Welcome to One Long Way Round

The time has come to go where no One Way Round team has gone before!!!

We leave on our event on the 26th June from the Holt Lodge Hotel in Wrexham and are there from 6pm till 12, leaving at 00:01. It would be good if you and may be some friends could be there to see us off.

We can now anounce that NGK have recognised not only the importance of what the One Way Round team are doing, but also the effort that has been put in by the team and they are now one of our sponsors.

NGK Spark Plugs are widely used across all forms of motor sport including Formula 1, Touring Cars, Rally Cars and Motorcycle Racing.

The high compression ratios and engine speeds developed in high performance racing engines require spark plugs, which can withstand overheating and mechanical shock. NGK has a range of plug types capable of withstanding these severe conditions, many using precious metals such as platinum or gold/palladium.

NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd was established in 1975 and is now located in purpose built premises in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Within the company there are two main Divisions; NGK Spark Plugs responsible for spark plugs and related products, and NTK Technical Ceramics responsible for semi conductors, electronic components, ceramic cutting tools and fine ceramics. NGK has established a world-leading reputation for quality and innovation in all its product areas and is committed to maintaining this excellence

For information on specific applications please contact their Technical Department.

After the One Way Round meeting which was held on Sunday for members only and having had a brief discussion about our next trip. We sent a blanket email out to riders who are following the One Way Round facebook group, to see if they would be interested in riding round the coast of britain in a set time to raise money for charity. The milleage being covered would be about 3500.

There would be a fee for each rider to join, which would be donated to a chosen charity by the current One Way Round group. In less than 24 hrs of sending the message. We have got a total of 35 rdiers interested in joining in.

If you are interested in this amazing ride, then please let us know. There will be NO limit to the amount of bikes going, but obviously the more notice we have on the amount of bikers who would like to attend the better we can make the event.

Today Quill Exhausts have joined our ever growing list of corporate sponsors.

Quill have been hand-making exhaust systems and silencers since 1989. Initially this was as one off race exhaust systems for various factory road-racing teams. They now supply the highest quality exhausts silencers and pipework for most road applications as well as for racing.

They are also the sole manufacturers of the famous and most sought after road legal, race exhaust silencer - the Quill T3. Through continuious research and development, they have added the EVO2, TRI-OVAL and POWER CONE. All our exhaust silencers are not only ‘Road Legal’ but offer massive power delivery gains. This is backed up by our start of the art Dyno.

Quill have always maintained their racing links and continue to support many top class riders in various road racing championships - such as the Isle of Man TT and European Sound of Thunder Championship. With over 25 years experience in racing, if they don’t know it, it really isn’t worth knowing.

The One Way Round team can now confirm that they will be attending the Thundersprint motorcycle show.

The Thundersprint is one of the biggest events in Europe but they still keep to their original idea of having a huge, friendly party to which everyone is welcome. Let’s stress that point. The Thundersprint is for everyone - young, old, hard core race fans, classic enthusiasts or simply anyone wanting a wonderful day’s entertainment

You won’t see any in-your-face-activities at the Thundersprint. They specialise in Maypole dancing rather than Pole Dancing! What you will find is incredibly exciting motorcycle sprint racing right in the Northwich town centre, a huge trade area, masses of entertainment for the children, fine food and the unmissable Thundersprint Cavalcade of Motorcycling History.

First, a critical issue for everyone these days: cost. Despite being a world class event the Thundersprint has completely free admission. Parking too, is free of charge in Vale Royal Borough Council controlled parking areas - although some local companies do charge for using their private car parks. The choice is yours whether you wish to pay or not.

The main parking areas are well sign posted into Northwich from every direction.

The Thundersprint sets out to welcome the whole community and so we have excellent disabled parking, and viewing, right in the town centre. Because of the pressures on space, they  would ask that you respect these areas and only use them if you have a real need.

The whole of the Thundersprint is completely pedestrianised with the emphasis being on providing a safe environment for those who are perhaps not quite as nimble as they once were, children and families.

The show is to take place on the 9th and 10th May.
