I've had a great day out at the Thundersprint in Northwich today. Lots to see, and by heck was it warm!

Took lots of photos too as just for once i remembered the camera!

Firts pics are of the cavalcade of all the race bikes doing a couple of tours of the streets.

Looks like a great day out, I would love to have a go on that Vyrus, or even just see it in the flesh. Are they for sale?

Yes they are for sale...base model is £25,000 and the 4 valver is £45,000.

 The road bikes are built in Italy but this race bike was built mainly in the UK by my brother (Aarron) and myself.   We have used the best British technology you can get and british industry has backed us to the hilt.

 Go to www.altoperformance.com and look under Vyrus to see the build and sponsors.

If you want to see it in the flesh, come to a race meet www.thunderbikeuk.com we dont bite and are very friendly.  Anyone who is interested is welcome.

 We will be at the festival of 1000 bikes too in July.

Perhaps see you soon,

Alot of respect and admiration into what you have done. Takes alot of guts to break from the norm, and well done for being so competitive. I can imagine its not easy getting spares for that. Would defo be up for going along to a race meet to see it in the flesh.

 

Who races it? Cant imagine the repair bill if thats the wrong side up on the tarmac. 

 

 

Great photos.  There are some classic bikes, old and modern

 

That Vyrus looks the dogs.   I wonder what it's like to ride?  Does Ben offer test rides?

Triples are the future, baby!

Don't even think about it Kwacky - there would be next to no bolt-on aftermarket parts for you to replace everything with!

Ben - the Vyrus really does look the danglies. It's just kicked the Bimota Tesi out of my fantasy garage

 

If only I had more kidneys to sell...
