Shercos open day was about bikes, testing and having fun
THERE was huge turnout and smiles aplenty - despite the weather - for the much anticipated Sherco Open Day at Westwood with all models of trials and enduro bikes were on test.
All the MRS team trials and enduro riders were there, including multi World Ladies Extreme and Trials Champion Emma Bristow.
On the enduro front Jack Rowland and Mark Roberts were giving demos all day with the top expert and clubman riders.
On the trials front there was a big welcome back to Darren Brice, who won the Experts last time he rode for MRS Sherco.
Dealers in attendance were AG Bikes from Richmond, Road and Trials from Barnsley, John Lee from Northants, SPJ Autos from Surrey, Active Bikesport from Radstock, Gary Jenkins from Newtown, Trials UK from Leeds, Matt Pope from Norfolk, Cloburn from Helmsley, St. Blazey from Cornwall, Inch Perfect from Clitheroe as well as the full range of bikes on test with MRS.
So there was no shortage of bikes or dealers to speak to on the day covering virtually the whole country.
After a whole day for the dealers speaking with customers and all the team riders giving a demonstration it was time for MRS to repay all of them for their hard work this year by going back to the Holiday Inn Rotherham North where everyone was fed and watered, the top enduro table won the quiz.
Malcolm introduced all the riders and Rhoda gave out the Willing Dalling trophy for Top Sherco Dealer for 2015 which was a very close run affair this year. There were a lot more dealers selling bikes this year but at the end it was a very close contest with RCM MotorCycles winning the trophy but Active Bikesport and AG Bikes very close behind.
After the formalities were over it was into the bar where the night finished in its normal frenzy of action with Chas Lee, once again, holding up the family tradition by downing the most drinks. If there was a trophy for this Chas would win hands down.
All in all an excellent day and it only remains for MRS to say a very big thank you to motorcycle enthusiast Tim Reynolds who very kindly allowed the use of his land for the day, Sally and
John Hayden from Putoline who have sponsored the team this year and enjoyed all the entertainment on offer; also to Michelin who once again have supported MRS throughout the year. Without these companies it just wouldn't be possible to run the teams.
All models of trials bikes can now be ordered from your local dealer from 125 through to 250 and 300. MRS have all the range of enduro bikes available from the 250 2T and 300 2T to the 250 4T, 300 4T and 450 4T all in the race specification.
