Craftsman Experience Debuts Live Motorcycle Mini-Series in April Craftsman Tools (Sears) will host a new three-show motorcycle mini-series in April from their interactive live studio in Chicago. The shows will simultaneously live-stream from the Craftsman Experience website and Craftsman Experience Facebook page on Friday April 8th, 15th, and 29th starting at 7:00pm (CST). The Craftsman Experience is a one-of-a-kind venue that combines hands-on work stations, a live social media studio, and highly developed project demonstrations. First show April 8th, “American Craftsman”, will feature the iconic Erik Buell and his new state-of-the-art EBR 1190RS premier sport bike, which he and his engineers are bringing to the Craftsman Experience, along with other historic Erik Buell engineered machines that show his legendary history of innovation. Second show April 15th, “Daytona Life”, will bring you behind the scenes of the Daytona race paddock, look at new motorcycles and equipment, and expose you to one of the most dynamic motorcycle weekends in North America, Daytona Bike Week. Vesrah Suzuki Racing’s Mark Junge will also be in studio with his National Championship race team to demonstrate a typical Daytona 200 pit stop. You won’t want to miss the action! We’ll also take a look at how Rider’s For Health is using motorcycles to help deliver proper healthcare to remote villages in Africa. Third show April 29th, “The Engine Room”, will feature electronics design engineer Ammar Bazzaz (Bazzaz Performance) and Tim Calhoun (LeoVince Exhaust) who will explain the new world of Engine Management Systems, and look at the most efficient ways to create more power in your motorcycle. They will also explore the new proposed laws that may restrict motorcycle noise decibel levels, and what you can do to modify your exhaust to meet the proposed requirements. Regarding the first Craftsman Experience show with Erik Buell, project consultant Ken Abbott commented, “We’re thrilled to introduce Craftsman to the American motorcycle market by featuring Erik Buell, a true American icon. He’s a remarkable engineer who has created the only American sport bike brand. He is an entrepreneur with vision and a passion for perfecting the intricate balance between beauty and performance. Erik is also deeply loved and respected by his colleagues and competitors. He is the consummate ‘American Craftsman’, and we are deeply honored to have Erik Buell lead off this dynamic Craftsman Experience series.” If you want to see Erik Buell and his new EBR 1190RS in person, admission to the Craftsman Experience is FREE and studio doors open at 5pm, with the show starting at 7pm.
