Josh Kurpius Re-Defining the Art

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 11:21 AM PDT

If your involved in the motorcycle scene (rider or company) or specifically hang around the Limpnickie Lot, Broken Spoke, Daytona, Sturgis, etc etc or do a lot of back roads riding (US, Europe, South America etc), or read mags such as Cycle Source, The Horse, Back Street, etc, you’ve either seen or heard of Josh Kurpius and his work.  That young man riding and photographing (still and video) the lifestyle in a raw, no-holds-bared approach.  Josh, not only rides, wrenches and captures images, but he’s a person that has found his calling in this life.  To capture a lifestyle he lives in a way that captures the imagination and i’m suspect to say the wandering spirit of many of us. When you get a chance check out his work here.  He, like Michael Lichter have taken the art into an area few can venture and presented to their viewers the heart and soul of motorcycling. Keep riding Josh!  Hope to catch up with you on some remote back road in the near future.

Mark Finnie of Performance Machine Industry Leader of the Year

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 10:09 AM PDT

At the annual V-Twin Motorcycle Expo, The "Industry Leader of the Year" award was given to the person at an industry company that shows an unequaled vision, strategy and a dynamic business sense during the past year. Mark Finnie, President of Performance Machine, was named the "2011 Industry Leader of the Year" during the Excellence in Motorcycling Awards ceremony held at the V-Twin Expo. Finnie will tell you it is a team effort that wins awards and gives credit to his employees. Finnie has a degree in engineering and was hired to lead Performance Machine nearly three years ago and accepted the PM presidency during an economic downturn, which may have intimidated some, but not Mark…he was up for the challenge. Mark set his sights on new business development and successfully launched the first forged wheel program for the trike (3-wheeled motorcycle) market and is currently ready to launch a new forged wheel program for the off-road truck and Jeep markets. This will be the first venture for Performance Machine outside the motorcycle market. Finnie stated, "Diversifying our interests ensures that we can continue to grow while the economy takes its toll on the motorcycle market as well as other markets".

Performance Machine, a world-leading manufacturer of forged wheels, brakes, controls and accessories just celebrated its 40th anniversary and currently operates out of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility complete with testing lab in the city of La Palma. "At Performance Machine motorcycle parts are our passion" stated Finnie. "We have a new philosophy at PM and that's to do what we do best…manufacture forged wheels, brakes and related accessories and form alliances with other industry leading companies, both within the motorcycle market as well as the automotive market", added Finnie. Performance Machine continues to set standards in the motorcycle industry with everything from design, testing, manufacturing and secondary operations performed in-house in order to maintain superior quality, all under the careful supervision of their President, Mark Finnie. PM products are pieces of art that help riders create a one-of-a kind ride. All PM products are designed to help riders create a cohesive, custom look with timeless beauty that lasts forever…That's why world-class bike builders have been using PM products for years!
