Said Coach Seiji, "Fly Racing has come a long way in a short time by constantly improving and never settling for ‘good enough.’ Their riding and racing apparel continues to evolve in functionality, durability and style. I’ve seen this through Fly's sponsorships of Jason Anderson and Andrew Short. I am excited to forge a strong relationship with Fly Racing and their parent company Western Power Sports. My dealings with Rod Reynolds and Max Steffens have been nothing short of stellar and their company's values and support of both racers and the sport are exemplary. I hope to be able to aid them as much as they will aid me, and my clients. I hold the company, their owner and their race support staff in the highest regard."

 

Likewise, Fly Racing’s Amateur Motocross Support Manager, Rod Reynolds, is thrilled about the possibilities the new partnership will offer both parties: "We are excited to have Coach Seiji join the Fly Racing Family.

RVINE, Calif. Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., today announced the launch of its mobile Web site, taking advantage of technologies available to reach active, on-the-go powersports products consumers.  The site, which has all the capabilities the company’s desktop Web site, is available for immediate use, and is addressable at m.kawasaki.com.

"As consumer usage of digital media has evolved over the past few years, we have also progressed our capabilities," said Chris Brull, Kawasaki’s marketing communications director. "The mobile site is a better way to serve the needs of an active online audience," said Brull.

"Our consumers are increasingly accessing the Web through mobile devices, and the mobile Web site is another way that Kawasaki is engaging them on their platform of choice," said Brull.  "We have been focusing on digital communications during the past few years, and this is another example of using the right technology to reach the right audience, " he said.

According to Brull, the site will give potential customers quick access to complete product details, including images, specifications, MSRP, and unique videos. The mobile site will provide updated, real-time information on an auto-refresh basis that’s updated in sync with the desktop site.

Brull cited the respected Pew Research Center’s 2009 Internet & American Life Project  research showing that 32 percent of Americans have used mobile phones to access the Internet, and 46 percent of those mobile users indicate that on- the-go availability of information is very important to them.

The broad application of Kawasaki’s mobile site will also allow dealership and trade show personnel to quickly access product information in the field and engage customers on a timely basis.  Customers will be able to opt-in to have the company’s ongoing promotions relayed directly to them through text alerts, via their mobile unit.

Other features of the new outreach tool include the ability for customers to receive immediate information when new products are announced. And, if they wish to follow-up with a local dealer, the site will automatically populate the dealer locator section with up to 10 dealerships in close proximity to the zip code provided by the user.

The site provides interfaces to immediately access Kawasaki’s Facebook and Twitter profiles, as well as its YouTube channel.

New Site Set to Promote Supermoto in the U.S.

Courtesy of Build Momentum

Supermoto Nation officially launched as a new company committed to growing the motorcycle category of supermoto in America. In addition to announcing the company, Supermoto Nation’s web site and Facebook page are now live. The web site and Facebook page will serve as a central point for people interested in getting started riding or racing supermoto.

The primary focus of Supermoto Nation will be to build an entertaining, innovative and successful professional supermoto series in America. In addition, the company will help leverage all the regional efforts and focus attention on the various groups and individuals committed to supporting and growing supermoto.

The name (Supermoto Nation) was selected to capture the potential of the sport of supermoto and to create excitement about this absolutely incredible motor sport. The name represents the future of supermoto and what is possible when people who are passionate about something take on building a supermoto nation.

“Originally this all started as an effort to figure out a way to salvage the Pro Supermoto Racing Series - no small undertaking in this economy. But as I continued to work on developing the series, I realized that it was going to take more than just a professional race series to properly promote supermoto in America. While some of the pieces exist today, there are a few elements that need to be added and everything has to be pulled together into a cohesive and compelling package. A package that builds the fan base, educates future customers about supermoto-style bikes and accessories, and encourages new participants to want to get involved in riding and racing supermoto,” commented Ed Kuhlenkamp, founder and owner of Supermoto Nation.

Supermoto Nation is in the process of exploring the likelihood of being able to proceed with developing a true national race series in 2010 and determining what that series will look like. Preliminary discussions have taken place with local promoters and sponsors around the country. Supermoto Nation is confident that it is still possible to have a series this year with the right marketing partners. Companies interested in marketing opportunities associated with the series can contact Ed Kuhlenkamp, his information is available at www.supermotonation.org.

“The plan to rebuild the sport of supermoto is grounded in taking realistic steps and not overpromising what can be done in the near term. I think the hype about supermoto and promises of what could be achieved with the sport in the past are some of the things that hampered the growth of supermoto. Supermoto has all the qualities to be a highly successful motor sport. It is extremely exciting, fairly easy to locate events near major metropolitan areas and has always produced excellent ratings when televised. Even with all these qualities and more the sport lacks true infrastructure and strong support at the local level. None of that is going to happen overnight, but it will happen if someone is focused on it. Rebuilding supermoto will take a couple of years, but after the initial infrastructure is in place, sponsors and fans can expect steady growth in the category and a racing calendar they can count on,” added Kuhlenkamp.

The new Supermoto Nation web site will focus primarily on the professional racers, and teams involved in the series. In addition, it will also serve as a destination site for people interested in learning more about how to get started riding or racing supermoto. Currently, the site has only limited information posted; more details will be added in the weeks to come. The site does have sections dedicated to finding supermoto clubs and supermoto schools around the country. There are also plans to add other information about the various manufacturers of supermoto-style bikes, accessory companies and bike builders. The development of the site was a joint effort between John Sears, Drew Stoerrle and Ed Kuhlenkamp.

Motorcycle enthusiasts interested in this exciting sport and category of motorcycling should visit the new web site and become a fan of the Facebook page. The links are listed below.

http://www.travispastrana.com/#/en/CURRENT/News/The-Great-Divide/The-Great-Divide/

When the sun broke over the Rocky Mountains this morning, Travis, along with his friends Special Greg and Eric Roner, set out to conquer the "Great Divide Trail." The 2,493 mile trail begins in Montana and continues South along the Rockies before ending in New Mexico. Pastrana will ditch the familiarity of his motorized vehicles for a full-suspension mountain bike supplied by Giant Bicycles.

The trip will take approximately 39 days and Travis will make scheduled stops at post offices along the way. New gear, supplies and underwear will be exchanged for autographed postcards from Travis to randomly selected fans. Yes, you heard correctly, Travis will be sending out postcards to fans selected from his Facebook fan page (http://www.facebook.com/travispastrana). Disconnected from technology, Travis has reverted to the old school methods of "snail mail" to communicate with fans throughout his journey.

Follow Travis's journey by checking out www.travispastrana.com for updates.
