It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us for the presentation of the 2014 Pata Honda team at Motor Bike Expo to be held at the Verona Fiere in Italy on Saturday 25 January.

Contesting the 2014 World Superbike and World Supersport championships, the Pata Honda team will compete with the same rider line-up as in 2013 with the clear aim of securing race victories in order to battle once more for two championship titles.

Following a difficult 2013 season, in which they both sustained serious injuries, British riders Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam will climb aboard the new Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP that was launched in Milan last September.

Meanwhile, Dutch flyer Michael van der Mark will once again team up with Italian ace Lorenzo Zanetti on Honda’s CBR600RR machine to build on the experience and podiums gained in their World Supersport rookie seasons in 2013 when they finished in fourth and fifth places respectively.

The 2014 Pata Honda team will be presented at 15.00 hrs on Saturday 25 January and the presentation will be followed by opportunities to interview the riders, team management and Honda personnel.

Please let us know if you can join us by replying to [email protected], and we look forward to welcoming you to the Verona Motorbike Expo and a new championship season with Pata Honda.

With best wishes

The Pata Honda Team

THE BIKER GUIDE have been contacted as they are looking for vibrant and interesting characters to enter the house and think that Bikers may fit the bill!

They will also be around Edinburgh and Glasgow on 24th and 25th January and would love to visit any Motorbike rallies or groups that may be interested.

If you would like more information, please email them @ [email protected]

As promised, an evening With Ian Hutchinson will take place on Friday 31st January 2014 @ Colin Appleyard in Leeds

One of our most hotly anticipated events returns. In the hot seat is multi TT and recent Macau GP winner, Ian Hutchinson. Ian was due to attend our Evening With back in 2012 but was rushed to hospital following a second break to his leg. The injuries threatened to end his career, but he has just completing one of the most successful comebacks racing fans have seen in recent history by winning the Macau GP. We are honoured to have him join us to share his amazing story - make sure you don't miss this opportunity!

As usual we'll be putting on a bit of food & drink and will also have a few goodies to give away plus some special one night only offers! Doors will be open from 6pm onwards & we'll aim to get things underway at 7pm. Sounds like a pretty good Friday night to us so why not come along and bring a friend? But don't forget to register! We look forward to seeing you there.

Places are LIMITED and as we've had full houses every year so far so we'd suggest you register immediately to avoid disappointment (full details below).
