“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.

Saturday did not go quite as planned for the Riders Discount Triumph crew.  Electronic issues disrupted second qualifying, and a high side in turn 13 on lap two of race one left the crew rebuilding the second bike under AMA Pro Racing’s new one bike rule.  Asked about his 103 mph crash Danny said, “I’m a little bit beat up, banged up, bruised, but my pride’s probably hurt more than any of it.  I think it was 2008 since I’ve last crashed out of a race.  It’s a bit of a disappointment for me, that was a pretty good run I had going there.”

Sunday was the dawn of a new day.  A new engine, and a new chassis meant Danny would be riding a completely different motorcycle.  Danny started in fifth position until fourth place Triumph’s Jason Disalvo suffered mechanical issues allowing Danny to slot into fourth for the remainder of the race, finishing as the top Triumph rider.  “Today’s race was pretty uneventful for me,” Danny said Sunday.  “I was just trying to salvage the best finish I could and stay in line for the championship.”

“After a rough weekend like ours it definitely let’s you know what your team and rider are made of,” said Riders Discount Triumph team owner, Brian Gibson.  “After a 103 mph high side crash for Danny and the team having to completely build a new bike, it showed we have one tough rider and a great crew.  Not only did we make the race Sunday we were able to battle and finish with a very solid fourth place position.  With that being said, I can only thank the whole Riders Discount Triumph team for salvaging a very difficult weekend and keeping us in a strong second position in the championship.”

Danny and the Riders Discount Triumph team hold second place in the AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike Championship and are looking forward to the Triumph SuperBike Classic at Barber Motorsports Park in a little under three weeks.

The CNC machined brackets are made from aircraft quality billet aluminum and finished in a black powder coat.

Installation is quite simple and can be completed in about 45 to 60 minutes. Comes complete with all mounting brackets and necessary hardware.

Essentially the top half of their race replica suit, this jacket is not going to be your preferred jacket to go to the mall. This is an aggressively cut, race fit jacket made for spirited rides on your favorite road. A full 360 zip allows you to attach the optional GP Plus pants allowing you to take it to the track as well.

Available in black/white, and white/red.

The Alpinestars GP Tech Air leather jacket stays plenty cool on those hot summer rides with full perforation along the front panel and back panel. The jacket goes above and beyond with additional ventilation along the top of the GP hump and arms. Don’t worry, Alpinestars includes a removable windproof vest for the early morning or late evening rides.

As with their race suits, Alpinestars includes a foam back pad. We highly recommend adding the optional Alpinestars Bionic Race back protector that snaps in to the jacket itself. The jacket also includes pockets to add optional Alpinestars Bionic Chest inserts. Both are available from Riders Discount, be sure to ask about these optional additions when you place your order.

External thermoplastic protection

Plenty of ventilation with the Alpinestars GP Tech Air Jacket

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!

If you are interested in the Bell RS-1 Servo, you can give us a call at 866.931.6644.  Is email more convenient? Feel free to send those to SUPPORT at RIDERSDISCOUNT dot COM and we’ll get back to you right away!

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

The continuation of the relationship between Triumph and Riders Discount into 2014 shows the mutual trust and respect the manufacturer and team have built.  The pairing of the two with Danny at the controls should make for excellent results.

Danny Eslick:

“I’m super excited about getting back on a 600 again.  The Daytona Sportbike class is going to be super competitive this season and I’m going to rub some paint.  Riders Discount and Triumph have shown me that they are going to put forward a winning effort and give me every opportunity to win and thats what I intend to do.”

Brian Gibson, Team Owner:

“I could not be more excited about the program we have put together for 2014.  The team, the bike and having Danny as our rider is a dream come true.  I am confident we will surprise a few people next year.”

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!”
