No, this isn't an advertisiement for Mid-South Motoplex. I noticed this morning as I looked around for news to post before heading to Hotlanta for the weekend that they have a glut of used sportbikes up for sale. Our friends at "The Plex" seem to have quite a selection of used sportbikes on hand for those just entering riding with three Ninja 500's on hand. For those looking to upgrade to more powerful hardware they have three CBR 600's, a brace of ZZR 600's and ZX-10's, as well as a great looking SV650. Now I havent' been up there to look at these bikes so I'm not making any claims as to condition on these machines. As the saying goes, just for information ony :). If you do go up there and check them out let them know you saw it here on Nashvilleriders.com so they can say "Who's that?".

Casey Stoner has offically announced he will be retiring from racing at the end of the 2012 season. In the pre race press conference for Le Mans, he confirmed rumors he had discounted (but not denied) that he is planning to retire this year from MotoGP racing. Below is the official press release from Honda.
Reigning MotoGP World Champion and 2012 points leader Casey Stoner stunned the MotoGP paddock at Le Mans this afternoon when he announced his retirement. The 26-year-old will stop racing motorcycles at the end of this season. The Repsol Honda rider cited personal reasons for his decision, as well as suggesting that MotoGP’s new direction – with the introduction of lower-cost and lower-performance CRT machines for some riders – also played a part.

Recently BMW issued a recall/delivery hold on over 1,400 S1000RR bikes. If you are an owner please make sure you contact BMW as soon as possible to make sure your bike gets taken care of if needed. Below is the info from BMW:
BMW has issued a delivery hold and is recalling 1,414 2012 model year BMW S1000 RR motorcycles to inspect and correct a potential problem with loosening of the connecting rod bolts. As a result of a manufacturing process error, the bolts could loosen and fall out. If this happens, the engine may fail, seize, and/or leak oil. Approximately 900 of the affected motorcycles are still in BMW or dealer inventory and will be inspected and corrected prior to customer delivery. Owners of potentially affected motorcycles will be notified by mail in May advising them to bring their motorcycles to an authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer to have the recall performed. The connecting rod bolts will be replaced and installed with a thread locking agent.
Please contact our Customer Relations team at 1-800-525-7417 if you have additional questions.

Most custom-bike shows feature an array of perfect, completed motorcycle projects with polished chrome and flawless paint, accompanied by squads of Hot Chicks posing for photos with drooling middle-aged men. Good stuff, but isn’t the process just as interesting as the completed project? Where the bike came from, what the builder wanted to accomplish, where the parts got sourced, what it looked like before the building began?
That’s why Jason Friend and Jason Anderson came up with their “Unfinished Projects” show around Christmas time in 2010. It started with Anderson renting a former sewing-factory space over San Francisco motorcycle dealership SF Moto to use as workspace for his design company. SF Moto had been using the space to store sales inventory and customer’s bikes waiting for service (there’s a large freight elevator to the street), but Anderson realized it could be a great studio space for local artists to show their work: “there are tremendously talented people in San Francisco’s motorcycle community.”
