According to BetaKit Canadian Tech & Startup News, Vancouver-based EV Hyperbike has seen a mass exodus as the C-Suite and Board of Directors began bailing out in February.
Motorcycle Industry Council members have elected Zach Parham, President and CEO of Comoto Holdings, to the MIC Board of Directors.
“If you had asked me even on the grid, last week, two weeks ago, how I felt coming into the race, I just would have said I had zero chance,” said defending DAYTONA 200 Champ Josh Herrin.
Josh Herrin’s record-setting 4th consecutive DAYTONA 200 win was only half the history making weekend. Kayla Yaakov celebrated International Women’s Day by becoming the first female to make the podium at the DAYTONA 200.
With the 84th running of the Daytona 200 coinciding with Ducati’s 100th Anniversary, the brand from Borgo Panigale is stacking the deck in its favor.

#ShiftingGears At MIC Motorcycle Industry Council members have elected Zach Parham, President and CEO of Comoto Holdings, to the MIC Board of Directors. “Despite a year that presented real challenges for the industry, I'm encouraged by its resilience,” said Derek Brooks, MIC Board Chairman and Motorcycle Product Line Manager at Yamaha Motor USA. “A big question we all had was whether the motorcycle market would rebound after the COVID boom. I’m thrilled to see we’re still pacing ahead of pre-COVID sales volume. That suggests many of those new riders are sticking with it, and the future seems bright for all of us,” Brooks added. “The association will continue to work toward the goal of promoting and protecting motorcycling in the U.S., and I am looking forward to Zach’s contributions to the board.” Subscribe To Dealernews To See The Full Story: https://dealernews.com/Home/post/shifting-gears-at-mic-2/
HERRIN MAKES HISTORY "If you had asked me even on the grid, last week, two weeks ago, how I felt coming into the race, I just would have said I had zero chance," said defending DAYTONA 200 Champ Josh Herrin. Instead of zero chance, he made history at the 84th running of the historic event. Herrin became the only rider with four consecutive wins. He also tied legends Scott Russell and Miguel Duhamel for the most DAYTONA 200 victories with each of the three riders winning the “Great American Motorcycle Race” five times.

HISTORY MADE AT DAYTONA 200 AGAIN Josh Herrin's record-setting 4th consecutive DAYTONA 200 win was only half the history making weekend. Kayla Yaakov celebrated International Women's Day by becoming the first female to make the podium at the DAYTONA 200. Just 18, Yaakov battled with fourth-place finisher Warhorse HSBK Ducati rider Darryn Binder late in the race and made the pass to put herself on the podium.

LIVEWIRE SHOCKS MAMA TRIED SHOW! Mama Tried was founded with the intention to have a bike show with some soul! “Not bolting some bags and mirrors on it and calling it a ‘show’ bike,” is how co-founder Warren Heir, Jr. remembers it. The “social experiment with motorcycles as the glue to hold it together” has evolved into a global phenomenon over the years as an indoor invitational showcasing honest, homebuilt and unusual bikes. “Unusual” being the operative term for the February event. “We are an event company, but really we're an event organization that puts on parties,” notes co-founder Scott Johnson. This year LiveWire crashed the party with a couple unusual customs. Subscribe To Dealernews To See The Full Story: https://dealernews.com/Home/post/livewire-shocks-mama-tried-show/
