Richard Leong Racing Teams Up With Pirelli To Contest The Nationals!

[sugilite]

It is my absolute pleasure to announce that Team Richard Leong Racing have signed a deal to be supplied with Pirelli racing slicks.
We will be contesting all 5 rounds of the 2007 New Zealand Production Superbike championship starting this coming January at Teratonga race Track, Invercargill.

As just about any superbike team will tell you, tyres is one of the hardest components to get sorted.
Both Richard and I are delighted to have secured a deal to run Pirellis.
Privateer Russel Holland proved they can win races at the highest level in Australia, and indeed team Honda Australia have themselves signed up to use Pirelli next year along with other large Australian teams.

We are still working on sponsorship deals with other suppliers of racing consumables and will make further announcements in this thread as news comes to hand.

So it will be good bye to the bikes instability issues with the current tyres we have and hello competitive race rubber!

Here is a few pics (thanks Felix) of the bike as it stands now. We just fitted the Akrapovic full race exhaust system to the bike two weeks ago :yes:

[The_Dover]

Hey peanut, you forgot to mentioned the duct taped on knee sliders!!

Good to see you again on the loop sugi. Ok, good to see you at the stops on the loop.

[dickytoo]

awesum stuff Ant & Richard ( does this mean your off the bread & water diet Richard ??)



I wish!

Anthony wasn't very clear about the deal. It is a bloody good deal for the tyres which we appreciate very much but someone (me) still has to pay for them.

Anthony (I'd be happy with 1 set of tyres for the whole nationals, as long as i get a bike) is now becoming the epitome of the spoiled factory rider:laugh: :bleh: :D . He now needs 1 set of tyres for qualifying, 1 set of tyres per race and 1 set just to get out of bed!

[sugilite]

I've had 3 serious goes at the nats before and 2 aborts...


you're kidding --suggies been arouns since dougal was out on a gixxer 1100 in senior proddy back in the early ninetys --Um I have this funny feeling it might even go back furthur

Next you will be telling everyone I was racing before the magic round about was created!


Well you'll have no excuses for not doing so here then!
And for Christs sake man....fit a dark visor so we don't have to see the stress in your face.


To old, to blind!

Erm, not even the big teams get their tyres given to them. NZ is just to small for tyre suppliers to make that kind of commitment and get a good return on their investment.

unfortunately my fund raising drive at the sydney docks failed to get any substantial returns. who would have thunk that the aussie sailors would have been that fussy!

my fall back plan of starting a house of ill repute has foundered because the aussies have cleaned up all the crooked cops and i can't seem to get a license the proper way. the fact that i insisted on testing all the products (only because i care about the punters) have also stunted my recruitment drive.

so, the short of it all is, you have nobble anthony somehow and it could be the start of a racing partnership!

[dickytoo]

Hey, thats not fair! Your early morning wake up calls would get anyone out of bed!!!:shit:


i think it would be prudent to mention that we were not sharing a bed, indeed, most times we weren't even in the same room!

We have a good partnership going but not that good!:sick: :eek:

send me pictures!

the truth is, i'm not really that fussy!

let me check the fine print on anthony's contract. i don't think there is an "out" clause so we have have to bump him off. i'm all in favour of slow and painful, what do you think?

erm, yes good point I should clarify that, Richards early morning wake up calls have an aural nature to them and make Rotoruas mud pools smell like fresh mountain air in comparrison!

that was after a sustained diet of sweet corn toasted sandwiches on a dodgy sandwich maker. your culinary skills were notable for the lack of hygiene and the wonderful abstract notion called taste!
