FMF Husqvarna TC 125

2018 Dream Race Triple Crown Build

 

 

The FMF 125 Dream race Triple Crown is our way of bringing back our roots. The origins of motocross was bred on premix and race gas, and some of these legends only dream of ripping a national track on a 2-stroke. After the kickoff in Hangtown that saw a packet gate and some intense racing, we took it Thunder Valley and finally Washougal this weekend where we will be giving away this custom built 2018 FMF Husqvarna TC 125. For the racers that competed in the first 2 races will have their chance to win the bike at the Washougal round. Winner will be chosen at random, so you don’t have to be winning, you just need to have the passion!

 

 
 

INDIAN MOTORCYCLE INK

IF RIDING IS IN YOUR BLOOD, PROVE IT

Motorcycles are in his blood. To prove it in grand fashion, rebel and third generation motorcycle rider, Carey Hart used a unique ink to permanently inscribe his son’s name on his neck.

 

A third-generation motocross rider, Indian Motorcycle® worked with Carey to prove that fact in a way that’s half genius, half insane: We collected the carbon from a burnout on one of his Indian Motorcycles, and used it as pigment in sterile and safe tattoo ink to mark him forever. This Indian Motorcycle Ink is composed of carbon ash collected from Carey’s legendary Indian® Super Hooligan outside of Los Angeles, California.

 

 

THE INK

BECOME A PART OF INDIAN MOTORCYCLE LEGEND, BY LETTING IT BECOME A PART OF YOU.

Everyone’s first question: How is this safe? The answer came from Carey’s longtime tattoo artist, Franco Vescovi, co-founder of Nocturnal Ink. Franco brings decades of top-quality ink manufacturing experience to the table, ensuring our process is sterile and safe. The carbon simply acts as a pigment carried by the alcohol suspension. In fact, many black inks on the market use carbon as pigment. Ours just happens to come from a smoldering motorcycle tire and a smoking tailpipe.

 

 

THE RIDER

CAREY’S PERMANENT BURNOUT.

Carey was given his first motorcycle by his father at age four, in hopes of creating a bond that transcended generations. Riding quickly became Hart's passion, and he began racing at age six. Fast forward to 2003, and Hart was the first man to land a back flip on a motorcycle—a feat that will never be forgotten. Today, Carey is either building bikes, riding bikes or donating his time to a multitude of worthy charities. The bond between Carey and riding has never been stronger. Now, he and Indian Motorcycle have made that connection literal, and everlasting.

 

 

THE TATTOO

BLOOD & CARBON. FATHER & SON.

As a long-term partner of Indian Motorcycle, Carey Hart has always been game for pushing boundaries in riding, racing and what it means to be legendary. He recently welcomed his first son, Jameson, into the world. This put an interesting lens on the Indian Motorcycle Ink project. Carey opted to use the ink from the burnout to tattoo his newborn son’s name on his neck—forever bonding his bike, son and himself for the world to see.

SHIFT MX is building strong momentum with their all new MX18 product lineup, offering completely redesigned performance-wear across virtually every category.

The overhauled 3LACK and WHIT3 Label lines not only use collection-specific materials and technology but eliminate weighty TPU trims and other superfluous details. The result is less weight and increased benefits across fit, ventilation, and flexibility. The performance driven 3LACK Label line focuses on ventilation and rider movement, while the WHIT3 Label line is crafted to give core riders the essentials in durability and fit at an unbeatable price. 

 

 

With the introduction of the new WHIT3 Label boot, helmet and goggle, you can now wear SHIFT from head-to-toe without breaking the bank. The WHIT3 Label boot was designed and engineered from the ground up to bring exceptional fit, form, and function. It focuses on premium support and fitment from the ankle down, with just the right amount of protection and durability. In complementary fashion, the WHIT3 Label Helmet sets a new standard for design, fitment, and ventilation.

 

 

Focusing on what the brand calls “Serial Simplicity”, the WHIT3 helmet maximizes technology to enhance weight, fit and ventilation at an unbeatable price. Rounding out the collection is the new WHIT3 Label goggle, offering exceptional sight lines through an expanded eye port and keeping premium features like the 45mm strap, triple density foam package, and smoke lens.

The Hooligan Dirt Dash race series made its debut in Sturgis, South Dakota during the 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally at the legendary Sturgis ½ Mile dirt track. Because it’s run “outlaw” style, largely self-governed by competitors; no official sanctioning body; very few rules for classification beyond rider skill and/or engine displacement Hooligan Dirt Dash races have a grassroots vibe that makes them super popular with fans.

This year's Hooligan Dirt Dash follows last year's hugely successful event which was hosted by Gruene Harley-Davidson in New Braunfels, TX.
