John Parnham, Owner – J&P Cycles John caught the bug for motorcycling back in the 1970’s, despite a rocky start to his dream he managed to persevere and build one of the largest online parts companies in the country. J&P Cycles is based in Iowa but they also have a flagship retail location in Ormond Beach, Florida. J&P Cycles is also a proud supporter of the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. www.jpcycles.com www.nationalmcmuseum.com Davey Coombs, Owner – Racer X Publications The recent news about the closing of RoadRacerX has been met with disappointment by anyone who ever had the pleasure of reading the road racing lifestyle magazine. But while road racing is on life support in the USA, motocross and Supercross are going strong and Davey and his team are part of the reason for the mass-market success of these two sports. Racer X recently launched a new version of their popular site. They also did an awesome job running the Lucas Oil Outdoor Motocross Series and the Can-Am GNCC Series. www.racerxonline.com Bill Savino, Manager – Motorcycle Press – American Honda Honda has released the CBR250R, an affordable, smart, capable and fun street bike. The new, fuel-injected CBR250R offers everything you want in a first-time bike, or backup ride: light weight, a powerband that’s immensely user-friendly, excellent fuel economy and unmatched reliability, plus a fun factor that’s off the chart. In addition to the basic model they also offer the new CBR250R with ABS brakes. www.powersports.honda.com/2011/cbr250r.aspx Bernie Thompson, Campus Director – Powersports Institute Located in Ohio, the 207,000-square-foot campus is known as a “Disneyland for Gearheads” and is one of the most unique training facilities in the world. In 2008, the PowerSport Institute branch campus increased its course offerings to include the new American V-Twin Specialist, PowerSport Specialist and an expanded 72-week PowerSport Technician programs. In late 2009, the S&S Engine training center was completed at PSI to provide training on S&S Engines as part of the Custom Bike Building program, and the Associate of Applied Science in PowerSport Technology program was approved. The degree program added an academic component to the curriculum, making PSI one of the only colleges in the world to offer a degree in powersports. www.psi-now.com Chris “Teach” MacNeil, Professional Street Stunt Rider – BMW Champion freestyle motorcycle athlete and performer Chris (Teach) McNeil has been traveling the globe for more than ten years wowing crowds with his impressive array of gravity-defying stunts.
