Freewheelers volunteer Joanne Wingate has joined NG Road Racing and is launching her motorcycle racing career later this month on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at Pembrey. Joanne will be racing in the Streetstocks 700-1300cc and Newcomers classes, and must attend ten meetings at three different circuits, finishing in every race. If Joanne achieves this she will get her Clubman licence - the first step towards her ultimate aim of reaching the Isle of Man TT before she is sixty.

Joanne's bike is a Yamaha R1, fitted with Metzler Race Tec tyres and uprated suspension. Otherwise it is a standard production bike. The bike has Freewheelers' logo on the side and Joanne will be publicising our work at each race meeting she attends.

More photos of Joanne and her bike can be seen in the CVAM SmugMug galleries. You can also track her progress at CVAM's forum.
