It's again!
Bill wasn't one for leaving the ground, if he could help it. So here's a rare shot of him racing motocross at Dairyland back in the day.
Thanks Mike Dean for the photo!

Stop on down to the shop this week and pickup a free retro M/C Perf sticker.
Maybe bring along that bike of yours too, you know the one that needs a spring tune-up to get you ready for the season!

Restoration Season may be over and it’s Spring tune up time, but here’s a throwback to a full restoration we did of a 1977 BMW R100RS.
Had our friend, Dan Yoder from Sign Art Studio, come in for the final touch of pinstriping with his pup Bruno (who’s now 10x that size).
We got a photo of the resto next to an original (*that’s for sale in our showroom*), can you tell what one’s what?

A trip to Florida isn’t complete without stopping at the holy grounds of the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing.
You walk in and the Terminal Van Lines bike is the first thing you see.
Mike Grey was the first to successfully reverse the cylinder head. Setting the standard for all T/F motorcycles that are still reining to this day.

The first motorcycle to hit 200mph on the drag strip, arguably.

Do you notice an odd similarity to our T/F Ducati? 😏

If you enjoyed that last history lesson, here’s another one.
If you thought Nitromethane was dangerous… just wait till you hear about Hydrazine!

This is the in-depth history of Hydrazine in the sport of Drag Racing. It is one of the most mythic, misunderstood, and undocumented stories of the sport's p...

Motorcycle Performance is offering winter storage and service work. Would be a good time to have tires, valve adjustments, brake work, etc. done during the winter so to be ahead of other bikers in the spring, when there a rush and delay in services.
Our if you just picked up a motorcycle you want to get running.
We do winter restorations, right now I have a couple of spots left
for bigger projects.

Get it? 😜
Stop on down to drop off those winter projects, or get the bike dialed in for the rest of the riding season. We got a couple tough customers riding year round.
No snow yet, so maybe we wire ya up some heated grips? 🔥🔥🔥

Another for ya.

SCTA Speed Week 2019

Here’s Bill keeping the bike cool while Nick Arias III exclaims “Wait… Theee Sam Wills is riding this bike?!” Only to have Sam chime, I sure am!

Sam had been sponsored by Arias Pistons for many years and had a deep connection with the Arias family. It’s a small world once you get out on the salt.
