Adrenalin-Moto sponsored rider Richard Harrison suffered serious injuries in an accident during the first round of the British Superstock Championship at Brands Hatch. Richards Kawasaki ZX10R was clipped by another machine in final qualifying on Sunday 29 March, and in the ensuing accident Richard suffered a broken pelvis and internal injuries. He was taken to Maidstone hospital by air ambulance, where he spent Sunday and Monday night on a ventilator. Thankfully his condition improved enough for him to be moved closer to home to St James Hospital in Leeds later in the week. Latest news on Richard as of the 5th May is that he is now up and about on crutches and making a good speedy recovery. He is hoping to be home again very soon but still hasn't made any decisions regarding his racing future. On the Buell front we will be heavily involved in supporting Free Spirits with their radical new Buell race bike in the Italian Supertwins championship, as well as Claudio Campi with his XB9 in the Italian Naked Bike series. In the USA we have just agreed to sponsor New Yorker Bill Armstrong (race-pilot) on his Buell XB9R. Bill will be racing in the Loudon Road Racing Series as well as taking in selected FUSA/CCS meetings at VIR and Summit Point. We look forward to working with Bill and wish him every success. You can find out more about Bill and follow his progress on his web site at http://buzzin6.tripod.com/ 2005 Schedule April 23-24 NHIS RAIN May 14-15 NHIS June 11-12 NHIS June 18-19 NHIS FUSA July 23-24 NHIS Aug 6-7 NHIS Aug 20-21 NHIS Sept 3-4 NHIS Oct 1-2 NHIS In the UK we are continuing to support Jonathan Harrison in his racing career. Jonathan will be campaigning an SV650 in the MRO Minitwins series. Jonathan has had a hard time adapting to the new bike and has had to do his testing at the meetings, which isn't the perfect start to the season. He has achieved a couple of mid-field placings so far and is confident of improvements to come at the next round at Silverstone.
