SIMON EDWARDS
The creators of an electric motor- cycle developed in the Hutt Valley are gearing up to take on the world. UBCO, a finalist in the dis- covering gold section of the Wel- lington business excellence 2016 Gold Awards, has already exported some of its 2x2 all- electric bikes to Australia. Daryl Neal, who with Anthony Clyde devised the lightweight off-road bike with a dual electric drive, said if they can get enough models up and ready in time, they’ll push into the USA market next year. While the company’s sales and business headquarters is in Tau- ranga, Neal said core develop- ment and all R&D for UBCO’s motorcycles has been done in the Hutt Valley.

ASHWIN MAGAN DENTAL SURGERY FASTBRACES® EXPERTS Dr Ashwin Magan has been recognized as a leader in Fastbraces® Technology in New Zealand by being named a Master Affiliate. He is the Hutt Valley’s only Master Affiliate and is the second dentist in New Zealand to receive this honour. What this means to patients is that Dr Magan is now considered an expert and can provide an advanced level of care. Fastbraces® is an orthodondist invented, proven technology, which is Fast, Safe, Easy and Affordable for children and adults. Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery’s patients have had excellent results with this method. The surgery’s 20th finished case, Manuel Dalton, is delighted with his new look. Before Fast Braces he thought as an adult it wouldn’t be possible to get straight teeth quickly. But he did and is very thankful to thank the team at Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery. Unlike traditional braces, which measure correction in terms of years, Fastbraces® typically moves teeth into place in just months. Not only is it a quicker system, it involves less discomfort. Also unlike traditional braces where extractions are often needed for fitting, with Fastbraces®, extractions are rarely needed, and it’s cheaper too. In the past locals have had to travel out of town and pay $8,000 to $12,000 for braces. Dr Ashwin Magan is offering braces right here in Upper Hutt for between $4800 (metal) and $5800 (clear). “The system is working well and is giving great success, quickly and safely and is great for children, teenagers and adults,”Dr Magan says.

NICHOLAS BOYACK
It was the wrong result but Roy Sinclair was still happy to watch the St Patrick’s College Silver- stream first fifteen lose to Wel- lington College. Sinclair captained St Pat’s in 1945 when the team drew with Wellington 15-all. Remarkably, the Wellington captain from that 1945 match – Maurice de Terte – was also on hand to watch his old school win 29-26 on June 8. At 89, Sinclair is as sharp as a tack and enjoys a good laugh. He spent two years in the St Pat’s first fifteen and has no doubts as to why he was picked as a tight-head prop. ‘‘That was the place for the thickest bloke in the team,’’ he says. A talented sportsman, he was in the cricket first eleven, and was a champion boxer who also com- peted in athletics. Originally from Taihape, he Roy Sinclair, 89, was a special guest at St Patrick’s College Silverstream for their annual encounter with rugby rivals Wellington College.

NICHOLAS BOYACK
New Zealand Touring Car Cham- pion Brock Cooley has not fol- lowed a traditional route to suc- cess. The Karori builder took out the class two title with a dominant display, winning four races and wrapping up the title with a round to go. Unlike most drivers he did not cut his teeth in kart racing, and he did not start racing until he was 16. ‘‘I went mountain biking before this. We just never had enough money (for motorsport).’’ His father, John, raced a Mus- tang many years ago and it was his encouragement that got Cooley started. Although he lives in Welling- ton, the team has a strong Hutt focus. Most of his major sponsors are from the Hutt and team man- ager Mitch Seymour looks after the car from his base in Wingate. Cooley won the NZGT Mitsubishi Evo series in 2013 but this year’s win was a career best. It takes a lot of money to race any type of car and his Ford Fal- con cost him $55,000. Running costs added another $50,000 and he says that without Brock Cooley enjoyed a top season which was capped when he was crowned the New Zealand Touring Car Champion in class two. sponsors and people like Sey- mour, it would be impossible to ‘‘It is like a drug, I next season he plans to step up in Currently on the lookout for a being a good racer in New Zea- race. to class one and try his luck with new car, he is keen to stay with land so that you can race any- His car has a top speed of 240 am addicted.
