Visitors to this year’s Motorcycle Live Show will have the chance to test their reaction times on a Speedway bike formerly owned by triple World Champion Greg Hancock.

Ignition specialist NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd – which sponsors 46-year-old Greg – has purchased one of his old bikes and has fitted it with a clutch release reaction tester so that motorcycle enthusiasts can test their skills on the company’s stand at the show which is being held at the NEC, Birmingham on November 19-27.

Californian Greg – who is currently leading the 2016 Speedway World championship – is renowned for his lightning fast reactions at the start of races.

NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd Marketing Manager Mark Hallam said: “We are delighted that we have been able to obtain one of Greg’s bikes and we are planning to debut the ‘reaction tester’ on our stand at Motorcycle Live.

“We have sponsored Greg for a number of years and I’m sure the opportunity for visitors to test their reaction times will be a big attraction, not only for Speedway fans but for all motorcycling enthusiasts. There will be a prize for the fastest reaction time on each day of the show.”

This year’s Motorcycle Live will feature non-stop interactive entertainment, classic, custom and special anniversary displays, celebrity appearances and the incredible FMX Live Arena.

More than 33 of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers are exhibiting alongside NGK, showcasing not only their existing models, but also their 2017 machinery for the first time in the UK.
