Hi, My name is Vance Earl. For the last 17 years I have raced motorcycles. I started out in the trail rider class on a 500 Honda. I kept working my way up until I made it to the Pro class. I have had a great career racing. And I just can‘t seem to give it up.. I love it! My family loves it. I have been married to Susan for almost 15 years, and we have two children, Paige 11 and Evan 8. I have had their total support the entire time.

Just like anything you have to take the good with the bad. I have had my share of wins and losses. I have had my share of injuries too, some serious and some minor. I am not a stranger to the ER and the orthopedic doctor. It just goes with the sport.

Bikes, you name it, I have ridden it. I am currently on a Kawasaki KX450F. It is a great bike. I feel in order to do good racing, you have to feel comfortable on your bike. My bike has to “feel right” on race day.

Maintenance is the key, don’t wait until Friday to look at your bike for the race on Sunday. My bike and gear usually get washed on Monday, this way I know if I need parts or anything for the following weekend. It is also important to make sure that you regularly check your bike, your air filter, bolts, chain, just all the basic stuff to keep it in top working order. Have you ever had your seat bolts fall out and had to stand up the whole race? It doesn’t take but once and you will make sure you check them! Ever changed the oil, except forgot to put the oil back in??? I made it to the podium in a GNCC, couldn’t figure out why it was making that noise… Yeah, I make mistakes too. However, you may consider attending one of my 'Bike Setup' Classes, to learn how to properaly setup your bike, and avoid many of these pitfalls. You will find all the info listed below. 

Sincerely

Vance Earl
