This is MY TEAM TO WATCH THIS YEAR!  It’s great to see Buell still going.

This past offseason, Team AMSOIL road racing rider Larry Pegram made a major move from his previous Ducati bike to the BMW S 1000 RR. After months of testing, Pegram unleashed the new bike at the opening round of the 2011 AMA Pro Road Racing American Superbike Series at Daytona International Raceway in Daytona, Fla. Although he placed ninth off the pole and fell further behind after a first-lap crash, Pegram remounted and worked his way up to seventh. On Saturday, he pushed his new bike one spot better, finishing sixth.

“Daytona didn’t go exactly how I had hoped,” said Pegram. “But the BMW S 1000 RR is a fast bike and I feel like we’ve really got it dialed in now. We’re looking forward to the next race and I think this is going to be a great season.”

Team AMSOIL/EBR rider Geoff May climbed aboard his proven EBR 1125 model to finish 20th and 12th respectively. The team will unveil the new EBR 1190R bike later this spring.

“There are always a few gremlins at the first race of the year, but we know the 1190 is coming soon and Geoff did a great job despite the lower horsepower,” said team owner and legendary bike builder Erik Buell. “The AMSOIL bike was a big hit in Daytona, and everyone was excited to see us back in the Superbike class.”

The AMA Pro Road Racing season resumes May 13-15 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.

Pegram, a career professional motorcycle rider for the last twenty years juggles his time managing the most successful independent Superbike team on the circuit while at the same time raising two young girls with his wife Heather. His dad Jim works full-time at the team shop, while his mother tends to the books and feeds the crew on weekends.

“The show is about my dream of becoming a Superbike Champion. Actually, it’s our dream," said Pegram. "My parents have been helping me race motorcycles since I was a kid and they’re still here at every race working on the crew. My mechanics are the best and are so committed to this team. They do as much if not more than teams who have twice the manpower. We even have sponsors that after writing the check, help out on the weekends working in the pits. It’s definitely a family effort and we’re real proud of what we have accomplished going up against the factory teams. It’s not easy but all of us are chasing our dream.”
