All three Screamin' Eagle Harley-Davidsons reached the semifinals for the first time since Angelle Sampey joined the team over the winter. Sampey defeated red-lighting Hector Arana Sr. in round one and Scotty Pollacheck in round two before falling to Krawiec. To reach the final, Krawiec needed a quick left hand in round one, where his 0.017 light al- lowed him to beat Ryan Oehler on a holeshot, 6.91 to 6.90, then faced number-one qualifier Matt Smith, who had received a bye in round one but fell to Krawiec, 6.89 to 6.93. Krawiec then outran Sampey, 6.95 to 6.98 to reach his seventh final of the year and the 85th of his career. Krawiec remained winless in his last 10 final rounds, including seven this year, but remains part of the championship race. CN IN THE WIND P54 Harley-Davidson LiveWire Back In Production T he Harley-Davidson LiveWire elec- tric motorcycle is back in produc- tion, following a stoppage attributed to a "non-standard condition" related to charging processes last week. "After completing rigorous analysis this week, we have resumed LiveWire production and deliveries," Harley-Da- vidson said in a statement. "Custom- ers may continue riding their LiveWire motorcycle and are able to charge the motorcycle through all methods. Tem- porarily stopping LiveWire production allowed us to confirm that the non- standard condition identified on one motorcycle was a singular occurrence. We take pride in our rigorous quality assurance measures and our drive to deliver the world's best motorcycles." If you'd like to hear what the LiveWire is like to ride, here's our First Ride Review. CN Harley-Davidson has turned LiveWire production back on. Krawiec has reached the final round seven times this year but is still winless, though he's still in the title hunt.
