NEWS ITEM;   MULTIMODAL 2010 !

Thanks to all of you who visited our exhibition stand at Multimodal 2010.

It was great to meet up with old friends and make many new ones!  

And....congratulations to the many brave individuals who had their caricatures drawn by 'Chris'. You have a great memento (hopefully) to keep and were all great sports to be 'cartooned' as you were.

Talking of sports  the Apex team motor racing bike we proudly sponsor took pride of place on the stand and attracted much interest.  For those who asked about the race details the Apex racing team is competing in its second year of racing competing in the Hottrax Motorsport,  3 hour endurance race series with a Le Mans style start. 2 bikes and 2 riders. There are seven rounds of weekend racing at some of the best circuits in the country.
