New training tool, partnerships, and support for '16!

Rich has quickly learned that there is no actual "off-season" of racing, there's only "season in which you don't race".  He's been continuing to work on his fitness despite the delicious holiday treats that abound, and on the mechanical side as well.

​The GrrR6 has been stripped bare for maintenance.  The Penske / Ohlins suspension is in th capable hands of Mike Failace of Metric Devil Moto getting refresh and setup for this coming year, and as you can see in the photo (right), the engine is out, headed to Maher Motorsports for a build!

What's not visible is what most people instantly recognize - the tiger bodywork.  That's big news for us as well.  We are teaming up with DC Paintworx and DrippinWet for paint & graphics this year!  Not to worry though, as long as Nicole is still the primary sponsor, the GrrR6 will remain "the tiger bike"!
Also new & exciting is a new training tool in the stable.  Rich had always been told that dirt bikes are excellent training tools, and this was only reinforced by taking Aaron Stevenson's excellent Cornerspin school, aptly subtitled "Roadracing in the dirt".  We recently found a well-maintained KTM (because orange!) 200 XC-W at a good price, and Rich brought it home recently.​

(Right, a matching MX stand from our friends at PitPosse supporting the KTM for maintenance and storage.  It's lightweight (look at the speed holes!) and strong!)

To round out the news, we're proud to announce that Leatt has joined on as a sponsor!  Rich will be using a full compliment of their protective gear, including a neck brace, torso guard, elbow & knee guards, and more!  To compliment the Leatt off-road gear, a Scorpion VX-R70 helmet was a natural choice!  Rich is really looking forward to using the bike to further enhance his skills & "stay loose" on the race bike!
2016 is going to be awesome - GET IT!!!!
