2014 EBR 1190 RXErik Buell Racing NewsErik Buell Racing is about to exploit its motorcycle lineup, which features the all-new 1190RX, to European audiences.
This strategical move is thanks to a Global Business Development Program grant that EBR, “the new American sport motorcycle company,” received from the Madison-based Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.With the funds from the grant, the East Troy, Wis., motorcycle manufacturer will participate in Motodays Fiera Roma, one of Europe’s largest motorcycle trade shows. Many of EBR’s top leaders will travel to Rome for the event, which takes place March 6-9. EBR says it will promote the new product line and expand its dealer network in Europe.“This grant allows our team to meet with key stakeholders across Europe,” said Erik Buell, president and CEO of EBR. “We know the passion in Europe for sport motorcycles continues to grow, and our goal in attending this show is to ultimately expand our dealer footprint in the region.”The grant program is designed to help Wisconsin-based companies lay the foundation for new export strategies or build upon existing export programs.

Zero Electric ADV Bike + Al and Bridget from Throw Your Leg Over
byMotos and Friends by Ultimate Motorcycle
Hello everyone and welcome to Motos and Friends, a weekly Podcast brought to you by the editorial team at Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Electric mobility is everywhere nowadays. Whether it’s a car, a truck, an assisted bicycle, a scooter, or any number of new innovations, the electric revolution is certainly here. In this week’s first segment, Nic de Sena took a ride on Zero’s recently announced new Adventure bike—the Zero DSR-X. There’s been a lot of hype about this new arrival on the ADV scene, and of course the questions are many. Nic talks to me about whether Zero actually have a credible, alternative energy ADV bike—or if the machine is just simply an empty promise.
In our second segment, I chat with Al and Bridget from ‘Throw Your Leg Over’. They took time out to record this episode from somewhere in the middle of Romania, of all places.
These interesting Aussies have traveled—and painstakingly documented—the thousands of miles they’ve covered riding the best roads and sights through Australia, Tasmania, Europe, eastern Europe, and Scandinavia, among other places.
Their guided tour books and videos are all available online as a tremendous resources for all you would-be travelers. A membership to Throw Your Leg Over also helps fund their future travels—and who knows where those might lead them.
Al and Bridget are truly committed to their passion for travel, and that really comes across. Their fun and zeal for life on two wheels is great to hear.
