the secret weapon for the wet race.





A very relaxed HLR team




Mark has made another rear shock unit, the original shock is the one from the donor motorcross bike which after a few laps losses its firmness and starts to patter the rear, this is an ohlins road/race rear shock with the new linkage made by mark, we didn't use it though, didn't even let bloke see it fitted, as mark wants to get the orginal shock right first.







Its not what you know its who you know,Mark works for Worx Cressent suzuki who are also Rizzla suzuki, which meant we were lucky enough to get VIP passes for the Gp paddock..
