Big show for the Carole Nash Motorcycle Live 2010
The recently announced Carole Nash Motorcycle Live event has clearly captured the imagination of the world's biggest and best motorcycle manufacturers with the organisers announcing today that a record number of brands will be exhibiting this year. No fewer than 30 manufacturers have now confirmed to attend the all-new event running from 27th November to 5th December at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre. The event will see participation from all major motorcycle brands, including iconic British firms Norton and Triumph.BikeFEST Event Video
BikeFEST, a specialist biker event organised by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Herts and Essex Air Ambulance proved to be a great success for the second year running. A new video has been launched following the event, featuring special guest; Isle of Man TT (Time Trial) Racer and all-round biking legend, Guy Martin. In the video he talks about his recent experience of crashing at 160 miles an hour during a race and explains why he believes he survived, giving safety advice to other bikers.HEL - The fastest brake lines in the world
HEL Performance braided brake lines helped Bruce Anstey make the fastest ever road racing lap at the 2010 Ulster GP. The Relentless Suzuki rider piloted his GSX-R1000 to an average speed of 133.977mph around the 7.4 mile Dundrod circuit in Northern Ireland. The New Zealand rider clocked the outright fastest lap in the second Superbike race on his way to victory on August 14 in County Antrim.GSX1250FA tops UK Sales Chart
Suzuki's GSX1250FA has certainly hit the spot as far as UK riders are concerned, becoming the best selling sports tourer in July this year*. Launched to UK press in Spain at the end of March, the GSX1250FA achieved instant praise thanks to its combination of unbeatable value and mile-munching attributes, quickly going on to shame more expensive rivals in group tests too. With its torquey 1255cc engine offering a great spread of power that's perfect for touring, with a planted and confidence inspiring chassis, the GSX1250FA provides continent-crossing ability without the gimmicks.
R&G Racing has added to its already diverse product offering for the Yamaha Fazer8 and FZ8 with a separate Hugger and Chain Guard. The new products demonstrate R&G’s continued expansion in offering complete protection for a bike – not just from crash damage. The Hugger, new from R&G in 2010, is 30% longer than the factory-fitted item and bolts directly in its place; the longer reach following the contour of the tyre closer to protect a greater area of the underside of the machine.
New silencer with elite performance and looks at a price for all riders Pipe Werx, the British performance exhaust company, has introduced a new race motorcycle silencer to its range – GP3. Starting at just £140, the race-only application features a compact design to allow the maximum flow of exhaust gasses for engine performance gains without emitting horrendous decibel levels from its three-inch laser cut spout. The lightweight MotoGP-style can comes standard at a 300mm length but can be built to the specific dimensions wanted by the customer, going as short as a howling 200mm.
Following five years of research and development, Draggin's C-Evo jeans - the first in the world to receive full CE approval - are now available to UK riders. Independently tested and approved by SATRA (UK) to EN 13595-1, the standard that applies to leather and textile motorcycle suits jackets and trousers, the C-Evo jeans had to survive testing for abrasion resistance, seam burst strength, cut resistance and impact protection.
New from WEISE® for 2010, the Maverick jacket is available not only in black, red and blue colour options but also an eye-catching orange version. Cool citrus colour schemes feature on machines in the Kawasaki, Harley-Davidson and KTM ranges and there is growing demand for brighter colours of bike clothing from owners of plain-coloured motorcycles, too.
