We took with us our Zero Race which again performed extremely well especially in the wet conditions. It was also great to see lots of new and existing GBS customers that came along for the day to spectate many even had a ride in the Zero and were very impressed with its handling and performance.
It was also great to have one of our Australian dealers Terry Dale join us for the day, who very much enjoyed his ride in the GBS Zero, Terry is in the final stages of completing his Zero Build and has been up to see us again this week at the GBS factory to discuss more Zero kits and ideas.
