March 29, 2011 - PRLog -- California Scooter Company (www.CSCMotorcycles.com) announced today that Arlene Battishill, president of motorcycle clothing company Go Go Gear (www.gogogearla.com), finished 1st in the 150cc class and 3rd overall in the Salton Sea TT Endurance Rally.    Battishill rode a 150cc standard engine California Scooter, beating several other machines of larger displacement in the 400-mile endurance event.

The Motor Scooter International Land Speed Federation (www.motorscooterlandspeedfederation.org) organized the one-day event, which consisted of three loops around southern California’s Salton Sea.  

“Arlene's approximate average speed of nearly 48 miles-per-hour was nothing short of phenomenal, especially considering the 40-mile-per-hour sustained headwinds on Highway 86 between Brawley and Mecca, and a bandaged/splinted finger on her throttle hand,” said Alan Spears, the MSILSF event organizer. Spears and MSILSF also organized the 2010 motor scooter world speed record event (a modified California Scooter also won that event’s 150cc class).  Spears mentioned that Battishill, in an extraordinary gesture of sportsmanship and camaraderie, passed her 3rd Place Overall trophy to Ryan Jeffries for his performance.  Jeffries was in third place overall and leading the 175cc Class when the drive belt on his Genuine Buddy motor scooter failed, sending him into a 180-foot slide less than 8 miles from the finish.

“We’re happy to see our bikes do well in events like this,” said Steve Seidner, CSC Motorcycles President and Chief Executive Officer.   “Every time we participate in a competitive event of this nature, we learn a little more about our bikes and how to improve them, and that’s what competition is all about for us.  We’re delighted with the bike’s performance, we’re happy the Salton Sea Event was a success, and we’re proud of Arlene and her accomplishment.  You can bet we’ll be there next year.”

California Scooter Company makes street-legal, 90+ mpg small motorcycles based on the styling of the 1950’s-era Mustang motorcycle (which was also made in California).  Go Go Gear makes unique motorcycle safety apparel for both men and women, and has won numerous awards for its trend-setting stylish clothing.
