MICHELIN POWER DAYS RETURN FOR 2017

Following the success of Michelin track days with Terry Rymer Racing in 2016, the team are back and offering you the chance to ride 5 legendary UK circuits at an unbeatable price of just £49 when you purchase a set of Michelin Power Cup Evo, Michelin Power Slick Evo, Michelin Power Rain or the NEW Power RS in 2017 from participating dealers.

Riders are invited to attend a track day hosted by racing hero and twice World Endurance Champion, Terry Rymer. Special guests are also due to attend with the likes of Steve Parrish, Chris Walker and Gary Mason on track at last year’s events. The day will include 120 minutes of track time along with tyre technical workshops and track day tuition from Terry himself. Refreshments are included and riders will also take home a photo and limited edition t-shirt and mug.

Michelin Power Days 2017 will begin on 26th June heading back to the ever popular Brands Hatch GP circuit and on to the historic Cadwell Park on the 17th July followed by demanding Oulton Park on 26th July and back by popular demand Knockhill Circuit in Scotland on 18th August. New for this year, Michelin Power Days will also visit Bishopscourt Circuit in Northern Ireland on 22nd August.

Following the success of Michelin’s return to MotoGP, the French tyre-giant’s sports tyre expertise has been proven at the top level, resulting in the launch of the new Power RS hypersport tyre. Developed using the new ACT+ technology in casing design, coupled with new race bred compounds derived directly from Moto GP, this tyre optimises steering force and feedback. Whether on the road, or on the occasional track day, the Power RS is extremely agile, with exceptional directional stability and impeccable handling in cornering. In recent BMW Motorad tests, the Power RS set the benchmark against all its nearest rivals.

Places are subject to availability and are certain to sell out quickly. To find your nearest participating Michelin Power Days dealer and book your place visit www.powerdays.co.uk

Llangollen Motorcycle Festival 2017

Saturday, August 5^th & 6^th  at 

Royal International Pavilion, Llangollen, North Wales LL20 8SW

Conwy county councillor among team donating to remote ethnic schools

North Wales bikers help Vietnam’s poorest children

TEN organisers and supporters of the Llangollen Motorcycle Festival - www.llanBikeFest.co.uk - have just returned from a 1,000 mile trail bike tour of North Vietnam, where they helped some of the country’s poorest schools with donations of cash, footballs, pens, pencils and sweets. The boarding primary schools are in remote mountain areas, providing much-needed education for some of Vietnam’s 64 ethnic minorities.

Conwy County Councillor and LlanBikeFest exhibitor Andrew Wood (back row left), who owns Triumph and Ducati dealership Woods Motorcycles in Abergele, said: “Visiting the schools was one of the highlights of an amazing trip. Vietnam may be poor but the government is doing everything it can to bring education to everyone, with very limited resources. We were glad to do what we could to help.”

LlanBikeFest co-organiser John Hutchinson (front right) of Bodelwyddan added: “The kids and their teachers were brilliant and incredibly grateful for our support. We take so much for granted in the West, so it was quite moving to witness how delighted they were with our gifts and donations.”

The 10 strong team of friends, including seven from North Wales, two from England and a Canadian, spent two weeks riding mainly dirt roads in the Vietnamese mountains bordering China, crossing bamboo bridges and fording rivers along the way.

Now they are back preparing for the Llangollen Motorcycle Festival, which is at the town’s Pavilion on Saturday August 5^th and Sunday August 6^th. On-site attractions will include hundreds of bikes, displays, stunts, demonstrations, trade and club stands, plus beer, bands and evening entertainment in Llangollen Town. There will also be a charity raffle in aid of Wales Air Ambulance.
