Expanded sponsorship for Kuhn

From Toolee Motorsports

Harley-Davidson XR1200 Cup racer Lee Kuhn Jr. will benefit from a expanded sponsorship program with niche powersport products distributor Lean Angle in 2011.

“Lean Angle has been one of my biggest supporters and I am extremely happy that we are continuing that relationship through 2011,” said Kuhn.

Kuhn will be switching between cutting edge designed leathers from newly formed manufacturer, Raceline Custom Racing Leathers, as well as retro styled team leathers from sister company, Lost Era Vintage Leathers.

XR specific Tech Spec 'Gripster' tank grip pads have been designed and Kuhn will be running them on his 2011 Harley-Davidson XR1200X.

The MICS 'Medical Data Information Carrier System' will be the other product supplied by Lean Angle. The self adhesive black plastic pouch and waterproof information card attached to a rider's helmet ensures medical information is readily accessible to first responders when the unthinkable happens. It also warns good Samaritans to leave helmet removal to trained EMS personnel.

“As a medical student, I can’t stress the importance of the MICS pouch," Kuhn added. "It is something we are trained to automatically look for as first responders. I think they should be mandated by all racing organizations.”

Lean Angle is a distributor of best-of-breed, niche powersport products including TechSpec Gripster Tank Grip Pads, the Medical Data Information Carrier System, Lost Era vintage leathers and RaceLine Custom Racing Leathers. More information can be found at www.leanangle.ca.

Kuhn’s other sponsors include Inside Motorcycles magazine, Race Tech, P1 Fitness, Arai, Great Northern Battery, Carson Signs, Binbrook Auto Service, Rennie Heating & Air, Hercules Tires, P & A Plastics and Wentworth Metal Recyclers.
