Kendon Industries, Inc., the originator of a full line of Stand-Up motorcycle trailers and folding motorcycle lifts, has recently unveiled their Limited Edition Dual Rail trailers for motorcycles as part of their 20th Anniversary Celebration. The latest evolution in Kendon’s patented product line, this limited edition version of the vastly popular dual motorcycle trailer includes a show-stopping custom black/orange two-tone color scheme and is completely loaded with accessories and upgrades that are not available on any standard model.

“This trailer is the result of 20 years of hard work,” says Kendon President Frank Esposito. Equal amounts of inspiration and perspiration have gone into this design… We honestly sweat the smallest details!” The high-intensity LED tail lights, smooth rolling high mileage radial tires, lightweight aluminum wheels and American-made DOWCO trailer covers tailored to fit are just some examples of the attention to detail that defines the Kendon difference.

Each Kendon trailer is hand built to strict standards. Everything from smooth rounded edges of the diamond plate to precision bends of the metal frame are handcrafted and inspected on this commemorative trailer. Customers are truly receiving one-of-a-kind, individually handcrafted motorcycle trailers. “These are all proven elements we learned from years of experience and from listening to our customers, explains Esposito, there are no second chances for a first impression.

Despite packing in 20 years worth of refinements, the same convenient portability and easy storage that have been Kendon hallmarks for the past two decades remain. These two-rail motorcycle trailers can be easily folded-up and moved on their own built-in casters for convenient storage in an out-of-the-way corner of your garage when in their Stand-Up configuration. Actual dimensions of the folded trailer are just 27-inches deep by 93.5-inches tall by 84 inches wide.

Standard features of this USA-made trailer include a massive 2,000 lb. weight capacity and a full size spare tire. It also has a new longer, user-friendly ramp with side rails, a new rear section lockdown clamp and integrated wheel chocks which, combined with the existing low trailer platform, allow for a better loading experience. All of Kendons dual rail trailers incorporate independent torsion bar axles, which make towing one or two bikes safe, quiet and smooth. As an added feature, the rails on these trailers can be removed so the trailers can be used as utility trailers for transporting ATVs and/or general cargo. Accessories and upgrades incorporated into the 20th Anniversary Limited Edition model include:

Nico Hulkenberg put Force India on top of the timesheets on the second morning of pre-season testing at Barcelona, setting the fastest time of the week so far at the Catalan circuit. Tyre compounds proved decisive as the conditions improved on a morning also notable for the absence of Lotus – the team having elected to abandon the test after discovering chassis problems on the opening day . Hulkenberg had been near the front for the majority of the session, but he moved well clear in the final 30 minutes when he switched to Pirelli’s super soft compound and clocked a 1m22.608s

New Caterham F1 signing Vitaly Petrov says he is relieved to have sorted his future in F1 after months of uncertainty. The Russian is replacing Italian Jarno Trulli at the team after weeks of speculation about his future. The deal was completed too late for him to join the opening test at Jerez last week, meaning that his first opportunity to drive will be the Barcelona test that begins on Tuesday.

The Repsol Honda MotoGP team has a small army of press officers working for them. In addition to the PR person assigned to each rider, as is common for all of the factory MotoGP riders, Honda also has PR people from Spanish petroleum sponsor Repsol, as well as their Honda Pro Racing arm, aimed at providing press information for all of the Japanese giant's racing activities. 

The good news for race fans is that the army of press officers also generate a small mountain of press releases, interviews and other information. Today, Honda provided the transcript of an interview produced with the 2011 World Champion Casey Stoner, conducted during the first Sepang test at the beginning of February. The interview provides a fascinating insight into the mind of the Australian, and his thoughts on racing and life. In the interview, Stoner discusses how the new 1000s are different from the 800s, whether the racing will change much, the challenges he faced defending his first title and interestingly, the differences between his legendary clash with Valentino Rossi at Laguna Seca in 2008, and the move that amazed even Kevin Schwantz, Stoner's pass on Jorge Lorenzo at the terrifying Turn 1 in 2011 at the same circuit.

Below is the interview, in the form of a press release, as issued by the Honda Pro Racing service:
