K&N x XDL 2012

Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:59:00 +0000

K&N FILTERS CONTINUES WITH XDL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES SPONSORSHIP IN 2012

Los Angeles, CA (June 12, 2012) -- K&N filters will continue its multi-year partnership with the XDL Championship Series through the 2012 season and return as the title sponsor of the K&N Circle Challenge. The K&N Circle Challenge is a bracket competition that pits two riders in a head-to-head battle to determine the first rider to reach 10 circle rotations. It is one of the most fast-paced, fun-to-watch and innovative competitions in XDL because it combines the ultimate skill of a street freestyle rider, with the head-to-head format of racing. It is the best of both worlds and its continued popularity with fans proves this. The K&N Circle Challenge is also the only truly "open" format where the displacement of a motorcycle can be any type without putting a rider at a disadvantage. As XDL expands into markets such as India, where displacements are in the 150cc to 220cc range, this format could turn out to be a core competition element because it allows for top riders from XDL to go up against top riders from India without the need to standardize motorcycle categories. The K&N/XDL relationship for 2012 will also include several marketing and social media initiatives that will seek to cross over audiences from both brands.

Wonder what will happen here....?

Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:51:00 +0000

So one of the riders from the last memorial day ride is all in the news. but for a change it's questioning the actions of the officer. Anyways guy gets pulled over and the cop says he wants his camera and why he pulled him over then, goes on to arrest the guy for a class C license plate ticket. I wonder how this is going to turn out because even the general public are largely in favor of the rider and oppose the actions of the police.

here is the raw video that douchebag David Schechter(the guy who does all the stories about sportbike and stunters being a menace on the highways) posted.
