Welcome to the latest instalment from Westcott Central for April.

Yamaha - we test new range at Rockingham
Yamaha have some great bikes and the 16 of them are available on what they call the "ZERO WORSHIP" 0% finance campaign. This offer has been extended until May 4th and I am assured that that is the final end date. The bikes available include the stunning 2008 R6 and R1 as well as more sensible bikes like the torque laden XJR1300 as well as perennial best sellers like the FZ6 S2 naked or faired.
The Yamaha XJR1300 - available on 0% finance
The parameters with the Yamaha deal are a minimum deposit of £199 and a maximum period of 30 months. On the R1 and R6 OYB have extended that period out to 36 months therefore reducing the monthly outlay.
Talking of Yamaha a few of us had the opportunity in the past few days to attend a 2008 model evaluation day at Rockingham. We got to ride several models on the road as well as several on the track with the guidance of the California Superbike school. Well what a fun day we had.
The factory managed to get 4 of the all new YZFR-125 to the event on German plates. Well all of you youngsters out there are in for a treat. It is a real sharp looking bike very similar to the Aprilia RS125. It is powered by a 4 stroke motor as opposed to the zinging 2 stroke in the Aprilia. Even with my lardy butt on it I saw 124kmh on the clock which equates to about 77 MPH in imperial speak. At only £2999 otr and due in the shop in late May now is the time to pester the bank of Mum and Dad. The 4 colours are great but I liked the yellow black combo the best.
Also at the event we had the chance to ride on the track a new 2008 R1 and R6. Both bikes are stunning but this year's new R6 is brilliant and easy to see why it is such a top selling machine. Having ridden every model of R6 since they were launched in 1999 this is without doubt the best yet. The improvements to the motor, midrange and suspension are all noticeable. I was really enjoying myself, maybe a bit to much, when at the end of my session I lost the front and the bike slid gracefully up a slip road at about 90 mph. Very embarrassing. I would like to say that I was trying to emulate Colin Edwards recent nearly crash at Jerez but failed miserably.
Ride safe
However if any of you out there would like evidence that the clothing we sell works then please feel free to discuss with me. I dinged my lid a bit but am here the day after the incident totally injury free. Top kit may have a top price but it really does work. Please feel free to discuss your options with Sue and Will in clothing.
That's it for this month, hope to see you here over the next few months, ride safe and keep it shiny side up.
