Law Looking 'TRIK' After Securing MOTODIRECT Deal for 2014 Campaign
18-year-old Essex racer Mason Law, managed and mentored by double World Supersport Champion Andrew Pitt, is delighted to announce support from Trik Moto for his second full season in the Pirelli National 600cc Superstock class.
Trik Moto is a fresh new brand providing ‘stuff 4 bikes’ and sits proudly alongside its more established cousin RST – with both being distributed by MotoDirect – a premier manufacturer and distributor of motorcycle clothing, helmets and accessories.
The Benfleet lad, who had a best-placed finish of fourth in his rookie season after a memorable performance at Snetterton, said of his new sponsor: “We had a good year last year with our own little set-up, but Andrew [Pitt] spoke to the MotoDirect guys, who he has a long-standing relationship with, and we were able to secure support from Trik Moto which I’m delighted about.”
On his new team-mate and pre-season testing Mason added: “Trik Moto supported Hudson Kennaugh on his way to winning the Pirelli National 1000cc Superstock title last year, and it will be good to have him as a team-mate this year.
“We have been testing out in Spain on a slightly modified Kawasaki road bike, that we purchased to keep the miles off the engine on my ZX6R race bike, and it has helped me greatly. I was also out in Italy with Andrew doing some cycling and he was preparing a fitness programme for me and giving me motivational advice – so it has been a great off-season in general.”
Looking to the season ahead Mason said: “I’m quietly confident that we can do a good job and be up at the sharp end challenging this year. With Andrew there to support and advise me and the work we have done over the winter; not forgetting the support from my dad and a few others – I think it’s going to be a good season for us on the Trik Moto Kawasaki.”
MotoDirect Sales & Marketing Director Jonny Towers is delighted to be able to support the Essex lad, and commented: “We started out with the Trik Moto brand on Hudson Kennaugh’s bike last year, but have expanded things this year to include young Mason Law on a 600.
“We have a long standing relationship with Andrew Pitt through RST and a lot of great history too, so when he comes to us with a young rider we like to get involved and help out. Mason has been in Spain testing a lot, setting some very impressive lap times and under the watchful eye of Andrew we expect him to be one of the front runners this year.”
