“I believe we had a solid bike but with the lack of testing it put us in a difficult position,” said Brian Gibson, Riders Discount Triumph team owner.  “With the short two-day format we were chasing our tails.  But all and all we came out of the weekend only 12 points out of the championship lead instead of 22 and we have to look at that as a success.  The next round is at Laguna Seca where we have some data from 2013 when we raced with both Joey Pascarella and Jake Zemke, so that should help us hit the ground running a little faster than when we arrived at Barber.”

“This was the first time we’ve done the two day schedule for a race weekend and I think this was definitely not my weekend and things weren’t going properly,” said Riders Discount Triumph rider, Danny Eslick.  “We started the day yesterday behind the 8-ball and whenever you have limited track time and limited qualifying, it’s hard to make up time.  We were stuck in seventh, or eighth place in race one, but luckily we had a couple guys go off in front of us finishing fifth, and sixth overall in race two.  After coming into this race 22 points down in the championship and leaving only 12 back, it’s not a terrible weekend.  We’ll chalk it up as a completed weekend.  We didn’t tear anything up, and we’ll move to Laguna and go get us a win.”

The FIM Superbike World Championship, GEICO Motorcycle U.S. Round at Laguna Seca is July 11-13.

More on the RS-1: The Bell RS-1 is a SNELL M2010 and DOT that sits in a sweet spot, both performance and price-wise. The sleek, aggressively shaped shell is made from a Kevlar/Fiberglass composite that makes it both strong and lightweight. The RS-1’s shell cuts a profile that is similar to that of the Bell Star, which results in an excellent aerodynamic balance that keeps buffeting to a minimum. Air also flows through the helmet very well. The Velocity Flow Ventilation system is adjustable and quietly keeps your head cool.

Internally, the Bell RS-1 is a comfortable place to be. The lining and cheek pads feel very plush on the skin, right out of the box. They also break in quickly. An Agion Antibacterial treatment helps keep things fresh, but the lining is fully removable and washable in case things get a bit too sweaty. The RS-1 comes with a clear NutraFog II anti-fog/anti-scratch shield, which is the same as the Star. The ClickRelease shield mechanism is also shared, making for shield changes that can be done in seconds. Be sure to ask about adding the popular Bell Transition shield to your order as well!

Fit is similar to the rest of the Alpinestars line up. These will feel a tad snug at first but break in nicely.

Premium cowhide is use throughout the glove. 

Single polyurethane rubber pull wrist closure

Soft foam padding on the wrist, thumb, and top of the hand

Synthetic palm and external stitching for increased grip and comfort

Accordion stretch panel allows for easy control of your motorcycle

Constructed from premium 1.2 – 1.4mm cowhide, the Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 3.0 has a look and feel that outpaces its relatively modest price. This sturdy frame is built for maximum abrasion resistance and is backed by CE-rated armor in the back, knee, elbow and shoulder. The shoulder also features a new style of titanium-capped protector that sits atop the leather on the exterior.

Despite the thick leather and the array of armor, the Twist of Fate 3.0 is a incredibly comfortable suit that feels broken in the first time you try it on. This is due in part to the high-quality and very supple leather used by Speed and Strength. Adding to the overall broken in, comfortable feel is the generous use of Schoeller® Keprotec® stretch material in the arms, crotch, thighs, and calf. The Twist of Fate 3.0 also provides plenty of ventilation, with perforated leather throughout the chest, upper arms, thighs and lower back.

Like both of its predecessors, the Speed and Strength Twist of Fate 3.0 is a suit that performs at a much higher level than its price-tag would suggest.

The Aldo Drudi design depicts Rossi, who was nearing the end of his run aboard the Ducati at the time, as a boxer that is on the ropes, yet still optimistic. Despite the bruises, bandages and a black eye, he is still seen asking the question “Come vado?” (How am I doing?). The back of the helmet shows his two ever-present bulldogs, Cesare and Cecilia, in boxing gloves and sporting a black eye each. His Sun & Moon logo is also found on the back, with Marco Simoncelli’s number next to it as a tribute to his late friend.

The AGV GP-Tech Rossi Boxer helmet is limited to just 1500 worldwide, but we also have plenty of other Rossi helmets available if there’s another one that you’re looking for. If you’re interested, just give our knowledgable sales team a call at 866.931.6644 and they’ll be happy to help. Is email more convenient?

Pascarella, the defending Daytona 200 race winner, returns to Daytona after a productive offseason that included a new track record in Las Vegas last month, and is looking to carry this success into the AMA season. He’ll be doing so aboard his #52 Triumph Daytona 675R, which made its way down from the Riders Discount headquarters in Holland, Michigan, with a pit-stop at the Barber Motorsports Park for testing.

“I am feeling really good about everything going into Daytona,” said Pascarella. “I know I have what it takes to win after doing it last year, and with the Riders Discount Triumph team behind me, I know we have a good chance of a repeat performance. I can’t wait to get back on the banking with my Triumph 675R and to get the 2013 season under way. I want to thank the team and all the sponsors for giving me the opportunity to do what I love to do – go racing.”

“Joey’s an incredibly talented rider and we’re lucky to have him on board for the Daytona 200, and the rest of the 2013 season,” said Brian Gibson, Riders Discount Triumph team owner. “I know he has what it takes to win and I can’t wait to see what he can do on the Triumph. We definitely have a solid team, and to say that we’re looking forward to Daytona would be an understatement!”

Team Manager, Bree Poland added, “We are beyond excited to get to Daytona and see our Riders Discount Triumph out on the high banks of Daytona. Joey has been training hard all season and we were able to get a test in before heading south. The team is super excited to have last year’s Daytona 200 winner riding for us and we are hoping for another win. We can’t thank our sponsors enough for helping us this season!”

The Turano and Scotty both have essentially the same design, only in two different sizes. Starting at the top, you will find a clear compartment with a full zip that is perfect for your map/GPS and cellphone. Below this is the main compartment which, on the smaller Scotty, has plenty of room for your commuting or day trip essentials. The main compartment on the Turano is much larger, and has more than enough room to hold rain gear and clothes for a weekend tour. Both models also allow you to expand this main storage capacity by nearly twice the original size when you unzip one of the robust zippers encircling the compartment. Additional small pockets are found on the front and back of the bag for sunglasses and smaller items.

Storage capacities:

Turano – 12 liters – 22 liters expanded

Scotty – 6 liters – 9 liters expanded

Held is well known for their build quality and the robust, 100% nylon construction found on the Turano and Scotty does not disappoint. The sturdy nylon is held together with heavy duty stitching and zippers that will stand up to the abuses of everyday, real world use. The nylon construction is weather resistant, but Held includes waterproof rain cover for when the weather really gets rough.

These bags are very versatile and will work on nearly all bikes. Both use Held’s Velcro/strap system that allows them to fit a variety of tank shapes and sizes. This system, combined with the non-slip bottom, mean that whatever you stow away in the bag will stay securely in place.

Both expand to nearly twice their original size when you unzip one simple spiral zipper that encircles the main compartment.

Both bags come with a clear topped rain cover that allows you to read your map/GPS with the cover on.

The Turano and Scotty tank bags both have the top of the line build quality and materials that you would expect from Held.

Held Turano Tank Bag – $159.99

Held Scotty Tank Bag – $149.99
