NEWS: Buddy Holly's bike up for grabs

Buddy Holly's Ariel at auction



Fancy yourself on Buddy Holly's 1958 650 Ariel Cyclone British twin? That'll be the day! But it could be yours. To buy it, get yourself to the Guernsey's auction on Sunday 5 October at the Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

The sale is dedicated to that late Waylon Jennings (1937-2002) who was given the bike in 1979. Jennings was a member of Holly's backing group, The Crickets.

Guernsey's say the machine has done only 4000 miles and is in fine condition, though not run for 20 years.

No estimate is listed at this stage. We note that the seat and silencers have been changed since the home movie footage showing Holly with the bike in 1958.

Holly (1936-1959) bought the red and black Ariel new from Ray Miller's Motorcycles, Dallas, Texas. Only 200 were made. Auction details: 001 212 794 2280 www.guernseys.com

News: Lorenzo mobbed by fans at Rocket Centre

Jorge Lorenzo made a hugely successful exclusive guest appearance at the Rocket Centre in Blackburn, Lancashire, on Saturday afternoon, with thousands of fans turning out to meet and greet the two-time MotoGP World Champion.

Lorenzo: Huge turnout too see him in Lancashire

                                                      
Lorenzo's visit to the Rocket Centre, Lancashire’s largest motorcycle dealership, was part of Alpinestars’ ‘Race Experience’, which is designed to showcase the company’s cutting-edge race technology used in MotoGP and World Superbikes and provide fans with a rare opportunity to get close to their heroes. 

Arriving at 11:30am, Lorenzo took the time to meet and greet the many fans, signing posters and giving photo opportunities, as well as looking at the Alpinestars product displays in the store.

Jorge told the crowd that he was looking forward to next weekend’s MotoGP of San Marino in Misano, a track in which he has won every premier grand prix since 2011. “In racing you never know what is going to happen. In the last few races at Misano we have won, but we have to keep our feet on the ground, work hard all weekend, work hard on the bike and give it the maximum during the race!”

Big crowds to see Lorenzo at the Rocket Centre

 Owing to the large volume of signing requests, the Movistar Yamaha man delayed his departure in order not to disappoint the amassed fans. He eventually left the Rocket Centre at 1:35pm to take a flight to Jerez, from where he will head home to Spain to begin his preparations for San Marino on 12 to 14 September.

NEWS: Mallory Park competes for corporate entertainment

Mallory Park race circuit is promoting its facilities for corporate events.

Mallory Park- available for corporate events

The circuit has set aside five days in 2015 after the success of a pilot dealer driving event, held by a car manufacturer.

The legendary Leicestershire motor race circuit - acquired and re-launched by new owners - has trackside and hospitality suites and facilities for up to 200 people.

 New joint owner Eddie Roberts explained: "The circuit is short and easy to learn, and facilities are compact - meaning that, unlike some of the big Grand Prix circuits, the circuit is easier to 'own' on the day, rather than feeling you're rattling around something big and impersonal.

“We have conference facilities to cater for anything from an exclusive boardroom scenario in the race control building through to theatre-style for up to 200, or 110 for a sit-down lunch or dinner in the Hailwood Suite. Parking, of course, is not an issue, and we have preferential price arrangements with local hotels."
