National Powersport Auctions (NPA) is combining two great traditions this July: America’s 250th Anniversary and National Powersports Month, with patriotic festivities at every NPA auction location.

Used Bikes Direct, one of the country’s leading pre-owned sportbike dealers, has stepped up as title sponsor of the inaugural Moto-Texas Superbike Challenge, presented by the Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA) at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas, over Fourth of July weekend.

SEMA continues to roll out the red carpet to welcome the powersports industry to the 2026 trade show.

The 4th of July weekend is historically one of the biggest riding weekends of the year—and unfortunately, one of the biggest weekends for powersports theft.

The whole package? Effective June 19th, Polaris Inc. has given Dustin J. Semach a seat on the company’s Board of Directors.

The draft is over and Dealers in Miami have a new play caller joining the LeMans team.

“After six years at Zero Motorcycles Inc., it’s time to close this chapter. Started on social. Ended up owning global marketing automation. In between, a bit of everything.” says hard charging EV exec Patrick Flynn.

Better Together: To assist the National Powersports Dealer Association’s efforts to “connect” with more constituents, powersports pro Steve Gotoski joins the team as Membership & Marketing Director in the run up to the association’s industry networking event, DealerConnect.
