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.

Santa 'Sleighs' Silkolene

We have just had the good news that Fuchs Silkolene are going to be supporting us with their products for the third year running. They will be in charge of keeping our moving parts oiled and our dirty parts clean. We would like to give a massive thanks to all the guys at Fuchs Silkolene, their support is greatly appreciated. Check out what they have to offer at their website on http://www.silkolene.com/. During the season our newsletters are also featured on their website.

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
