Leon Haslam at Motorcycle Live

BMW World Superbike rider Leon Haslam made a special appearance at the Carole Nash Motorcycle Live show at The NEC yesterday, meeting and greeting fans and taking part in the fun and games on the Black Horse Stage in the Arai Entertainment Zone.

Haslam, together with Troy Corser, have taken the S 1000 RR machine to the wind tunnel of the company’s aerodynamic department, to aerodynamically optimize their riding positions on their bikes and optimize the aerodynamic efficiency of the wind shield of the 2011 BMW S 1000 RR.

The riders have then entered the BMW fitness camp in Stephanskirchen, Germany, for their physical preparation for the 2011 FIM Superbike World Championship.

This year’s event offers six different opportunities to ride motorcycles, inside, outside, on road and off road, including the industry-backed Get On campaign, the My First Honda Licence, and the TM+X and DBR Off-Road Zone – which includes the Suzuki Off-Road Experience for kids and the Yamaha Off-Road Experience for adults.

“This year’s event is bigger and better than ever and so much hard work has gone into it. When we get positive feedback from the visitors as we have been doing this week it’s all worth it and it makes us look forward to getting started on next year as soon as we can!” stated Managing Director of Event organizers MCI Exhibitions Finlay McAllan, thinking of next year’s event.
