BHR Test day Mallory

The Steelcraft Ducatis didn't make an appearance at the test day, Stu had tested there two weeks earlier and all went well until some over enthusiastic braking after a hail shower led to a close up tarmac inspection at around 85 mph. Andy, meanwhile hasn't got the 250 ready as he is concentrating his efforts on a 750 Kerby Kawasaki that we hope to take to Spain for an 6 hour endurance in Late April.

We were, however pleased to see a number of Ducati singles that seemed new to the BHR paddock.

I don't know if Staccato are still in business but we have one of their cams kicking around the workshop

A red one

And another red one

A very shiny red one

























                                                 
And a red one





















Another


      Another new addition to BHR this year is the BEARS class which may bring in a new batch of Italian classics, like this Pantah


Ok not a single, but not to be sniffed at
Whereas this is a single but not a Ducati and still not to be sniffed at
         The warm weather made for a good days testing at Mallory.

         BHR will be back on the 15th April for their opening meeting where Stu will contest the 250 specials and Ducati classes.
