Next season

For 2009 the CB500 cup is no more and has been replaced by the new Thundersport500. The class had seen little effort put in to promoting it over the last few years and the riders thought it was time for a change and to give the series a new lease of life. With a vote on the forum returning a 100% majority in favour of racing with the exciting new ThundersportGB series. Their willingness to welcome us to there very professional outfit and the passion they clearly have for motorcycle racing and giving the riders and spectators exactly what they want meant it was a very simple decision.

The class has now been expanded to Include the Suzuki GS500 and Kawasaki ER500, both 500cc parallel twin four strokes, similar to the CB500. The series will also be Televised on Motors TV, with a two hour programe showing all race highlights, with podium presentations and interviews with riders shown a week or two after each round then repeated several times throughout the week.

New bike

last years No.1 bike, which was badly damaged in the Anglesey crash, after further inspection has been scrapped and I have purchased another CB500 to replace it. The bike requires a lot of work to get it up to race spec which should keep me busy over the winter months. The No.2 bike which I used for the remainder of the season was also damaged in the Donnington crash and will also need rebuilding for next year. They will both be coming back with a completely new colour scheme which I hope to have a few pictures of as soon as one of the bikes nears completion. In the mean time I'm working hard to try and obtain some sponsorship for next year as a full 16 round championship will be very expensive in terms of entry fee's but I'm hoping the TV exposure will encourage sponsors to invest in the team.
