Pedstop Race Team Test Day at Mallory Park

With only a matter of days to go before the first round of the 2011 BSSO series, the Pedstop Race Team headed out to Mallory Park yesterday for some last minute testing. Everything went smoothly for Josh but Sam had an off, the scoot suffered some cosmetic damage and Sam got a few cuts and bruises, luckily nothing serious.

Join us at Round 1 on Easter Monday 25 April at Mallory Park for the first round of the season. For more info visit the official Mallory Park website: www.mallorypark.co.uk

New care and cleaning products from MOTUL

Summer's approaching and we’ve got some great new products from MOTUL in stock to make sure you guys are prepared.

The main product that we think is a necessity is MOTUL's Visor Clean. Supplied in a generous 250ml bottle it dissolves dirt and splattered bugs from your visor without damaging or causing streaks to the visor. Product code: AD/102992



Chain lube is always an important care product to own, however as the weather gets warmer all the wear from the winter will really show in your chain as the links dry out. MOTUL have supplied us with 'Off Road' and 'Road' chain lubes, it’s not hard to guess which one's for what is it?!

MOTUL Off Road chain lube is specifically designed for off-road bikes and mopeds as it repels dirt, sand and mud. It also penetrates deep into the links and is fluorescent yellow in colour for easy application. Product code: AD/102982

The Road version is, as you will have already guessed, for road going motorcycles and mopeds. It’s suitable for all chain types and is designed to avoid fling at very high speeds. It’s fully waterproof and contains a solvent which penetrates old residue. Product code: AD/102981


Both of the above chain lube products are supplied in a 400ml can which is plenty to last you for a good three months or more.

Weekender Competition

With everyone giving things away we thought we might as well contribute and make a Weekender Competition worth entering. The prizes are BIG so this will take some effort…

All you need to do is find the image shown above on our website. Post a comment on our Facebook page saying you’ve found it BUT DON’T POST A LINK TO IT! The competition will end after we’ve received 100 “I’ve found it” comments. A name will then be picked at random and we’ll contact that person. If you’re the chosen one you’ll need to give us the product code from our website which shows the above image and if it’s right you’re a WINNER. If you answer incorrectly we’ll pick another name at random. To keep things simple you can enter only once. Why not get your friends to help out or join our Facebook group? We'll be running regular competitions during the week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and on weekends. The more people taking part the crazier the prizes will get!

Good luck!

Italkit Price Squeeze

Great news ladies and gents, we’ve squeezed Italkit prices on all of the most popular products we stock.

Don’t think that this is because we have stock to clear as you would be wrong. It simply allows you to get a taste of the good stuff at a reduced price, rather than compromising on something that will never be like for like.

Here’s a quick reminder about the product: Italkit cylinder kits are made at the Gilardoni factory in Italy and the quality of finish is the finest we’ve seen on any of our cylinder kit ranges. Great power gains can be seen matched with the very best reliability partly due to the high-end carbide plating and the use of Vertex pistons.

We stock Italkit cylinder kits for the majority of 50cc scooters like the Gilera Runner, Piaggio NRG, Piaggio Zip, Yamaha Aerox, MBK Nitro, Italjet Dragster, Aprilia SR 50 R, Suzuki Katana along with many geared mopeds such as the Derbi Senda, Derbi GPR, Aprilia RS 50 etc.

Take a look at our full Italkit product range here.

Introducing Pedstop Race Team member: Joe Ravenscroft

STOP PRESS: Joe Ravenscroft joins the Adrenalin Pedstop Race Team.

Last year Joe really impressed us with his racing skills out on the track so we're delighted that he now joins the Adrenalin Pedstop Race Team in 2011. Joe's fellow team members include BSSO champion Josh Brown who you should all know by now and Pedstop's very own Sam Schofield. Sam admits to being a complete novice, but with balls of steel and an aggressive riding style it'll be interesting to see how he gets on during the coming season.

On 10 March Joe headed out to sunny Spain for a week of practice at the Finestrat circuit in Benidorm. Here's his account of how it went:

"The week got off to a good start with temperatures of 20 degrees plus. The first session got underway (the first time I’d ridden anything in six months). I went out testing a jack up kit and to cut a long story short I didn’t really get on with it due to it changing the geometry of the bike too much not to my liking. With that session out of the way I took off the jack up kit and re-fuelled. By the end of the first day we (me and my Dad) had solved a few minor problems. Day two came with an unpleasant downpour that lasted for hours. Unfortunately I had to stand out at the sideline and help to marshall, I couldn't race because the wheels for my wet tyres were being powder coated back in the UK. But with many tea and coffee breaks dinner time (siesta) came around fast, this gave chance for the clouds to break and for the sun to break through and dry up the track. After lunch we returned to a lovely 22 degrees and a dry track. With the big change in weather conditions it was time to get out the Adrenalin Pedstop Zip SP for the first time that day. The last three days was basically the same lovely weather and a superb track to top it all off! A good week was had by all with good riding all throughout the week and with the hotel being all inclusive there was plenty of food and beer! I hope I can persuade the rest of the Pedstop crew to come with us and have a mega week’s testing in Spain next time!" - Joe Ravenscroft

The sun was shining in Spain and so were Joe's riding skills, sit back and watch the onboard footage:



We wish Joe and his fellow team members the best of luck for the coming season. As usual we'll keep you all posted with their progress throughout the course of the year.
