Supermotard Racing

[Danie]

Just a few pics to show that motorcycle racing - in this case supermotard racing, is alive and well locally.

I took a few pics of a race whick took place in the streets of Pinetown - about 15 km from Durban, during the past weekend.........

Now that's some more racing I'd like to see!  Looks like a fun time!

Was this a race that had racers from all over the world, or more of a local/club race ?

Reminds me of the old fashioned "superbike" races from the 70s - 80s - my favorite kind of racing, I think like the Isle of Mann

This was a National supermoto event, and around 150 riders from our country took part in this penultimate round of the season.

Earlier this year a similar race took place on the same "circuit", and the event is becoming very popular locally - it delivers excellent racing and exitement.

Back when KTMs were ruling my days, there was a semi-motard race at the long gone Green Valley Raceway... sorta road race sorta cross country. Big fun until the end of the hi-speed pavement straightaway where I got together with another scooter and broke some bones in my left hand. Got pics somewhere...

These days, I ride a whole lot slower.   Monte
