First round of the Harley Davidson trophy races, bloke was asked to ride in the series by Phil Jessop who is http://www.ridersmotorcycles.com/ qualified 4th, finished 2nd not a bad
wekkend away.
The bike waiting to go on the dyno, the top 3 and 3 random others are dyno'd and weighed, the bike came out with 89 bhp and topped the scales at 240kg, the others tested had between 93 and 95 bhp which with a bike this heavy is a big disadvantge this showed in the speed traps. Off to Mallory in 4 weeks for a double header, cant wait, not.

spa supermono


spa-francorchamps for the first race of 2010, entered the european supermono race with Mark Hannas suzuki moto450, sabina. Miss June in the Carole Nash 2010 calender.




The tunnel into the paddock is being repaired so we had to use the track to get in, can't beat track time even in the van, we did the caravan on the inside, lol.

Brand new carbon exhaust, lasted 5 laps.
