Default We won the BSB Championship!

This weekend I am pleased to say that KRP wrapped up the 125GP title with Daniel Copper winning the race. James Westmoreland (KRP) who had a very nasty crash in morning warm up came home second after making up some 4 secs and 5 places. We now head to Brands Hatch for the final round and are poised to take second spot int he Championship with James and also are head to head to win the ACU cup with Ant Rogers. As well as the above riding we will have Ben Tye and John Pearson putting down the spanners in the garage and gettign back out there. To complete the line up and irritate the competition further a six bike is being prepared for an up and coming yound lad to see if he can translate his pace in superteens into national level racing.



Pics to follow.

Of course he raced. They just swapped out riders before the race started. Can't tell the identity of a racer with a helmet on.

You should have let me know, it would have been free to get in and you'd have been able to wander around the garages and meet the riders.

Damn, that would of been sweet. Didnt mind paying was only like £24-25 if i remember right for a ticket, but being able to go through the garages would of been sweet. It was a great atmosphere, we took 2 grills and grilled and drank while one of the races was going on. It was a great time, hopefully I will get to do it again.

Hmmm, got pictures not great ones though. Will get better ones at the next round

The four main bikes, out the back of the garage there was a stock bike and two spare trick ones along with a whole bunch of spares.



New swingarms exclusive to us. We also have a new frame with some cool bits and pieces but havent run it yet.



The Championship winners bike. Similar in spec to the others but with a little bit more carbon bling and a few tweaks



Was nice to be in the garages for a change although not as much fun as the paddock.

Haha how many tries did it take you to get these pictures up?

How much do those things weigh?

Oh, and to those that don't know squat about the series (like me): http://www.britishsuperbike.com/

It is early, it took more than one

Minimum weight bike and rider is about 290lbs, the bikes themselves can go down to about 145lbs and can produce 'more than' 50HP. They stop and steer hard enough to fry your brain and a decent 250GP club bike woud struggle against one, let alone a lardy 600

On that link if you look at the support classes picture that's the team and also the bike I work with.

'Coops' outclaasing everyone last weekend on his way to the title.
