The story so far

Gordon the supermono

Gordon was built by the renowned racer Mike ‘Spike’ Edwards to campaign in supermono in the late noughties. He wanted to show that he could do well on a cheap eBay purchase to prove that he didn’t win just because he always had the best bike!

Jason luckily got the chance to buy Gordon from Mike a few years back.
