John Parker

.






Via : www.offroadmotorcycles.ca



The above photo is a perfect representation of the ‘Johnny Parker’ era I remember so fondly. I was just a little kid in the stands at Welland County Speedway, watching Parker hammer around with a ton of ’70s hair streaming out behind his Kawasaki or Harley XR750. My parents used to ‘sugar me up real good’ and force me to have a Saturday afternoon nap so I had a fighting chance of staying up long enough to watch the finals. Invariably the show would run late, and lots of times I’d fall asleep on the wooden bleachers listening to the ferocious sound of a pack of XR750s.

The next morning I’d tell my friends all about the races, and before long we’d be scraping our knees to the bone racing our bicycles around in circles. Naturally I’d be rocking the 111 of Johnny Parker, I mean, by putting his number on my Schwinn how could I lose? Besides, it was an easy number to replicate with electrical tape.

Parker, who holds five CMA #1 titles, 21 National Titles, 32 Provincial titles also has the record for the most National wins in a row and has won the coveted White trophy. Of course he has a small handful of rivals, but it’s safe to say he’s pretty much dominated Dirt Track in Canada.

Now, a whole bunch of years later, I got to know John a bit through his job as Shop Operations Manager of the motorcycle department at Budds BMW where he’s taking care of our long-term test BMW G450X. Honestly, I was a bit nervous about meeting him since he was a hero of mine as a kid, but before long we got talking about dirt track and all the people we both knew. A few days later we were hanging out n his garage, digging through old photos and talking motorcycles, just like a pair of kids who never really grew up.

Parker is still racing, winning and psyching-out the younger racers in the pits. And he’s just as fast as ever, finishing second to Don Taylor in 2009. He’s long been associated with Kawasaki Canada, and his home business, John Parker Racing, is a leader in dirt track engine and chassis technology. For motoheads, like you and I, the amount of craftmanship that goes into a Pro-level dirt track bike when compared to your average motocross bike is sick. Sick enough in fact to make even factory MX bikes look downright agricultural. They say a picture tells a thousand words. If that’s the case, then the following thousand or so photos can give any classic adventure novel a run for the money.

The following pics are from John Parker’s personal archives, unless otherwise noted.

STAR SAIL BOAT


This is the first post with which we start to talk about sail boat.Sailing is my former and first passion, before to join the motorbike world.
I don’t know why, but I am sure that sailing is a common passion among bikers.

Anyhow we will start to talk about sailing with the ultra famous, vintage & classic STAR boat.

The Star was designed in 1910 by Francis Sweisguth, with a very modern racing approach, like:
Reduced to a minimum the wet surfaces.
Enlarged to a maximum the air covered surface, with its 26 m2 of sail compared to the boat length
Enough light with approx 650 kg per 6,922 of LOA (length over all) and almost 10 m of mast.

With a crew composed by two person, the STAR become immediately World Class Olympic, and lasted for more than 20 years.

The sharp edges of the hull always impressed me, but I think it is necessary to give some more stability.

In spite the STAR Class is so “aged” the fleet can still count on more than 2.000 active boat in Europe and North America.

Harley Davidson Circa 2020

Looking into the future, designer Miguel Cotto’s Harley Davidson concept looks like it came straight out of sci-fi. The futuristic concept is dated for 2020, and has an 883cc engine for power and the familiar roar of the Harley. Then there’s the sleek design, hubless wheels and the overall look, all indicators to a motorcycle of the future. The design is nearly tron-like in execution. Check out the wheel hubs. They’re in fact huge bearings. So with all those usual stuff practically present, all you need now is your futuristic helmet and futuristic getup.
