ON ONE WHEEL ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES

Wheelie Device Developed by Keith Code Gears Up with Triumph Speed Triple

LOS ANGELES, California — January 29, 2004 – The On One Wheel wheelie school announced today that they will be using Triumph Speed Triple motorcycles during 2004. The Speed Triple combined with Keith Code’s legendary “Wheelie Trainer.” offers students the ultimate wheelie training machine.

To many motorcycle fans and racers, the post-race ‘wheelie’ celebration has become as much of a victory symbol as the checkered flag itself. On One Wheel offers hands-on wheelie instruction to students during an 8-hour training course. Keith Code, internationally recognized as a foremost authority on motorcycle riding instruction, developed the On One Wheel “Wheelie Trainer” approximately 5 years ago.

The “trainer” consists of two devices that assist the rider in managing to bring the motorcycle back to earth following a ‘wheelie’ class experience.

“Along with a rich heritage, Triumph is known for their high performance standards and the Speed Triple is the most powerful machine in its class,” said Whitney Fair, On One Wheel executive director. “It is the perfect motorcycle for our program of bringing riders up one-step at a time. We are very proud to be associated with Triumph and look forward to a long relationship.

“The responsive handling and performance of the Speed Triple combined with the ‘Wheelie Trainer’ and on-site instructors gives students of all skill levels the keys to the experience and excitement of a controlled wheelie,” added Ms. Fair. “In a hands-on environment, students earn how to reach the balance point consistently and how to keep the bike there using throttle control – another step towards better motorcycle operation.”

Riders interested in enrolling in an 8-hour On One Wheel wheelie school may register on-line at www.ononewheel.com or call for more information in Los Angeles at On One Wheel: 818-957-7104.

Classes are conducted throughout the United States and the cost to enroll is typically $495 per person (see www.ononewheel.com for more information or call the wheelie school).
