Wrong Way Down Sponsors

It's nice to know that even in these days of crunchy credit there are still people with enough faith in their products to associate them with us. If we are up the creek then these guys are the paddle.

Continental Tyres

Continental are one of the world's leading suppliers of performance tyres. They have a track record of sponsoring high performance globe trekkers including Charley and Ewan's adventures and Nick Sanders who has accomplished many round the world trips on a Yamaha R1.

An Extreme Trifle spokesperson commented "It's a testament to the diversity of the Continental tyre range that they had a tyre to match our requirements. Either that or they've just compacted all the factory off cuts in to some round shapes knowing that they'll still perform better than the tyres that came as standard"

Continental are kitting out all the bikes with their high performance Conti-Go tyres and they even went as far as kitting out our trusty support van with tyres worth 5 times more than the van itself.
