Jotagas in Aust

All good things come to those who wait. 

Well, today the boat just arrived with the new Jotagas. (JTG) Trials bikes.

 

We have been eagerly awaiting the bikes since earlier this year.  Jotagas had the common sense to ship a first test bike out to the importers and distributors for appraisal, as they are very keen to have this new bike well sorted for the general release of the model.

 

The factory has been very good at communicating with all of their importers, implementing any improvement that would help to establish Jotagas as a top contender in the Trials market.

 

After spending quite a bit of time on the pre production bike, and dealing with JTG the last few months  I am very very impressed with the bike, the company, their communication and service. They will go a long way.

 

The bike feels small and light, at 65kg. The riding position is very comfortable with great handle bar to footpeg relationship. When balancing the bike, it is the closest thing to cheating that I can think of. The JT300 has plenty of power on tap and is very rideable. The 300 has loads of torque which makes using the higher gears easy. The good thing is that it will also rev when called upon. Great turning circle, easy to maintain and service, and pretty damn good to look at too!

 

The suspension on this first production machine I can honestly say feels brilliant, being very plush in the rear and front ends. Most of us already know the Tech front fork is rated very highly, having been chosen for the latest GasGas Raga and Sherco Cabestany models; this is standard equipment for the Jotagas. They have chosen all top quality componentry to compliment the design and performance.

The bikes should be customs cleared and at our factory in the next week, and we will be doing pre-deliveries and contacting customers shortly after.

Very exciting times for us and Trials in Australia.

Death mars Dakar rally opening

THE death of Argentinian rider Jorge Martinez Boero overshadowed the first day of the Dakar Rally yesterday during which Russia's Leonid Novitzkiy lead the cars section and Chilean Francisco Lopez the motorbikes.

The 38-year-old Boero, making his second appearance on the gruelling rally, suffered a heart attack after being seriously injured in a fall from his Beta bike 2km from the end of the stage between Mar del Plata and Santa Rosa de la Pampa in the west of Argentina.

Organisers said that Boero received medical attention within five minutes of the crash and was airlifted by helicopter, but died on his way to hospital.

Boero, they said, "was the victim of a fall at kilometre 55 of the special of the first stage between Mar del Plata and Santa Rosa".

"The rider suffered a cardiac arrest following his fall and was attended five minutes after the accident by the medical staff, who reached the place of the incident by helicopter.

"The organisers of the rally offer their heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones."

"Despite their best efforts, the doctors were unable to resuscitate the pilot, who died while he was being taken to hospital.

Boero was the son of a former Argentinian racing champion of the same name who died in 2004. His only previous Dakar Rally appearance last year ended when he crashed into a ravine during stage six in Chile and had to wait eight hours before being rescued.

Boero's death was the 21st of a competitor during a Dakar Rally, organised 29 times in Africa from 1979 before moving to South America in 2009.

In total, 59 people have died during the rally, including more than 20 spectators.

"It's a real tragedy. He's a boy that we knew well," said race director Etienne Lavigne. "There's a lot of emotion at the camp tonight. It will be tough to start tomorrow. But it's the biggest tribute we could give him. The competition continues."

2012 Beta's have landed

The first of the 2012 Beta's have arrived in WA, a couple of 250's and a 125. There two 4 strokes heading to WA in the next couple of shipments.

Motorcycling WA Communique

Australian Moto Trials Champs-All WA Senior Competitors finish in Top
Ten

Neil Price the best of the locals at Australian Trials Championship

Kiwi Jake Whittaker has upset the locals, winning the 2011 Australian
Moto Trials Championship in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
Motorcycling Western Australia member Neil Price was the best of the
Australian riders, finishing in second ahead of fellow Trials des
Nations teammate Kyle Middleton from New South Wales.

West Australian's Lewis and Alex Nolan finished 7th and 10th which is a
great effort as they have been unable to compete at all event's this
season. This also meant that all WA rider's that competed in the event
finished in the Top Ten in Australia.

Held in the picturesque Barossa Valley over two days, competition was
fierce with Price coming from fifth after the first day to take second
and his third consecutive podium at the National Championship event.

Krisite McKinnon claimed her third Australian Championship, winning the
Women's title ahead of defending champ Michelle Coleman, while Amanda
Cummins (Tier 1) and Lucinda Clarke (Tier 2) blew the field away to take
out the Junior Women's classes.

Jonathon Chellas walked away with the Open Junior title, Connor Hogan
finished top of the pile in the Junior 7-12 class.

Rob Jones was the best of the Masters class, Lachlan Gibson claimed the
Youth class crown, while the team of Luscombe and Sparkes won the
Sidecar title.

Neil Price No 1 Australian Moto Trials Rider 2011

> Neil has maintain his Australian No 1 ranking after finishing best Australian at the Vine Inn Barossa 2011 Australian Moto Trials Championships in South Australia's Barossa Valley. Riding the only Beta Factory 300 in Australia he finished in 4th place at the end of the first day of competition. Neil said, "I made some dumb mistakes early which cost me dearly and it's going to be tough to peg back those lost points". However that's just what he did on Day Two, he had a brilliant ride to finish 3 points ahead of his Trials des Nations Aust team mate Kyle Middleton. Neil said, "I just kept to my comp strategy and the Beta Factory bike was unbelievable, it was so smooth, it was awesome. Now I need to go one better and peg back NZ rider Jake Whittaker".
Congratulations Neil.

The rest Team Dynamics also had a good weekend, Lewis and Alex finished 7th and 10th which is a great effort considering that they haven't ridden much this year, so all our senior team riders are in the Aust's top ten. Our junior boy riders Luke and Joel can be proud of their rides. Luke competing in open junior was up against a strong older group of riders but did himself and us proud of his ride. Luke finished 15th of 16 riders but the points difference between 10th and 15th was only 53 points after two days of competition. Luke had some big steps to go up and some very tough sections. Joel riding junior 7-12 year olds finished 4th of 7 riders. Our junior girls Meg & Luci also had a top ride following on from their junior women's cup win. They entered the 2nd tier of women's junior which wasn't a official class but they finished 1st & 2nd with Luci coming out in front. Meg had a ear infection which ended up bleeding, so she was a bit off her game.

Team Dynamics update Aust Nats Barrossa South Oz

With Day One done and dusted Team Dynamics is positioned well. Neil is sitting in 4th only 6 points of second. Lewis is 7th only 4 point off 5th and Alex is in 10th. This is very similar to the positions after day one last year.
Our junior boys team is toughing it out in a very strong field, Luke who is riding against 16 year old A & B grade riders in hard C to easy B sections, in a field of 16 Luke is in 15th but he has had some great rides and some tough ones which are all great experience. Next year Luke will find as the 16 year old juniors move out he will quickly move up the placings. Joel is riding well in the 2nd tier junior sections for his first ever national championships sitting in 4th, Joel has found it fairly tough but is coming to grips with it.
Our juniors girls Megs & Luci are placed 1st & 2nd, can't do better than that. The hard work and training has paid off for the girls.
With a good run tomorrow we could see our team riders moving up a number of positions and in Megs and Luci's case that they hold their position.
