What It Takes To Become World Champion Motorcycle Racing - The Case of Vasco van der Valk Posted: 27 Mar 2013 09:00 AM PDT You don't become world champion motorcycle racing, be it MotoGP, Superbike or any motorsport, by accident. You don't hope of on a race motorcycle at the "ripe" age of 18 and go and win races. There's virtually no sport that allows that.

The "inventor" rides a Honda CBR250R and needed space to place phone and GPS. You can place the proposed Rocket Rail on the bike's fork bolts. No modifications are required to your bike, just use the bolts that are there........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...
