This year, Bert Baker tells me that he has decided to do things a little bit differently. Instead of hoping to meet with you at his very busy Baker Drivetrain booth in big rallies, Bert is going to your own place. Almost… Bert is embarking on a National Seminar Tour stopping at V-Twin dealerships near the place where you live or work, giving you a rare opportunity to spend time with him (he is a quite funny guy), asking him the trickiest transmissions questions one can ask.
At each Dealer stop Bert will be providing a free drivetrain performance seminar open to the public that will cover the latest products now available from Baker, including the DD6 and DD7 transmissions as well as the F5R and F6R reverse systems. Along with the seminar, to anyone interested, Bert will be offering reverse demos with his own reverse transmission demonstration bike. (ask him to do a reverse burnout, but don’t tell him who suggested!)
I can’t list here all the dates. But the tour starts this weekend in Florida (for evident reason, no booth this year at the Daytona International Speedway), then will go to the west coast. Dealers can contact Baker Drivetrain at 877-640-2004 to schedule a date with Bert. Public can contact their dealer to organize such a seminar. Pick your date after the jump.
During Daytona Bike Week.

Bert is the Man!
I would invite the possibility to see Mr. Baker fave to face. Is it possible to post the dates that his tour wil be passing through the South, namely Tuscaloosa Alabama? I have several pertinent questions to pose.
Thanks.
Take Care

Bert, Bert, Bert, Who ya got for the Midwest? How about Freebird Custom Motorcycles LLC in Sioux Falls, South Dakota? I’ll do a media blitz like you can’t believe! Radio, TV, newspapers, and flyers all over the Great Plains! Of course, you ‘an Lisa, and your posse, got a free bed ‘n breakfast to stay at while you’re here. I’ll take care of you big time! Whadda ya say, Buddy, Buddy? Wiz
Excellent idea. Not everybody can go, has the time to go to rallies. But to cover most dealerships in America will take years to Sir Baker….and tons of fuel.
Hey Bert, when are you comming out with a 9-speed?
I like LOUD pipes!
I attended a seminar at my local HD dealer earlier this year with Bert Baker and James Simonelli. Lots of interesting information was dished out. Bert’s a class act, very humble and down-to-earth and James was kind of the class clown. Got to see the reverse drive trans in action. Very cool piece. Bert, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…make one to fit my shovel sidecar with the 6 into 4!!!
Will you be installing the F5R at Sturgis this year??
Great seminar, Caught it in Cinci
Hi guys!
For anyone interested in getting on a future “tour” with Baker as a seminar stopping point – just give a call or email over to Baker and we’d be happy to try to work with you on it! info@bakerdrivetrain.com or 1-877-640-2004
And yes – our plan is to attend Sturgis and be offering installs. Keep an eye on our website and facebook for location and offerings!
I’m looking forward to finally meeting Mr. Baker. We have had the pleasure of speaking to Bert on HogRadio and we totally enjoyed listening to him. One of our funnier and more fun interviews. What a great guy!
