Do we have any super bike racing fans on the TFF? I have watched the odd race or two on the TV and would one day love to go and watch a live race as it does look very exciting.
In Bridgwater there is a very large motorbike company called Riders and I have a call I do that is right behind their main showroom. Every now and then when I call on my customer, the Riders racing team are getting ready to attend some meeting somewhere and I have to say it looks so very professional and must cost an absolute fortune to run.
I would expect it’s all very heavily subsidised by so many sponsors as they have a main truck that takes all the bikes and tools and another one nearly the same size that is used to house all the riders and crew etc.
The guys all looked far to busy and so I did not go over and talk to them, but did ask someone I know in Bridgwater who said the team never won anything and maybe were not that successful.. I believe they have at least two riders and their numbers are no 40 and no 6, if anyone does follow this sport, would love to hear your views on these two riders.
I would imagine there must be some meeting over the weekend somewhere, anyone know where?
The small bike that can be seen in one picture I'm told is used by the crew to get around the pits etc.
