Shoei’s Jake Zemke Doing His Part for Motorcycle Safety
National Guard Suzuki’s Jake Zemke came to Washington DC to speak with troops from all branches of the US military about motorcycle safety. The US military has an extremely active motorcycling community and Jake was one of several guests that came to this event to educate and entertain the troops while giving riding and product demonstrations. The goal was to pound home the point that training and proper equipment are essential to a safe and enjoyable riding experience!
Meet MotoConcepts Yamaha’s Travis Baker
Shoei’s Travis Baker showed up at the USGP at Glen Helen last weekend to work on developing his bike and gain pro outdoor racing experience. A So Cal local boy, Travis showed solid speed at the GP and earned the respect of his competitors across the pond. During the Supercross season, Travis saw his results improve a bit every weekend. We expect the same from him in the outdoors, too!
Baker’s great performance at the GP earned him a Racer X Privateer Profile. Go T-Bake!

Shoei Riders Fill the Podium in Jerez!
Shoei riders have dominated the first two rounds of the new Moto2 class in the MotoGP series. This class offers an opportunity for young riders to prove themselves against a full grid of nearly identical machines. In fact, the power plants of the entire field are identical Honda 600cc engines. Only the chassis varies by team. This combination provides for incredibly competitive racing, with multiple lead changes often occurring during a single lap!
Shoei rider Toni Elias rode to a popular win in front of his Spanish countrymen. Series points leader, Shoya Tomizawa has been the surprise of the year! Prior to 2010, 15th was his highest finish ever. He’s currently leading the points following his second place finish this weekend. Long time Shoei racer Thomas Luthi rounded out the podium to make it a clean Shoei sweep!
Meet Shoei’s 2010 Breakout Rider Jimmy Decotis!
Jimmy has been impressing East Coast Supercross fans with his top ten privateer finishes!
