The Highway Performance Bikes Off Road team will this weekend take part in
the Titan Enduro which is the 3rd and 4th rounds of this year’s Australian Off Road Championship (AORC). The team is prepared to continue it’s pursuit of the podium in the enduro format for this event.
The team made a strong impression at the opening rounds held at Port Macquarie in testing conditions with both David Hogan #517 and Jennifer Blackwood #771 pushing their KTM machines to the limit.
David Hogan
David Hogan # 517 led much of the opening cross country before the mud got the better of him causing a crash. “I really felt like I had that race, I was riding the mud really well and had a nice lead on the field, but one little mistake wiped me out, but I have worked hard since then to hopefully be able to put myself in that position again” said David.
Jennifer Blackwood
Jennifer Blackwood #771 was pushing hard in the sprint formats at Port Macquarie. “I felt comfortable on the Sunday in the sprint format and I was really trying to overtake as many of the girl’s as I could with the very short sprint laps” said Jennifer.
This weekends round is one of the few Enduro format events on the calendar for the AORC. They take a lot of effort to set up and run and the Team appreciated all the work that has gone into this event and maintaining the AORC in 2010.
The Highway Performance Bikes Off Road team is hoping for a fan’s of the series to make the trip into the forest to catch the action and check out both the team’s riders in there very bright ringmaster images designed team kits.
