WORDS: BOOTHY
As far as motorbikes go I’ve tried my hand at almost all the different disciplines that I can think of, from mopeds to motocross bikes, trials bikes to trail bikes, electric bikes to enduro bikes, I’ve done it all. But for nearly 30 years, there has been one form of motorcycle sport that’s eluded me – it’s supermoto, and it’s something that I’ve been desperate to have a go at since I first saw a slick-shod MX bike drifting gracefully towards a hairpin, completely broadside, smoke billowing from its rear tyre with footpeg-scraping levels of lean angle.
