Last post by Biketographer - December 21, 2023, 11:27:16 AM
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX) today announced that Damon Motors, maker of the award-winning HyperSport EV Motorcycle, will be featuring its HyperFighter Superbike at CES 2024 within the NXP® Semiconductors booth CP-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center Central Plaza, January 9-12, 2024. CES, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is widely recognized as the one of the most influential tech events in the world. CES provides a platform to showcase groundbreaking technologies and global innovators including manufacturers, developers, and suppliers of consumer technology products.

"We are pleased to return to CES and feature our innovative HyperFighter Superbike," commented Jay Giraud, CEO of Damon Motors. "CES brings together global leaders within the technology industry and provides the stage to experience leading products from around the world. We are proud to be able to feature our HyperFighter Superbike, which provides users with a new riding experience combining high performance and sleek design with advanced safety technologies that differentiate our bike from others on the market. Separately, we continue to advance our business transaction with Inpixon, which is expected to result in a new publicly traded company on Nasdaq, allowing Damon to further execute our business growth strategy."

Damon has won over a dozen awards for its innovations including a 2022 CES Best in Innovation award for its HyperDrive technology and a 2020 CES Best in Innovation award for its flagship HyperSport motorcycle. The company has also received awards from The Edison Awards, GOOD DESIGN, Digital Trends, Red Herring, Popular Science, Robb Report, and more.

As previously disclosed, Inpixon's board of directors has set December 27, 2023 as the record date for determining the holders of Inpixon's outstanding capital stock and certain other securities ("Record Date Securityholders") entitled to the distribution of all the outstanding shares of Grafiti Holding Inc. owned by Inpixon ("Spin-off Shares") in connection with its previously announced spinoff.

Factors that May Affect the Distribution and Spin-off

The distribution of the Spin-off Shares to the Record Date Securityholders is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In addition, the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including approval of the Business Combination by Damon securityholders, approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and a Plan of Arrangement for purposes of compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the issuance by Grafiti of the merger consideration to Damon securityholders, as well as approval by Nasdaq to list the shares of the combined company. No assurance can be provided as to the timing of the completion of the distribution and the Business Combination or that all conditions to the Spin-off or the Business Combination will be satisfied. Inpixon expects that there will be no public trading market for the shares of Grafiti until or unless the Business Combination is consummated.

Inpixon may elect to change the Record Date for the Spin-off to a later date or to not proceed with the distribution.

All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Inpixon and its management, and Damon and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to:

    the risk that the Proposed Damon Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Inpixon's securities;
    the risk that the public market valuation of the combined company following the consummation of the business combination may differ from the valuation range ascertained by the parties to the business combination and their respective financial advisors, and that the valuation to be ascertained by an independent financial advisor to Damon in connection with the business combination may differ from the valuation ascertained by Inpixon's independent financial advisor;
    the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Damon Transaction, including receiving the necessary approvals from the Damon securityholders and the Supreme Court of British Columbia with respect to the Plan of Arrangement;
    the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Damon Transaction;
    the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Damon Transaction on Inpixon, Grafiti and Damon's business relationships, performance, and business generally;

    the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Damon, Grafiti or Inpixon related to the Proposed Damon Transaction;
    failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Damon Transaction;
    the inability to satisfy the initial listing criteria of Nasdaq or obtain Nasdaq approval of the initial listing of the combined company on Nasdaq;  the risk that the price of the securities of the combined company may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Grafiti and Damon operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies that may impose additional costs and compliance burdens on Grafiti and Damon's operations, global supply chain disruptions and shortages, and macro-economic and social environments affecting Grafiti and Damon's business and changes in the combined capital structure; the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Damon Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities;  the risk that Damon has a limited operating history, has not achieved sufficient sales and production capacity at a mass-production facility, and Damon and its current and future collaborators may be unable to successfully develop and market Damon's motorcycles or solutions, or may experience significant delays in doing so;
    the risk that the combined company may never achieve or sustain profitability;
    the risk that Damon and the combined company may be unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms to finance its operations and remain a going concern;
    the risk that the combined company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations;
    the risk that Damon's $85 million of non-binding reservations are canceled, modified, delayed or not placed and that Damon must return the refundable deposits and such reservations are not converted to sales;
    the risks relating to Damon's ability to satisfy the conditions and deliver on the orders and reservations, its ability to maintain quality control of its motorcycles, and Damon's dependence on third parties for supplying components and manufacturing the motorcycles;
    the risk that other motorcycle manufacturers develop competitive electric motorcycles or other competitive motorcycles that adversely affect Damon's market position;
    the risk that Damon's patent applications may not be approved or may take longer than expected, and Damon may incur substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual property;
    the risk that Damon's estimates of market demand may be inaccurate; and
    other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in Inpixon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period thereafter, as such factors may be updated from time-to-time in Inpixon's filings with the SEC, and the registration statement to be filed by Grafiti in connection with the Spin-off. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

Racing Discussion / First time racing fees and lic...
Last post by Michelled225 - December 16, 2023, 10:51:57 AM
Hello! Can someone provide me some info on East Coast CCS/ASRA and WERA certification process and fees?

So I'm having a difficult time finding pricing and dates for licensing. I was planning on getting online certified through MotoGladiator. I know they have an online certification on EvolveGT's website. After that does Motogladiator do actual licensing during a trackday or do I need to find a different org? I know CCS accepts race licensing from Motogladiator (I'm not sure about WERA) but are they accepting only the EvolveGT online certification or do I also need to have an in-person licensing at a trackday through MotoGladiator after completing the online certification from EvolveGT? Also, What's the latest date I can buy my 2024 license for CCS/ASRA and WERA? I'm also struggling to find info on this. I won't be able to do my first trackday for 2024 until late April/ early May. So am I able to get licensed in May 2024 for the 2024 season? Sorry for all of the questions I'm a first-time racer and the only one trying to race in my area. All of this has been confusing to learn on my own.

Now talking about fees. I remember the EvolveGT online race certification being around I think $165-$170. How much does a CCS/ASRA license usually cost? I think I saw on WERA's website that first-time racers are $90 for a 1-year license and $50 for an AMA membership. And typically how much does it usually cost per racing class? For example, I have a 2016 FZ07 I'm planning on riding in the lightweight super stock and modified twin classes. So how much does it typically run for a practice day. And how much does it usually cost per race day for these racing organizations? Is it usually around $200 for a practice day and around $100 per race on racing day? I know each track varies on pricing along with race classes but having approximations would be very helpful for budgeting.

Thank you!

Sorry, for 2 reasons.

  • I looked through my photos and I did not find any of you.
  • My photographer pass issued by the speedway was for "editorial use only."

"Editorial use only" means I can not sell any of the images.  There are contract photographers that do that.  If I did have a photo of you, I could give it to you, but you also could not use it for commercial purposes.

MILAN, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultraviolette, a pioneering force in future mobility and energy infrastructure captured spotlight at EICMA 2023 with a dual announcement. The company's flagship motorcycle – the F77 made its grand debut in European market in conjunction with the global unveiling of F99 Factory Racing Platform at Milan Motorcycle Show.

Ultraviolette_F77_Airstrike.jpg
The Ultraviolette F77 Airstrike variant


The F77 is first Indian two-wheeler with state-of-the-art battery technology and avionics-inspired vehicle electronics.

Ultraviolette launched the F77 in Europe with deliveries starting in Q2 2024 with three distinctive variants - Shadow, Laser, and Airstrike. The F77 model boasts an impressive 100 Nm of peak torque and 30 kW (40 bhp) of peak power, courtesy the advanced 10.3 kWh battery pack.

The F77 excels in performance, capability, battery technology, safety, ride comfort, handling, and aesthetics, and offers three ride modes - Glide, Combat, Ballistic.

The F77 will be priced between 9,000 to 11,000 Euro in Europe subject to federal / state government incentives and taxes. Ultraviolette will begin accepting registrations on its official website starting 15 November 2023.

Ultraviolette F99 Factory Racing Platform

Ultraviolette's plans extend beyond International-spec F77, with the world premiere of F99 Factory Racing Platform, marking a momentous stride in the realm of electric motorcycle technology. Contrasting with first-gen model, the latest iteration of F99 is a fully-faired motorcycle with advanced battery technology and drivetrain innovations.

One of the most distinctive features of F99 is its active aerodynamics, mirroring principles adopted from supersonic fighter jets. The motorcycle incorporates carbon fibre in the construction of its Active Aerodynamics including the panels and winglets. The Active Aerodynamics are ingeniously integrated at two pivotal locations on the F99 - on air shield, acting as an air windshield, and two front cowl ducts, channelling air to the motor that compresses and releases it through vanes. This mechanism optimizes airflow over the rider's helmet to reduce drag.

Another strategically key innovation is embodied in the Air-Blade, a segment of side fairing, adapting to lean angles to enhance downforce during cornering. Multiple additional winglets are strategically positioned at front and rear of the vehicle to fine-tune aerodynamic efficiency. The F99 boasts an impressive top speed of 265 kph.

The liquid-cooled motor on F99 produces a maximum power of 120 bhp (90 kW), allowing the motorcycle to go 0 to 100 kph in just 3 seconds.

With an aero drag coefficient of 0.45 and kerb weight of 178 kg, the F99 Factory Racing Platform is set to rewrite the rules in the motorsport world.

The Global commercial launch of the F99 is anticipated by 2025. Ultraviolette is actively engaged in discussions with European distributors and dealers to provide an exhilarating experience for riders across the continent.
