TSN's Motorcycle Experience – Saturday May 1st, 10:30am
April 25, 2010... Be sure to watch the May 1st broadcast of TSN's Motorcycle Experience for a fun segment featuring ME's host, Dave Hatch, and Bar Hodgson riding 2 Vincent Black Shadows from the Bar Hodgson Collection. The segment was just shot last week on a gorgeous spring day, after Bar offered Dave the chance to ride one of these rare and legendary motorcycles. Bar rode the 1953 Black Shadow formerly owned by Doug McPherson (a one-owner bike and original survivor), while Dave rode the 1951 Black Shadow, formerly owned by Ron Stupart (now with 2 brand new carburetors and running great), with the cameras shooting them as they motored along country roads. Mid-way the 2 riders switched bikes to compare rides. Dave noted afterwards that he was shocked at how smooth the 'old' bikes were, how supple the suspension felt, and amazed at the power put out by the engine. Motorcycle Experience will air Saturday, May 1st at 11:30am.

Italian Motorcycle Parts Treasure Trove - Hidden for decades, and recently unearthedJanuary 1, 2010 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEBar Hodgson Productions acquires renowned 'Romanelli Collection' Inventory The loudbike e-Store returns with an amazing array of rare, new original stock (NOS) vintage Italian motorcycle parts. Under an agreement with Bar Hodgson Productions (BHP), the e-Store will offer The Romanelli Collection - an OEM and aftermarket inventory acquired by BHP from Francesco Romanelli in November. loudbike will manage and market over 8,000 products from Ducati, Moto Guzzi, MV Agusta, Bimota, Tomaselli, Marvic, Capagnolo (Tecnomagnesio), EPM, Verlicchi, Dellorto, Mallossi, NCR, Marzocchi, and Brembo for BHP from its Ottawa, Canada warehouse. Romanelli is renown in the Italian motorcycle community for his role as distributor for Italian manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers during the 70's and 80's. Although Romanelli shifted his attention to his engineering business, he retained his remaining spares inventory for over 20 years. Bar Hodgson, Founder and President of the North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW stated, "I've been aware of the Romanelli Collection for 35 years and recognized it as an important treasure trove of unobtainable NOS items. When Steve informed me of Romanelli's interest in selling, I asked him to help me to craft a deal. This is a truly exciting opportunity and an important legacy to preserve through an e- business." Steve Munro, author of the loudbike blog (www.loudbike.com), operated the successful loudbike e-Store for two years prior to selling it to Anthony Creek (DesmoWorks) in 2006. "When I discussed the Romanelli Collection with Bar at Mosport last May, I had no idea that I'd be reviving the old e-store and unpacking this astounding collection" said Munro. "The community will be amazed by the scope of our product line when we go live". loudbike's initial eBay sampling has seen items aggressively snapped up by worldwide buyers. The e-Store (www.loudbikestore.com) will launch in February 2010. In the interim, loudbike will offer a sampling of the collection through its eBay store (http://www.loudbikesteve.com).

That crash ended the Team's efforts for the record in 2008 but the streamliner (a turbo-charged Honda-engine based 500cc enclosed motorcycle built by Bob Williams of Windsor, Ontario) was repaired and rebuilt with the intention of going after the record again during the 2009 BUB Meet, taking place next week, August 29 through September 3rd. An episode of the television show Off Limits was filmed during last year's run and will air this fall on RUSH HD, including footage of Hodgson's crash as well as the numerous time trials and licensing runs leading up to the actual record attempt. This year's pilot, Dave Lloyd, is a respected Canadian motorcycle racer, having been involved with motorcycles and racing throughout his career. He currently sits on the Board of the Canadian Motorcycle Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame. He was also a member of last year's streamliner crew at Bonneville. Following this year's record attempt, this amazing vehicle, the team that created it and the rider who plans to make history in it will be on display during the North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW in January 2010 at the Toronto International Centre.
