on rehabilitation and learning how to cope with my disability on an everyday basis. The expected stay is two to three months, so I've still got some work to do, but this is the last stage of my journey. Overall, it's going well so far. One of the setbacks I had in the hospital was a nasty bed sore, which required surgery and a three-week stay flat on my back in a special sand-filled bed. That gave me lots of time to think about my situation and how I ended up here. It was either that or count the holes in the ceiling tiles (I only got as far as 100-and-some-odd before I gave up on that).inline_mediumwraptextrightTaking a break on one of my last rides. Street riding can be fun, safe and just as satisfying as riding at the track if you learn the specific skills necessary and ride to the best of your abilities to reduce the risks involved.18445975/features/146_0906_dangers_of_street_riding_safety_first146_0906_02+street_riding+checking_bikes.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: The Dangers of Street Riding - Sport Rider Magazine

Mental Visualization — Think It, Be It, Do It
 Applying mental visualization to riding.Odd as it sounds, sometimes the most beneficial riding practice takes place between your ears with your eyes shut and the ignition switch turned off. Mental visualization is used in many sports, and I actually picked it up from a coach while shooting small-bore rifle competition in college. The benefits were immediate and obvious, so I quickly applied it to my roadracing as well. Photo Gallery: Mental Visualizationt - Sport Rider Magazine

Body Position — Old School Vs. New School
 We focus on the evolution of riding styles and body positioning.In Ama Pro Racing, World Superbike And MotoGP there's been a shift in riding styles. From the days of '80s and '90s heroes like Kevin Schwantz and Mick Doohan who were forced to wrestle powerful, unruly beasts to their will, a younger generation of riders typified by Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner took over, rising from the high-corner speed ranks of 125cc and 250cc Grand Prix machinery to the more refined, better-behaved MotoGP bikes of today with their complex engine-management software and traction control. Actually Rossi's career dates from the final days of fire-breathing 500cc two-strokes (he won the last 500CC World Championship in 2001, then piled up consecutive MotoGP championships from 2002 to 2005), which likely contributes to making him the most versatile and perhaps most talented roadracer of all time.
