Check out all of the great new streamimg video we have up on the video gallery!
We have 8 streaming video clips up on the website now. We have the Bike Sport Weekly and Speed TV interviews,
as well as our 20 minute TT overview. If you like our hot models photo shoot be sure to check out the behind
the scenes video on this as well. We also put together a TT 2002 preview clip and a quick trailer for the 20-minute overview.
Because of the high speed motion involved the video is best viewed with a DSL or Cable connection
although we have streaming clips for a dial up modem connection. Also the streaming video only uses Windows Media Player..

Want to see more of Dwight in action in the high banking of Pocono Raceway?
Then check out all of the great photos in his updated photo gallery!
The race weekend was not the best on the schedule. After a long hot summer it end up raining all day
Saturday. Initially the officials decided to call it a wet race day. All the teams started mounting rain
tires and doing practice laps in the wet. Then out of no where a blanket of fog descends over the track.
All racing is cancelled and everything is pushed to the final day Sunday. Needless to say
Sunday was full of surprises as the organizers cramed two days of racing into one. Our result on
Sunday was not as high as we would have liked, but it was 10 positions better than our Mosport finish
as we continue our first season of racing and R & D with the motorcycles.

Check out all of the great new Mosport International Raceway photos in the updated photo gallery!
The team traveled up to Ontario Canada for the fourth round of the Pro Formula USA series. It was the teams
first time at Mosport and the first race since it's return from the Isle of Man TT races.
The team was originally scheduled to race in the third round at Loudon New Hampshire, but the motorcycles
were delayed in Customs upon there return to the USA and were not released from Customs until after the
race weekend was underway. After spending three weeks at the Isle of Man TT races, the main focus of
the weekend was primarily spent learning the new track and getting reaclimated to short circuit racing.

We're back from the Isle of Man TT races and do we have some great photos and streaming video for you!
Check out all of the great footage in the updated photo and video gallery!
This year we successfully brought the MV Agusta back to racing at the Isle of Man TT races. This year
was an R & D year for us. We didn't finish as high up the rostrum as we would have liked, but we
gathered tons of information on set up and we look forward to next years races.
The overall atmosphere of the festival was great as always despite it raining for the first 13-days
of our trip. We went over to the Isle a full 2-weeks before racing to get the bike set up for the
races and it rained every day until the Monday of practice week. To

MV
Agusta Factory Visit
Upon
arrival to our hotel room in the town of Varese we happen
to glance out the window to see this spectacular view of the
Lake Varese below and the town was situated on. We were staying
at the Palace Hotel. It was built upon the top of a hill over
looking the town and lake below. Built over 100 years ago
the structure was magnificent, and also happens to be owned
by Claudio Castiglioni the president of Cagiva and MV Agusta.
There was MV Agusta Oro in the lobby along with a Cagiva 500
GP motorcycle. There was definitely no doubt as to who the
owner of the hotel was.
Several meetings were arranged for me to meet with various
personnel of the MV Agusta project team to discuss performance
enhancements for racing, and future plans for the enhancement
of the motorcycle. I met with Andrea Googi first, the engine
project leader. We probably spent the most time together discussing
every conceivable part of the motor and the enhancements of
the 2002 motor over the 2001 model. He was very knowledgeable
and we discussed all of the racing enhancements for the "SPR"
motor in great detail and when this would be available. After meeting with several other
individuals we called it a day...to
