Kayla Yaakov: Race Like A Girl

by Rob Brooks | Jun 5, 2026 | Industry & Racing | 0 |

I briefly spoke with motorcycle racer Kayla Yaakov last year, in the Rahal Ducati Racing paddock area at Road Atlanta. She was cheerful, chatty, smiling ear to ear, diminutive in stature, but 10 feet tall in passion and drive. If you didn’t know she was a professional motorcycle racer, and a very successful one at that, you would be forgiven for merely mistaking her for an enthusiastic teenager. Her wide-eyed wonder, combined with her laser-focused skills on a race bike, have propelled her to stardom in the MotoAmerica road racing series, and she deservedly has become the talk of the track.

The famous Road America race course saw its largest ever attended motorcycle racing audience over the weekend, with the MotoAmerica series roaring into Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The weather was perfect, the track conditions were ideal, and the crowds came from near and far, filling the stands, the campgrounds, and along the fences around this legendary track. They were not disappointed, as the racing was outstanding.

Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is a small town of 941 people, about an hour northwest of Milwaukee. It is famous for two things: the Road America Race Course, and a wonderful exotic car and motorcycle museum/consignment dealership called Throttlestop.

2024 Polaris Slingshot- A Fresh Take

by Ken "Hawkeye" Glassman | Jun 20, 2024 | Bikes & Gear | 13 |

Here’s what is most important about the Slingshot: I’m grateful that there is a company out there THAT MAKES A VEHICLE LIKE THIS TODAY. I used to say that about Chrysler cars, with their incredible (if unnecessary) horsepower. And about Ford, and Chevy too, who made several performance models for everyday prices. But they don’t anymore. This isn’t a car, it isn’t a motorcycle, IT’S A FUN MACHINE. It’s loud, brash, unrefined, raw and industrial. It’s a bare knuckle, in your face roadster, and Polaris makes no attempt to apologize for it. It’s a vehicle that begs to be driven it like you stole it, every time you take it out. You have to drive this car, not be driven by it.

We’ve gotten to the fun stages of the Superbikesupply.com project bike. The teardown has been completed, I’ve gone through some general maintenance checks including greasing the headstock bearings, valve clearance check, leak down and compression test, and the bike passed with flying colors.
