Isle of Man TT - First Superbike Race

The 2008 Isle of Man TT saw a scorching first race as Australian Cameron Donald, on the Relentless by TAS Suzuki, stormed to his first ever TT win, taking victory in the Dainese Superbike TT. He was followed home by Relentless by TAS Suzuki teammate Bruce Anstey, a little over 10 seconds behind, and Suzuki-mounted Adrian Archibald in third. After an untidy start, Guy Martin led the field away on his Hydrex Bike animal Honda, followed by Manxman Conor Cummins and Padgett’s Honda rider John McGu… Continue

i dont no exactly because they dont give out that sort of data but looking at the motogp speeds its about 30kph and especaily the aprillias have alot more torque so they get up to the speed alot quicker. also the GP bikes have to factory ohlins suspension which helps alot and the stabiltiy of the apriliias around the corners is amazing they can turn better

thats my point of view anyway, i dont no for sure

Kinda, it is mostly putting out press releases, trying to organise media coverage through local tv and papers etc. Also I have been helping with some fund raising ideas and getting Nicole into Bike Shows to help raise her profile. All of which is really aimed at trying to get as much sponsorship as possible, hence we have also sent out a lot of profiles to big companies, unfortunately without a lot of luck so far!!!

If you are thinking about taking on such a role, think twice, it is hard work, with very little actual monetary payment, but just seeing Nicole enjoying her racing is payment thought!!!
