I pulled over at clearways once after a thump and decrease in power with a ZX10 Engine, after stopping on the Grass I looked back and saw the number 3 conrod on the circuit. At this point I switched off the engine which was still ticking over… Then the Oil on the Exhaust caught fire, and we sprayed it in extinguisher to put it out 🙄

From Steve Kershaw. https://gofund.me/ad396167

Hi Folks, Ryan Charlwood has started a gofundme page for our good friend and much loved sidecar passenger Shelley.

Shell suffered very serious injuries in a testing accident at VDV in France and is still currently in hospital in France.

The funds are to help Shelley with the cost of returning to Britain as recovery is going to be a very long process.

Come on Shelley 💪💪🤞🤞you can do it! Love from all team Kershaw #29 xxx

The first of two appearances with the FIM Superbike World Championship takes place at the famous Assen circuit in The Netherlands over the weekend of April 23-24.
