DAVID JAFFE

West Coast GP Cycles team member David Jaffe is off representing in Arizona, but not on the racetrack. Jaffe took his street SV650 for a little cruise along the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway - 120 miles of twisting pavement formerly known as US 666, or "The Devil's Highway." The route was traced in 1540 by Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado as he searched for the Seven Cities of Cibola. Jaffe has found another treasure - some time away from work, an open road and a motorcycle to enjoy that road to the fullest. "Too tired to write more. Going to do the whole thing again tomorrow. Twice. It's GOOD to be on vacation," Jaffe posted on Facebook.

Peter Wilson

Peter Wilson has been an invaluable member of the West Coast GP Cycles crew for months, quietly supporting the team at the track and doing the grunt work in the pits while the riders took all the glory. In April, it was his turn to step up, shining on his shop-prepared Suzuki SV650 in the New Racer race, finishing ahead of a stack of riders on equipment including literbikes.

Andrew Zabzdyr

Young Andrew Zabzdyr led the West Coast GP Cycles charge at the second round of competition at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway with the CVMA. On his carefully-prepped, Pirelli-shod, SuperSport-spec SV650, Zabzdyr started the weekend with a win in SuperSport Twins, a third in Formula Twins and a second – along with teammate Dustin Coyner – in the Team Challenge Lightweight one-hour endurance contest. Zabzydr was back at it the next day, taking second in Formula Twins with a blistering 1:57.3 best lap and then taking the CVMA Lightweight Shootout win.

Albert "The Mayor" Garcia

Al Garcia is ready to step up to the front. A racer with the West Coast GP Cycles team for several seasons, Garcia spent the latter part of 2010 prepping for his 2011 assault on class championships at Willow Springs and the Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association. Garcia invested in the best equipment, worked on his physical fitness, and got his head into the game as well. And it paid off big-time in January, when Garcia and his West Coast GP Cycles-tuned, Pirelli-shod SV650 started the season with a third in 550 Superbike, a second in 650 Twins GP and in Formula Twins Lightweight, a big, shining first place - his first ever win - and a personal best lap ever at Willow.
