SHERCO WEEKEND EXTRAVAGANZA 5th & 6th October www.mrsltd.co.uk   Sherco Importers, Malcolm Rathmell Sport, are delighted to announce their very popular Sherco Weekend Extravaganza which will take place this year on Saturday, 5th and Sunday, 6th October. The venue will be just outside Pateley Bridge and details of this will be given very shortly. The Extravaganza Weekend will take a different format from normal this year with the introduction of the full range of Sherco Enduro bikes. With ten different models expected from Sherco for 2014 and the long, anticipated arrival of the 2T range, there will certainly be a lot of interest, judging from the enquiries MRS are receiving on a daily basis.   On the trials front all 2014 models will be available for testing including the 80, 125, 250, 290 and 305 model range. As normal there will be plenty of bikes available to test with MRS and the top Sherco dealers.   The venue lends itself perfectly for both disciplines and for all Enduro fans there will be a RideOffRoadUK Championship event at the venue on Sunday, 6th October. For anyone wishing to ride please contact the RideOffRoadUK Team on 07576 095137 or by viewing their website at http://www.rideoffroaduk.co.uk. The ROR team do cater for all classes from novice right through to the expert class. For the trials fraternity the Ripon club are running a West Yorkshire Group Trial on the Sunday and you can enter this event by downloading the regulations from the Ripon & DMC website. There will be a £4 charge for club membership but they are very happy to welcome any riders who would like to compete.   Both the MRS Trials and Enduro teams will be giving demos through the day and all the top trials and enduro dealers will be there with a full range of bikes to test. Anyone wishing to test a bike can contact their favoured dealer on the MRS website at http://www.mrsltd.co.uk to arrange a time on the day. After testing of the bikes the dealers, riders and sponsors will be invited to the normal Sherco Weekend venue at Harefield Hall, Pateley Bridge where there will be a buffet and presentation of riders, sponsors and dealers. Drinks and food will be available from the hotel during the evening so anyone can come along and enjoy the party.   If past years are anything to go by the event should, once again, be a great success and MRS look forward to welcoming everyone along on the day. More details will follow shortly with venue details and any updates which will be added to the event.                               – MRS         – Gaerne    or  – Airoh Follow us on Twitter  Gaerne    Or  Airoh        Carly Rathmell Freelance Sports PR www.carlyrathmell.com

Save Gas, and Have Fun Doing It, on a Honda Scooter

Courttesy of Honda Powersports

Honda’s new Forza is more than just fun—it’s super practical too. You get plenty of storage—enough to fit two full-faced helmets, optional C-ABS for safety, and a 279cc engine that makes it highway legal and offers plenty of power for two-up riding locally or long distance. The Forza also gets 68 miles per gallon*. On a Forza you can do it all–and have fun doing it!   LET’S TAKE A LOOK

The PCX150 is loaded with features that put it at the top of its class: two-up seating, 25 liters of underseat storage, sleek bodywork, and a reliable Honda engine. But best of all, the PCX150 has an estimated fuel economy of over 100 miles per gallon*, and with today’s gas prices, that’s a feature everyone can appreciate.   SHOW ME MORE

Feeling that pain at the pump every time you fill up? Maybe it’s time to switch to a fuel-efficient Honda Scooter. Think about how far you could go on these 100+ MPG scooters:

Metropolitan 117 MPG*		PCX150 102 MPG*	Ruckus 114 MPG*

Hodaka Club 2013 Raffle now open for DIRT SQUIRT

Courtesy of Hodaka Club

		BUY ONLINEOnly $5.00 each You do not need to be present to win! The bike is a freshly renovated and updated example of a 1976 Hodaka Dirt Squirt. Nate Ewer located a really promising Squirt on the Vancouver, BC Craigslist. The bike was very complete, but in need of resurrection. The seller, Terry Hartree, had owned the Squirt from new, and agreed to a great price, so the Club could acquire it.  The bike was super-original, and we even received the original owner’s manual and illustrated parts list!   The bike has been cleaned up,       inspected thoroughly, the forks were rebuilt and any needed “service” items like cables, points and rubber parts replaced.   Hodaka Dave Rozier has dismantled, inspected and rebuilt the motor  Ben Schenk has had the tank, rear fender and air cleaner top repainted with new decals added. Gregg Floren has again refurbished the wheels & hubs. Wheel and brake assemblies were redone with new bearings, brake shoes, and spokes; hubs were “steel ball burnished” and new knobby tires, IRC – front and Kings – rear, were installed. Nate Ewer, Project Coordinator, has handled chassis and overall refurbishment, working under the guidance of Hodaka Great, Harry Taylor, in “Harry’s Shed” (as it was named by VMX Editor Ken Smith).   The bike is being completed as an off-road, trail bike, as Hodaka meant it to be. It will not be a full-on restoration,     but will be a good looking rider, restored to mostly original form, that anyone would be proud of. It should be a very cool scooter!             ADDITIONAL RAFFLE ITEMS!   This year, more than one ticket purchaser will win at the raffle. Second prize is a PVL Electronic Ignition kit, retailing for over $400  Plus more items or services, donated by our sponsors –keep posted.    Tickets are only $5.00 and can be purchased at Hodaka Days or on line at www.strictlyhodaka.com  You do not need to be present to win.
