A Day At The Ducati Museum
My wife and I took a trip to Italy and Spain recently, our first trip to either country, and being a long time MotoGP and motorcycle racing enthusiast I had to take advantage of being in an area full of motorcycle racing talent, tracks and experiences. Our trip was over Christmas and New Years so with no races going on, I knew the one place I wanted to visit- the Ducati Museum in Bologna, Italy.

Indian Motorcycle Breaks With Polaris
When the news broke that Polaris Industries would be selling a majority stake in Indian Motorcycle to private-equity firm Carolwood LP, the sound that followed wasn’t just the click of a press release hitting inboxes. It was a collective double-take across the motorcycle world.
For over a decade, Polaris has been the guiding hand behind Indian’s comeback story — resurrecting the century-old American brand from dormancy and turning it into Harley-Davidson’s most credible rival in modern times. But with this new deal, expected to close in early 2026, Indian Motorcycle is about to chart its own course as a standalone company.
Beaubier Wins Sixth Superbike Title
If the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship could be summed up in just a few words this year, “dramatic and unpredictable” would be a pretty good description. And it certainly held true in the final races at New Jersey Motorsports Park over the weekend. The final race round held three Superbike races, and the three contenders for the title were within a few points of each other going into the weekend. Number 1 plate holder Josh Herrin held third place, still within striking distance of holding his title with 292 season points. 5-time national champion Cameron Beaubier held 306 points, and the surprising class leader entering NJMP was the scrappy outlier Bobby Fong with 314.
With 74 points up for grabs, the 2025 Superbike championship finish was anyone’s guess.
Through The Lens: The Fong Factor
September 26th-28th in New Jersey, one of these three talented riders will wear the number 1 plate next season. As the points currently stand, after 27 races, Bobby is in the lead with 314, Cameron second with 306, and Josh third with 292. It’s anyone’s guess who will claim the 2025 championship, with only three 20-lap races to go and 75 points up for grabs. Currently, Bobby has five 1st place finishes, Cameron has five, and Josh six. If somehow there is a tie in points, these stats become very important in determining who will clinch the Superbike title. Will the “Fong Factor” come into play in New Jersey?

Beaubier Makes History
In March of 2010, a fresh-faced 17 year old named Cameron Beaubier won the first AMA professional race of his career at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Today, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, Beaubier won his 90th career race, making him the winningest road racer across all classes in AMA Pro Racing history. He’s now a 32-year-old, five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion, husband, and father. And arguably the face of the series.

MotoAmerica Loves VIRginia
Perhaps you have heard of the Virginia tourism slogan, Virginia is for Lovers®? Our weekend at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) had us fall in love with Virginia! Race weekend at VIR excited riders, fans, and photographers with its natural beauty. The last two days of July in the mid-Atlantic brought stifling heat and high humidity to this beautiful location. However, it didn’t slow down the work that had to be done setting up the course and the paddock. The anticipation of great racing action was in the air! Fans also began to arrive at VIR to spend a fun weekend camping and RVing. Everyone was excited for MotoAmerica’s return after a three-year absence.
