Out in the Buff !

Our thanks go to 'Buff' who have been kind enough to sponsor us with some of their gear for this season. Buff have made their name making headwear for every occasion and have supported motorcycling for a number of years now. The Buff's are great when out on the bike as they keep the cold and drafts out. Check the guys out at https://www.buffwear.co.uk/catalogue/ and see what they have to offer.

Keeping My Rubber Warm

Some more great news today in that Holroyd Tyrewarmers will be supporting us again for a third consecutive season.

Versys Swingarm Stripped to the Bone

To give the ER6 Supertwin that 'factory' look we have had the Versys swingarm stripped of all its paint.
All we need to do now is give the cast areas a clean up, fit new bearings and it will be ready to slot into the newly powder coated frame.

Kawasaki ER6 / Versys Ramair / Airduct

The post arrived today and along with it came this airduct for our Kawaskai ER6 Supertwin. This fits over the top of the radiator, although it does have to be droppped a little and into the standard airbox. Thus giving us a ramair solution with the minimum amount of fuss. More pics will come once it is fitted.

Rizoma Razzle Dazzle


Santa popped in again over the last few days and dropped off these goodies from Rizoma. If you have not heard of Rizoma check them out at their website on http://www.rizoma.com/en/, they manufacture some of the most exquisite aftermarket parts for your motorcycle. For UK Dealers check here. http://www.rizoma.com/en/store-dealer-locator.html
The first thing in the parcel was the Rizoma 'Proguard System', this is a brake and clutch lever guard that prevents against any accidental application. This can therefore prevent accidents from happening when your brake or clutch lever are caught on another rider or bike. They are used extensively in the MotoGP paddock and you can see the brake side on Marquez's bike in the photo. No matter what level of racing you are at then these are certainly worth investing in.
The second item sent was the fuel cap, for anyone that loves beautifully machined pieces of metal then this is just the business, fantastically engineered. As I work in the aircraft industry I know when things are well made, and these are up
there with the best.
More pictures will be added when I have fitted these to the ER6/Versys Supertwin project.

Club 77

Hi all, in order to allow us to compete for the full season we need to raise some cash to ensure expenses can be covered, from entry fees at circa £250-£300 per round, tyres at £280 per set etc etc.
Now the idea behind Club77 is that we would like to get 77 people pledging £77. This would then allow us to compete in the ThundersportGB Supertwin Championship on our Kawasaki ER6. The bike is nearing completion and therefore we just need to cover the running costs.
All 77 people will have their names on the bike and will receive the newsletters produced after each meeting.
In addition I will have T-Shirts made for each sponsor.
If you feel like this may be of interest to you then please drop me a line at hutch7777@hotmail.co.uk
I am glad I won't be running the No.1 though, otherwise this would be the worst case of fund raising known to man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks
