The truth is really the support only extends to time off for the rider, and the use of promotional material... and p[aint for the bikes. The fact that some of the promotion material is stuck to the side of a van helps

Neil has also made use of some of the best tooling in the country too... So it all helps....

Strike Masters are long gone... so no more trading in those puppies..
Heck, they went when I was a lad..

Whatever they had under that extra hump on those skyhawks went into Neils bike....You can tell uncle Mossy.

Ummm... Yeah, that is it... High tech electronic stuff.. that ended up in the nose in the later years...

Actually NO. The less Av stuff on the bike the better.. it only fails randomly and gives you a day of heart ache... eh Dan.

The real secret is Neil is there to ride.
He has a crew (of one) looking after the bike when it returns to the hanger.
He can be the Maintenance Flight Commander, but doesn't have the worry of the nuts and bolts etc.
Seems to work really well....

Well done Neil - last time an F3 zxr went fast round the long track was Nathan Spargo - so going quicker than him is pretty impressive!
Keep it up.

Ummm there will be none of that either... The bike is approaching Critical Mass

Next thing is Neil has to hit the pavement in the evenings... Watch out Bulls!
