The all-new 2010 Shadow PhantomTM from Honda. Nothing’s been overlooked on this bobber-style cruiser, featuring a blacked-out design with matte-silver accents. A fat front tire beneath a bobbed fender and beefy forks. A low-slung saddle. And a powerful, fuel-injected 745cc V-twin engine. It’s the kind of cruiser you can’t take your eyes off of. So let that be your warning. Check out the entire Shadow lineup at Shadows.Honda.com.

The BT-016, featuring Bridgestone’s “3LC” (Dual Compound) for the front and “5LC” (Triple Compound) for the rear, delivers the grip performance demanded in every aspect — braking, side grip cornering, and traction at the exit of a corner.
With every MotoGP race victory, we learn more about tires and how they perform on and off the race track. That’s good for racing and it’s even better for you. Ride on Bridgestones. And start setting your own records.

Gums rapidly form in the fuel tank and fuel delivery systems as ethanol fuels age. However, ethanol is also a powerful solvent that will strip away and disperse this build up back into the fuel as large, performance-robbing particles. This leads to clogged filters, injectors and carburetors.
PROBLEM 4: ETHANOL CAUSES LOST POWER, PERFORMANCE AND DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY Ethanol fuel does not produce as much energy as traditional fuel. This results in inefficient combustion, decreased performance, reduced throttle response and poor fuel economy.
STAR TRON® SOLUTION: Star Tron®’s enzymes break down debris into sub-micron sized particles that can be easily burned during the combustion process, restoring full performance.
PROBLEM 2: EXCESSIVE WATER IN THE FUEL AND PHASE SEPARATION
Ethanol attracts moisture from the atmosphere, forming an ethanol/water solution mixed in the gasoline. E-10 fuel will naturally hold .5% water in suspension, but when water levels exceed this threshold, or when the fuel cools significantly, the water/ethanol mix drops out of suspension. This is phase separation. Excessive water in the fuel tank causes engines to run rough, stall, and can lead to internal damage to engine components. Ethanol provides a significant amount of the fuel’s octane, so when the ethanol/water solution separates and drops to the bottom of the tank, the remaining fuel is left without enough octane to properly operate the engine. Additionally, the ethanol/water solution can become partially combustible, which can lead to engine damage.
STAR TRON® SOLUTION: Star Tron®’s enzyme formula reduces interfacial surface tension between fuel and water. The molecular cluster size is greatly reduced, allowing more water to be dispersed throughout the fuel. These sub-micron sized droplets are safely eliminated as the engine operates. Star Tron® treated fuel helps prevent phase separation by allowing more water to be burned off than with untreated fuel, drying out the tank and preventing water buildup.
PROBLEM 3: ETHANOL FUELS BREAK DOWN QUICKLY Over a short period of time ethanol fuel begins to break down. As ethanol and other components evaporate, the fuel loses octane and becomes “stale.” This causes hard starts, pinging and engine knock, which robs your engine of power and can cause damage.
STAR TRON® SOLUTION: Star Tron® is a powerful fuel stabilizer which helps prevent fuel breakdown for up to two years. This results in easier starts and prevents pinging and knocking. Star Tron® improves octane levels of sub-standard, non-spec or old fuel and in many cases can rejuvenate stale fuel, restoring it to serviceable condition.
STAR TRON® SOLUTION: Star Tron’s® enzyme formula helps to break apart large clusters of fuel molecules, creating more surface area. This allows additional oxygen to react during combustion, which results in a more complete burn of the fuel, improved fuel economy, engine power, throttle response and reduced toxic emissions. Star Tron® removes carbon deposits, keeping your engine clean and operating at peak performance.
Star Tron® is a unique, multifunctional fuel additive that addresses all ethanol issues. Star Tron® has been solving fuel problems for boaters across the US since 2003. It will improve the performance of: boats, cars, trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, PWCs, generators, lawn & garden equipment and all other gas-powered engines. Star Tron® is safe for use in all 2 and 4-cycle engines under all conditions, even in ethanol fuels. Star Tron® is an ideal all-season, all-purpose additive, and does all this at one of the lowest costs of any fuel additive.
Be careful of what additive you use – many contain alcohol. Adding more alcohol to ethanol fuels can lead to engine problems. Read the MSDS of any fuel additive before using it with ethanol fuel. Star Tron® does not contain any alcohol and is 100% safe for use in all ethanol blends.
Star Tron® is easy to use, effective and cannot be overdosed.

2009 AMA Daytona SportBike Champion
DANNY ESLICK
1967 YAMAHA 250 RACER Gary Nixon’s Daytona Winner AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Gary Nixon did something incredible back in 1967, and this is one of the motorcycle that helped him do it.
He won the two biggest road races of Daytona Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Fla., riding for two different factories. Nixon won the Daytona 200 for
Triumph the day after riding this 1967 Yamaha 250 to a victory in the 100-mile “lightweight” race at the same track.
“Things were just different back then,” he explains. “Both Yamaha and Triumph wanted a rider for Daytona. I think I got $1,000 to ride the Yamaha, and $300 to ride the Triumph.”
Nixon notes that he rode this Yamaha two-stroke 250cc machine for the first time in practice sessions at Daytona.
“It was a great little 250,” he says. “That thing ran 148 mph.”
The bike was the product of two worlds. It combined the frame of Yamaha’s RD56 grand-prix bike with

Gunnar Lindstrom Husqvarna Engineer, Racer, AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Famer
On his start with Husqvarna in the 1960s “Without a doubt, I was a racer first, but you have to put that in perspective because I was just a kid rolling around. But when I started doing it for real, Husqvarna had just started with the factory team. To get in, you almost had to be an engineer. I had started my formal education in agricultural school, but I switched my major to engineering, so I could build the bikes. By the time I finished my education, I had a fairly substantial race resume, so I was accepted as an engineer on the team with Husky.”
On Husqvarna’s start in the American market “The factory management didn’t want to be in the motocross business. It was
tolerated because the motocross group won races and brought good public relations for Husqvarna. Then word spread to America that Husqvarna was winning races and world championships, and one fellow, Edison Dye, was more persistent than the others in getting Husky to start selling bikes to him as a distributor in America. When it finally hit, it hit hard. Ultimately, it led to the factory committing to the motocross market, building a new manufacturing facility, designing a new engine and expanding to take over distribution in the U.S. itself.”
On Husqvarna’s support of U.S. riders “We wanted Americans to race in Europe, to be successful, to sell motorcycles in the U.S. To make them successful, we needed them to be prominent in results lists.
Our goal was to have an American champion on a Husqvarna. We didn’t quite get to that goal of an American champion, but Brad Lackey in 1976 was close. He was fifth overall, and did well, which was very helpful for sales in America.”
On his new book, “Husqvarna Success” It’s something we’ve been talking about since the early ’90s. In 1996 I started moving on the project and realized that (AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer and Husqvarna legend) Torsten Hallman had the same idea, so he worked from the European side and I worked from here. We called the book “Husqvarna Success,” but there were also some hard times, some political debate and some internal intrigue, which makes the book readable.”

rocKerS! tHe SUBcULtUre LIVeS Mike Seate (left in the photo to the right), founder of Cafe Racer magazine, made sure the cafe crowd was well represented, sponsoring a bike show that attracted some remarkable and refined machines.
Jeff “Shakey” Fowlkes (kneeling, left) and part of his posse of about 30 who made their way to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days from Detroit. “I’ve been coming down for years,” he says. “How many places can you go and see this many makes of motorcycles, all kinds and all ages?”
Scot Harden Desert Racer, AMA Motorcycle Hall Of Famer
On getting his start on motorcycles— and Husqvarnas “I’ve been competitive all my life. Whatever sport I took up, I was competitive. But there’s something about motorcycles. I’m not really into team sports. I liked individual sports. And motorcycling was the ultimate expression of the individual. When I was 14 or 15, “On Any Sunday” came out, and that really became the blueprint for my life. I chased down Baja until I was the lone dust cloud on the horizon. I won the Baja 1000. I did the International Six Days Enduro, and got my medal. I traveled all over the world racing. “On Any Sunday”
gave me a really good road map of what I could be.”
On the appeal of desert racing
“I like the speed. The feeling of speed from a motorcycle just does that for me. I love running from first through sixth, playing around in the upper range of the transmission, that feeling of motion and the big slides and drifts. I would get a thrill of riding along next to the freeway in a whooped-out area, where I’d be passing the cars at like 70 and 80 mph, bouncing across the desert. I loved that.”
On the attraction of AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days “It’s just so cool to be here and see all this passion and all this
enthusiasm. For Husqvarna to be Marque of the Year is just a real honor. I feel fortunate that the AMA selected us for that. The AMA is doing a lot of great things for the sport, and this is just one example.”
On how he views motorcycling differently today “What’s different for me is the fact that I appreciate it all that much more. Having lived through the 1960s and ’70s and ’80s, that golden era of motorcycling, even into this century, to still see the sport stay strong despite the adversity we’re all facing right now is just really reassuring. I have a deeper sense of appreciation for it, and I just feel grateful. It’s so cool to share that feeling with people like this.”
