BEARS Sound of Thunder


If you wanna take part in BEARS racing, get into your approved racing gear:- leathers, boots, leather motorcycle gloves, back protector and helmet. If you feel that you’re a confident road rider, then you can take the step up to competitive racing.

BEARS have an objective to introduce more riders to the sport.

Pull on your motorcycle gloves because the earth stopped shakin’ enough for the “Sound of Thunder” to get under way at Ruapuna last Sunday for the first time in two years. Motorcycles of British, European or American design were there in force but I was amazed at the large number of Nortons.  




My favorite was the Best of British class, open to any motorcycle manufactured in Britain.

The Bob Nesbitt prepared 850 Commando ridden by Mike King shook the ground when started up! So it should runnin’ on alcohol!




The feature of that race was another from the Nesbitt stable – No 515, the 675 Triumph ridden by Jamie Galway. The kid led from start to finish in the first race with a solid lead of nearly a full straight at the flag. That kid can ride!
