We also have a new bike for 2010 which has been given to us to ride, details of which are to follow. The TT is going to be hard work if we are to impress, but Carl is an awesome driver, i have no doubts with the right efforts before we go, we can achieve a top ten finish.

Dave and Dave have put a lot of thought into the bike, little bits and bobs all over it to help improve strength and handling and some trick, neat, new ideas. The NRP exhaust is well finished has a beautiful note and fits like a glove. I'm looking forward to getting on it and winding back that throttle. "
