Win a MiniTwins bike, race entries & tyres for £20

Okay, so it's not a Ducati but...

Have you ever wanted to race but not been able to afford it? How about a full season of racing, including the bike, tyres and entries for just 20 quid.

Sounds to good to be true? It isn't and www.givemethekeys.com are giving away just that. More importantly any profits from the competition are going to support an up and coming young racer with a ride in the European SuperStock 600 series in 2006 plus a donation to www.adopt-a-racer.org.uk to help other racers during the year.

I would be very grateful if you could help raise awareness of the competition to enable us to send 19 year old Matt Bond to race in a support series to the European World SuperBike rounds next year.

Who are we helping?
------------------

In case you haven't heard of Matt Bond he won the MRO MiniTwins championship this year after finishing second in the Bemsee MiniTwins in 2004. In addition to 27 race wins and five lap records Matt was awarded the 'Torquemeter Trophy' for being one of the 'Top Solo Performers' in the MRO Championship 2005. Previous winners of the trophy include Mike Hailwood, John Surtees and Terry Rymer.

Matt may only have ridden an SV650 in the MiniTwins series but his lap record at Cadwell would have put him just outside the top twenty in the BSB SuperStock Cup race and in the top half of the R6 Cup the following weekend. He would even have qualified within the 'Qualification Maxima' for the BSB SuperSport 600 grid with just 72 hp!

How are we helping him?
-----------------------

This year www.givemethekeys.com supplied a pair of race prepared Suzuki SV650s to Matt. For 2006 the team will be buying a pair of new GSXR600K6 machines and ensuring they are prepared to the highest possible specification to take on the best young riders Europe has to offer.

www.givemethekeys.com will be organising a publicity campaign to make the most of Matt's appearance at the two UK World SuperBike rounds to gather support for the talented rider.

Is he any good?
---------------

To promote their involvement in the MiniTwins series the team lent a race prepared Cagiva Raptor 650 to Mike 'Spike' Edwards (ex-British 600 Champion) to contest a one off round of the MRO MiniTwins series at Silverstone earlier this year.

Mike convincingly won two races and was beaten by just 0.006 seconds in the third. Mike and the team weren't too disheartened as it was Matt Bond who beat him on the way to taking the lap record. Matt went on to win the next nine MRO races and also took the lap record at the next four circuits he visited.

What is the competition?
------------------------

To celebrate winning the championship www.givemethekeys.com has come up with a plan to give away the Cagiva Raptor 650 that Mike rode at Silverstone. Matt also had a one off ride on it at the last Bemsee round at Brands and finished second in the only race he entered with no time to practice or adjust the bike to his liking.

As well as the bike www.givemethekeys.com will also be giving away a set of spare wheels and discs, race entries for one of the MiniTwins series in 2006 and enough tyres for the season, well, 5 fronts and 10 rears, plus a pair of wets which should be enough for most riders. The bike is yours to keep ready for another season in 2007.

Don't want to race in the MiniTwins? Not a problem, sell the bike and use the entries and tyres for SuperSport 400 or SuperSport 600. It's all the same to us.

In addition www.givemethekeys.com will be supporting www.adopt-a-racer.org.uk with a donation of three thousand pounds to put towards their 2006 race fund which was set up to support other struggling racers take part in the sport.

There are just 1000 tickets for the competition priced at 20 pounds each. You can enter the competition as many times as you want to improve your chances of winning. See www.givemethekeys.com/minitwins to find out further information or to enter the competition.

Any profits from the competition will be put towards sending Matt Bond to race in the European SuperStock 600 series in 2006 which will be run at all the European rounds of the World SuperBike series and should provide a fitting environment for the talented youngster.
