Some pics of Paul's "custom" fuel tank after race one!

10 out of 10 for effort Paul, got punted off the track on the 1st lap, bounced down the tarmac and his bike ran over.

But, with a few cable ties, new race fairing (made from duck tape, of course) and enough confidence in the rule book to get his damaged bike through scrutineering, he was out for the second race!

now thats club racing spirit at its best!

It wasn't easy managing to do all that but keep the MotoRapido logo intact!

Prospective sponsors take note ;)

Thanks for keeping the logo in one piece,
