Stuart Easton Speaks on BSB Testing & Lake Havasu XDl Freestyle

From the man himself, Stuart Easton gives us his perspective on his testing so far in preparation for the 2010 British Superbike Championship. Most riders were in Spain at a track in Cartagena for last week, and Easton was right there among them. He did quite well in the testing and is finding his new teammate, James Ellison, very agreeable. We can only wait for the season to start to see if Easton gained what he needed for some good finishes...

A New Electric Motorcycle Enters - The Jim Corning PrometheusSolar

Corning started out by converting a Kawasaki motorcycle to run on electricity (meaning that about all of the bike still made by Kawasaki was the frame, forks, and maybe wheels).

It could be the beginning of another entrant into the production electric motorcycle industry.
