  • MODERN ENDURO Mike Lafferty
    MODERN ENDURO ary Enman, a 15-year-old hare scrambles racer from Bangor, Pa., admits that he wasn’t sure what to expect when he started enduro racing. “For the most part, I didn’t have any idea what I was doing when I lined up for my first enduro,” says Gary, who decided to try the national enduros when he was just 13 years old. “My younger brother, Neil, and I were looking for something different. Our dad used to ride traditional time-keeping enduros, so we decided to give enduros a try. It wasn’t that hard to transition into.” The Enman brothers say their parents are their pit crew, but their dad hopes to ride with them next year. On occasion, the boys get to ride on the same row, and that adds to the camaraderie-building experience. “The enduros have a great community vibe,” Neil says. “It’s like being part of a huge family. Someone is always there to One Of help when you need it.” While racing is the main focus of the weekend, the Enman Motorcycling’s brothers say they enjoy camping, hanging out with their race friends and checking out the terrain. They also try to Oldest Disciplines, experience something local to the race location, whether it’s seeing a national landmark or eating at a local restaurant. Enduros Are Evolving For “If you’re someone wondering if you should try enduros, I say A New Generation just go for it,” Gary says. “It’s nice to go out and race all day, but be able to take breaks and reset your mind.

  • The Chairman's Notes
    Worcester & Hereford Advanced Motorcyclists September 2015 The Chairman’s Notes Welcome to the WHAM Newsletter It has been great to see so many of you out on a Sunday ride and at our Slow Riding Day this Summer. Firstly congratulations to Gary Barnes on passing his Masters test with flying colours. I know he put a lot of effort into preparing for the various aspects of the I have had my riding filmed to enable me to visualise feedback and ascertain my riding style in corners and when overtaking. This was part of training. Many of us have cameras for both personal use and training purposes. Please consider how you use them for private use, when with club members. Please ask permission before filming and never put videos in the public domain without prior consent. The club has protocols for training with cameras but we rely on your mutual respect and common sense towards fellow club members. Tony Davies and Ali Lewis have done a fantastic job organising the weekend to Exmoor and sorting routes. The accommodation was comfortable with good food. Spookily – why do fish and chips taste better by the sea? We all happily tucked into the local delicacy whilst avoiding seagulls! Thanks also to Den for organising probably the best Slow Riding Day WHAM have offered. What a fantastic turn-out. Feedback has been very positive from you all and many have mentioned how good an opportunity it was to test you and your bike in a controlled environment. Activities included slow riding circuit, slalom courses, hazard avoidance, higher speed slalom and higher speed braking.

  • Flag Bearer of the Recovery in Automotive Segment
    Sector Report 2 Wheelers 28th August, 2020 Auto 2 Wheelers in a sweet spot – Flag bearer of the recovery in Automotive Segment Indian two-wheelers faced a severe downturn in FY20 and are expected to fall further in FY21 due to COVID-19 and BSVI cost push; however, volumes should rebound by FY22E and FY23E on two years of low base. In light of COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the industry volumes to fall by ~12% in FY21E, followed by strong growth of ~18% and ~14% in FY22E and FY23E. We are bullish on the Indian 2W industry over the next 2-3 years. The auto volumes are back by almost adecade whereas the margins are at cyclical lows; we expect multi-fold earnings growth in the recovery period. We believe Hero Motocorp Ltd will outperform its peers on the back of strong rural demand and preference for entry-level motorcycles. Eicher Motors with its strong franchise and a renewed focus on new products is expected to do well. We are of the opinion that TVS Motors is trading at significantly higher multiples in comparison to other 2 wheeler OEMs and hence we expect limited upside from current levels. We assume coverage on the two-wheeler industry with a BUY rating on Hero Motocorp Ltd (Hero), HOLD rating on Eicher Motors Ltd (EIM) and a SELL rating on TVS Motors Ltd (TVSL). We upgrade our rating from HOLD to BUY on Bajaj Auto Ltd (BJAUT). Covid-19 and Key Regulatory Changes amidst weak cycle India's two-wheeler (2W) industry saw its worst downturn in a decade as volumes fell by 18% YoY in FY20 amid weakening economy and regulatory changes leading to higher insurance and road tax.
