Some great nuggets in this interview with the HD factory team behind KW33 - all nighter, top speed this year, limitations of oil sump design on street bikes, etc.

Tech Tuesday: The Harley-Davidson Daytona All-Nighter - MotoAmerica

Like moths to a flame, a select group of Harley-Davidson personnel was drawn to the Factory Racing team’s illuminated canopy and transporter. They say nothing good happens in the world at three o’clock in the morning, but I beg to differ. On Thursday night into Friday morning two weeks ago at...

Why is it that Stock 1000 is only running 10 races this year? I'd imagine that S1000 is used as a feeder class for SB and you'd want roughly as many races as the SB and SS class since SS is probably a feeder for stock 1000. S1000 is running half as many races as SB. I'm guessing that it has something to do with money...

Good question and I don't have an answer. Your guess seems reasonable.

Outstanding pre-race press conference with the top five KotB racers.

Exceptionally proud of our US race ambassadors.

Would've loved to see one of the MotoGP riders take a KotB out for a spin; could've been fun marketing.

How about that Blake Davis kid on the N2 Racing/ Bobbleheadmoto R6 having a great testing season so far. Breaking the Supersport lap record (unofficially) at Roebling and also breaking the lap record (unofficially) at NCbike. We're super excited to see what he can do on a super stacked Supersport field.

Dope for sure, and good to see you back trackside as well.

Got to Road Atlanta on Thursday right after ChampSchool at CMP, set up next to Danny the owner of American Supercamp (slide school).

QPs don’t start until this afternoon so just hanging out and ordering kit for my new MT-09.

Nice! I'll be there Saturday morning, maybe you'll see me. Just look for any of the demo bikes slamming floorboards or traveling faster than it should be.

What a day of racing!

I love our American race series!

Yesterday was wild! How about Blake Davis killing it out there? The end of SB Race 1... i was standing on the bridge and saw the middle of the crash but not the cause. Did Baz run into escalante? Was it Escalante? I think i saw Baz hobble off the track but the other guy left in an ambulance.

BD22 is on fire. I love that whole family team. So proud of our N2/BHM program. We’re a very fortunate club.

Post-checkers crash (as related to me - I wasn’t an eyewitness):

Loris was bike A, JD bike B and Richie bike C. JD pulled off line opening up a gap, Richie got surprised with his closing speed and unfortunately hit Loris.

Chaplain Mark visited Loris in the shoebox med clinic and said he was shaken up but seemed OK.

I wish we could get Blake to come teach at a track day. I know he's extremely busy. Maybe at our homestead event we do in January. Its the closest thing to "off-season" that he would have.

I hope eveyone is ok. I hate seeing riders get hurt, at fault or not.

Above scenario I laid out was widely circulated but inaccurate.

I got another version this morning but I’m refraining from sharing to avoid running this thread off into the speculation, rumor and conjecture ditch.
