The Adelanto Grand Prix in Adelanto, California was filled with waves of expert
85 cc motorcycle racers. K&N Engineering Graphic Designer Jeremy Templeman
started behind one of those waves in the beginner section in his 125 cc motorcycle.

excellent filtration and engine protection
“It was a dead-engine start,” said Templeman. “Meaning after they dropped the
flag I kick-started my bike, slammed it in gear and went. Fortunately my bike
started quickly.”

Templeman hit the dirt and headed off into the desert. The only flat
sections of the course were the pavement. All else were abusive whoops or
washboard bumps and a lot of racers crashed. “K&N Engineering Power Sports Brand
Manger John Jump gave me a heads up,” said Templeman. “He let me know how
dangerous it is when you hit a straight section at high speeds and I kept my
straight-away speeds just below the level of losing control.”
There is another spot on the course where the drop off had the police radios
buzzing with broken bones all weekend. “On the second lap I carried more speed
on the drop off and scared myself,” said Templeman. “I managed to keep my bike
upright. My K&N air filter provided excellent filtration and kept the dirt out
of my engine during the dusty race”
The mud-hole jump is notorious because most riders don’t see it coming. “I took
the bypass which had a tough whoop section,” said Templeman. “It worked out
better than going end over end like a few riders did over the mud-hole.”
Templeman rode aggressively and accelerated hard out of turns and braked as late
as possible going into the turns. Overall he was 30th out of 173 and 10th in
Class in the 125 Novice.
“My K&N air filter provided excellent filtration,” said Templeman. “It also kept
the dirt out of my engine during the dusty race.”
