The entire AMA Hall of Fame controversy in one place As someone interested in motorcycles, you’ve probably heard of Kenny Roberts. Unless you’re a racing fanatic, you probably haven’t heard that, last week, the three-time 500cc World Champion resigned from the AMA Hall of Fame. Spurred by the retraction of Derek “Nobby” Clark’s (second from right) induction, Roberts wasn’t the first and likely won’t be the last to do so. There’s a... By HFL Staff News - Jul 16 2012 -
Retarded: 2012 Kawasaki KX450 Launch Control Launch control is a pretty awesome thing. The idea behind it is that at the start of a race, you whack the throttle wide open, dump the clutch, and the computer makes all the hard calls for you. This tech is the reason MotoGP and F1 starts are so drama free and smooth. All the guy behind the controls has to do is keep it pinned wide open and it'll go as fast as the tires will allow. Kawasaki's lau... By Sean Smith News - May 19 2011 -
AMA sanctions TTXGP Hell For Leather can exclusively reveal that the American Motorcyclist Association has decided to welcome TTXGP into the mainstream racing fold, officially sanctioning the series beginning this year.

Kids just want to ride Remember the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act? It was a knee jerk reaction to all those toys with lead in them coming out of China a couple years ago. The problem was, in banning all products that were intended for children and contained even trace amounts of lead, CPSIA also ended up banning the sale of children’s motorcycles and quads. There’s been a temporary stay of enforcement in p... By HFL Staff News - Jan 25 2011 -
Honda quits AMA/DMG racing, Harley to get spec series? Honda has officially quit AMA/DMG Pro Racing, announcing that factory support will be withdrawn from the Corona Extra team. At the same time, the Daytona Motorsports Group is pursuing the inception of a Harley XR1200 spec class, describing that as a "priority." Holy crap, the DMG drama just doesn't end. >Honda is quitting for all the obvious reasons. AMA Pro Racing events continue to be poorly att... By HFL Staff News - Sep 21 2009 -
AMA opposition to healthcare reform could jeopardize future of American motorcycling Photo: Basem WasefThe American Motorcyclist Association has issued an "Action Alert" opposing reform of our health care system. That opposition appears to stem from the unsubstantiated belief that reform could somehow lead to an "unelected commission or board" denying motorcyclists access to medical care. Not only is this claim spurious, ill-informed and worryingly reminiscent of the moronic "deat... By HFL Staff News - Sep 3 2009 -
