I am also delighted to be given yet another fantastic opportunity by Team Hotties, Road Lee Racing, and A&B Installations in the shape of a new ZX6R Kawasaki which has been prepared by MSS Kawasaki.
A lot of people have put their money into this new bike and I am extremely grateful to each and every one, whom without, it just would not happen.”
Added exciting news for Adam, is that he has a full stable of machinery, sorted for his 2017 roads campaign, he stated:
“I am also delighted to be fully sorted for the 2017 season. Not to many can say they are sorted for next year and to be able to say that is a really good feeling.
I will have the Rod Lee/A&B Installations 600 Kawasaki Supersport, the Palmer ER6 Kawasaki Twin, and the Roy and Mark Hanna 125 Honda for next year so yes, I’m really chuffed.
The Gold Cup is very exciting for me and I can’t thank Peter Hillaby and the Auto66 Club enough for the Invitation”
