News Briefs.

Newly married Darryl Atkins returns to these fair shores this weekend. Atkins has had a busy time since finishing 6th overall in the American Unlimited Supermoto national series. First off he got married in Hawai. Then he's had an operation on his leg to repair some old race injury and now he's come back home to show his new wife around NZ.

 

Performance factory's "Jimmy' has been flat out putting Supermotard wheels together for the upcoming battle of the streets series. Last year's champion Craig Flood has nearly got his bike together after a busy year running his New Plymouth Energy Honda buisness. The slide buster Briggs has an all new machine to take the challenge to Flood. Briggs has only had one outing on the machine but has been keeping himself sharp this past winter with regular Supermoto races in the Husaberg Supermoto Series.

Ben Townley, World MX2 champion (for those who have been living under a rock the last six months) is going to be handing out a few prizes at Wanganui on Boxing day. Townley is rumoured to be putting in a couple of laps on a Supermoto bike to greet the fans. Word is if he had not been carrying an injury he'd have been lining himself up for a crack on the legendary 'Cemetery' circuit.

 

Husaberg Supermoto promoter Nigel Bevin has not only got a 2 man 2 hour on in January but is also set to run a 3 round Supermoto National series. Bevin's series kicks off at the end of Feb (the week after the Paeroa street races) and promises over $7500 in prizes. Irishman Greg Kinsella is being bought over by VOR to ride at least a couple of rounds of the series.

VOR's Greg Kinsella set to ride in NZ in February.
