Events Will Include On-Track Instruction and Demo Rides

Buell Motorcycle Company and Sportbike Track Time today announced an agreement to partner for a series of enhanced motorcycle track days at select race track venues during the 2009 riding season.

Under the partnership, Buell will provide instructional sessions for intermediate and advanced group riders on eight dates at four track locations during 2009. The instructional sessions will be conducted by experienced professional riding coaches Nick Ienatsch and Ken Hill and will be open to all intermediate and advanced riders in attendance. Limited on-track demonstration rides will also be available.

The dates and locations of the combined Buell/Sportbike Track Time events are as follows:

Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw, SC, April 25-26

Barber Motorsports Park, Leeds, AL, May 8-9

Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI June 8-9 (immediately following AMA race)

Mid Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, OH, July 20-21 (immediately following AMA race)

Buell could not have partnered with a better organization than Sportbike Track Time to bring to life the incredible experience of track riding. And with the addition of our intermediate and advanced riding instructors Nick Ienatsch and Ken Hill, riders taking advantage of their free service will undoubtedly come away with a greater appreciation of sport riding and how Buell motorcycles enhance that experience," said Gene Ostrom, Director of Strategic Sales and Marketing for Buell Motorcycle Company.

"The presence of Buell and the additional training program offered by Nick and Ken represent an outstanding opportunity and value for Sportbike Track Time riders. We are confident this program will be well received and appreciate Buell's commitment to improving the track day experience of our participants," said Monte Lutz and Bonnie Strawser, co-owners of Sportbike Track Time.
