We have new shirts available for purchase.

B.J. ordered his second round of shirts in October.  With the month being October, Several different themes and ideas came to mind, but was an easy choice when it came down to it.

We decided to help raise money to help find a cure for breast cancer.  Every shirt sold from this order (with the pink ribbons on the sleeve) will have $5 donated to his friends Mona and Elizabeth to help them reach their goals for when they walk 60 miles over three days to help raise money to find a cure.  (Susan G. Komen 3-day for the cure).  They will be walking a total of 60 miles over a 3 day period in Nov.  of 2012.

A special thanks to Blue Collar Press for the speedy service and doing such a great job on the shirts!  We have them available in black and white.

These shirts have been going fast, and we almost left them off this site because we thought we might run out as quickly as we got them.  Then decided we’d just order more if needed.

If you would like to Donate to help Mona or Elizabeth raise money for the Susan G. Komen organization, follow this link to donate directly to one of their accounts on the Susan G Komen 3 day for the cure site.

If your organization would like to raise money to help support your cause, use the contact form and let B.J. know that you would like to be on our next order of shirts.  We are also actively looking into getting some hats made for future events and for sale.

It’s taken me a little while to make this post on bearracing and update the store page, thanks in advance for supporting bearracing!  Get your shirts today here!

On August 13th B.J. De Jong showed up with a Buell XB12R Firebolt racebike named Starr.  Owned and built by friend and fellow pit crew member Alex Oppermann of the James Gang Racing team. B.J.’s plan was to enter into the M.C.R.A. race weekend event.  Before he could enter any races.  He had to complete a racers license clinic and pass before getting a race license to enter any races over the Aug 13th and 14th weekend.

 

Rules of the mock race:

B.J. entered into the July 31st Heartland Park Motorcycle track day.  This was to prepare for the upcoming MCRA race weekend on August 13th and 14th, 2011.  He entered into the Novice class during this track day event.  The motorcycle he was racing with was a Buell XB12R Firebolt race bike, provided by Alex Opperman of the James Gang Racing team.

His goal was to become familiar with the new race bike and to gain experience at the HPT.  This was in preparation to Aug.13th and 14th MCRA race weekend.  He will be attempting to acquire a race license by completing the clinic that’s available on that weekend.

B.J. was the fastest in his novice class on the Buell racing bike.  He lapped the field on the 2.5 mile road course.  He handled the bike as if it was an old friend that he was used to.

It was a hot and steamy day for spectators in shorts, I can only imagine how the racers felt with full gear.  It was still an awesome day, and I look forward to attending more races in the future.

A special thanks to A&H heating, air conditioning and plumbing for their sponsorship in my upcoming race at Heartland Park in Topeka Kansas.

I will be attempting to acquire a racing license through the MCRA racing.  This will enable me to compete in all amateur race classes during the August 13th and 14th MCRA racing event and track day at HPT.

I will be riding a Buell XB12R Firebolt racebike, provided by Alex Opperman of the James Gang racing team.

A&H has kindly stepped forward with a cash donation to sponsor me in this event to help offset the costs that are required for me to be able to compete in this event.

If you love motorcycles and original artwork, you’ll love to get to see these choppers on display at Union Station in KC MO.

This event will be going on until Sept. 25th, 2011 at Union Station in Kansas City. Ticket prices when I went were: Adults 13-59 $12.50. Seniors, college students and military with valid ID $9.50. Children 3-12 (2 adn under FREE) $9.50.

I recommend anyone and everyone who can see the awesome masterpieces of art in person to do so. You can easily spend several hours reading all the literature and history of these choppers and their makers. If you aren’t able to make it in person, I hope you’ll enjoy the pictures of the choppers I took and am sharing here with you.

A couple of recommendations if you are able to make it:

1. Use the restroom before you go in!  Once you leave, they won’t be forgiving and let you back in.
2. Don’t touch the artwork.  This was a tough one for me, but out of respect for the artists themselves and the machine they created, I just took a lot of pictures instead.

Some gloves that I have used on and off the bike! When I’m out riding the streets of Kansas. I have found that the Buell Bolt Summer Textile gloves and pretty decent. They are a good summer glove with pretty good fit and feel for pretection. I also use another pair of these gloves for wrenching and hand protection in the garage area. They come in blue with white accents and full black. As well as a grey with white accents in full black. These gloves are getting hard to find these days as Buell items in whole are getting are to find as well.

Another glove I really like is the Buell Turbulent Leather Full Finger Glove. This also is a short style hand glove. Though made of leather it works well on cooler days. Provides great protection all the way around. I have had the privledge of crashing at 70mph with these gloves on. They protected my hands really well! All my fingers and skin where fine.. Yes alittle sore but the padding did its job well. Like all other Buell items, these gloves as well are getting hard to find mainly because the are all branded with cool Buell lettering and logos. If i could find another pair of these I would buy them right away!The Bolt glove sells from any where between $10.00 – $60.00. While the Turbulent glove gos for around $40.00- $85.00. Both well worth the price to me, to saving the skin on my hands!

For the race track you would need to look into a gaunlet style glove. Which is a longer glove that covers past your wrist. These offer maxium protection on the race track for high speed. While nothing will ever save you from getting hurt or killed. Wearing the right protection is way better than having nothing on at all!
