IN THE WIND P26 WORLD SUPERS: NEW RULES FOR ALL W ith the new 2015 World Su- perbike rules released at Misano, the main points are that the class will be of one techni- cal spec again - somewhere be- tween a current full World Super- bike and an Evo machine. On balance the idea of the rules being more Evo than full Superbikes has not proven to be true, as the main outlines of the rules show. 1. One class – with the same rules for all. 2. Chassis rules mostly as 2014, with some tightening of World Superbike rules for 2015? More World Superbike than Evo.

Inspired by Ed Youngblood's book: "John Penton and the Off-Road Motor- cycle Revolution," the two-hour and 15-minute film chronicles the life of off-road legend, patriarch and entrepreneur John Penton. In addition to a healthy turnout from the motorcycle industry, the event was attended by the movie's director Todd Huffman, narrator Lyle Lovett, Penton's son Jack, wife Gigi, and the star himself, John Penton. "On Any Sunday" star and racing legend Malcolm Smith was also in attendance. So far there are 39 screen- ings planned nationwide.
