Superbikes, Grabbed Some Super Attention

The push to promote the Long Ride continued on the weekend with a ride down to Phillip Island for the opening round of the World Superbike Championship.

As with any bike event at Phillip Island the place with packed with bikes and even more spectators so it was a great place to show of the ride logo and the logos of the companies that have already come on board.  In fact quite a few people commented on it.


Ok, so some things grabbed the attention
more than the Long Ride.

Wandering the motorcycle expo was great, a brilliant place to network the Long Ride.  It was even a great chance to talk a few punters into purchasing some great gear from Ugly Fish, no doubt the best sunnies on the market.

Regardless of the stinking hot weather the racing was great.  After former MotoGP racer Carlos Checa put his Ducati on pole, race one went to Sylvain Guintoli riding an Aprilia, after Marco Milanrdi took Checa out.  Never the less it was a cracker of a race.

Race two went to Guintoli's teammate, Eugene Laverty, after a great battle with his teammate.

The ride home was just as great with literally hundreds of bikes lining the road and again a great way to get the supporters of the Long Ride noticed.
