We have a very high regard for the reputation these organizations have established in the riding community, and we appreciate the emphasis they place on safety as well as performance.“We also appreciate the opportunity these groups afford to riders to experience the full range of Dunlop track-ready products including the Sportmax Q2 street/track tire as well as the D211 GP-A race tires made in Buffalo, NY, as they ride at many of America’s greatest racetracks. Between all the schools and track days we support, there are more than 450 opportunities available for riders to experience our Dunlop products.”Whether you are an up-and-coming pro getting some professional instruction or a weekday commuter out for a day at the track, the many options listed below can help you expand your riding skills.

Hello everyone and welcome once again to Ultimate Motorcycling’s weekly Podcast—Motos and Friends.
My name is Arthur Coldwells.
This week’s Podcast is brought to you by Yamaha motorcycles. Discover how the YZF-R7 provides the perfect balance of rider comfort and true supersport performance by checking it out at YamahaMotorsports.com, or see it for yourself at your local dealer.
This week’s episode features Senior Editor Nic de Sena’s impressions of the beautiful new Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST that is loosely based around the original FXRT Sport Glide from the 1980s. Hailing from The Golden State, these cult-status performance machines became known as West Coast style, with sportier suspension, increased horsepower, and niceties including creature comforts such as a tidy fairing and sporty luggage.
In past episodes you might have heard us mention my best friend, Daniel Schoenewald, and in the second segment I chat with him about some of the really special machines in his 170 or so—and growing—motorcycle collection. He’s always said to me that he doesn’t consider himself the owner, merely the curator of the motorcycles for the next generation.
Yet Daniel is not just a collector, but I can attest a really skilled rider. His bikes are not trailer queens, they’re ridden, and they’re ridden pretty hard. Actually, we have had many, many memorable rides on pretty much all of the machines in the collection at one time or another.
From all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
