Missing Brands

Unfortunately I have to report that we will not be competing at Brands this coming weekend. This is due to some engine parts that were ordered prior to Christmas have only just arrived today. As you will appreciate this doesn't allow us time to finish building the engine and the rest of the bike for tomorrow. Apologies to everyone for this. Al

ER6 Supertwin Front Subframe

Colin has been busy again. Now we have the fairing for the bike from the kind guys at Extreme Performance Solutions, Colin has been making the front subframe to hold everthing in place. As you can see it is all coming to gether nicely. If you need anything for your ER6 or SV650 Supertwin then give him a shout on 07843 557374 or check out his website at http://www.roadandracedevelopments.co.uk/

Moto2 ? ER6 ? Supertwin ?

A massive thanks to Mark at Extreme Performance Solutions who has supported us with a Suter MMX Moto2 Fairing. Mark is the UK importer for Sebimoto (http://www.sebimoto.cz/) who produce bodywork for most of the Moto2 and MotoGP girds so you know this is top quality gear. Mark also supplies the Honda TT Legends Team so we are in good company. Please check Mark out at http://x-p-s.co.uk/default.asp or give him a call on 01325 778358.
Don't worry though as we intend to replace Colin with a fairing bracket as soon as we have the motor in place and can line everyting up. There are two reasons for this, firstly it would be dangerous for him to hold it in place once the bike is in motion and secondly I am not sure he would be able to keep up:-) I may be biased but i think the bike is starting to look very trick.

2012 Race Calendar

As per my previous blog and the fact we will not be riding the Harley this year, our concentration will be focused on the Supertwin. Therefore we have looked and decided to compete in the ThundersportGB Championship as it provides good TV coverage for the races. In addition to this we intend to compete in the inaugural Supertwin race at the International North West 200 in Northern Ireland as well as the Cock o' North and Gold Cup races held at Olivers' Mount in Scarborough.

Harley No More

Unfortunately it now looks as if the Harley Davidson XR1200 Trophy will not be running in 2012. The guys had been trying hard to secure the backing for the series but time has run out on them getting the deal sorted. This is a great shame to ourselves as we managed some good results last year and were looking forward to picking up where we left off. This now leaves us to concentrate on the Supertwin although there may yet be a couple of outings on a Supermono but more of that later.

Keeping A Check On My Fluids ?

Goodridge have been kind enough to support us over the last few seasons, and I am pleased to say they will be with us again for 2012. For starters Goodridge will be providing us with brake lines for our Kawasaki Supertwin incorporating their amazing G-Link 'quick disconnect couplings'. These allow the brakes to be removed without the need to bleed them afterwards. For more information on what Goodridge can provide please check them out at http://www.goodridge.net/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/topcategories_-1_64_10551
