Australian Motorcycle News — January 30, 2018

virgins, bush bashers to veteran flat trackers and
speedway riders who only know how to turn left.
One of the most impressive rides though was from
Gympie teenager Jarred Brook, who swapped his
KTM RC390 and 450F for a Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone.
Humble to a fault, Brook was the first Australian
and still the only foreign rider ever to win the
prestigious AMA Nicky Hayden Horizon Award as
the most outstanding amateur racer in the US.
Within a couple of laps, Brook was sliding the
210kg 750cc Italian streetbike effortlessly through
the entire speedway section of the track. The V7III
was completely stock (with the exception of an
Arrow exhaust), and it only required a few tweaks to
get it sideways on the shale.
“We just firmed up the rear suspension a bit and
once I adjusted to how different the Guzzi was to
what I usually ride, it was all good and we were
away,” said Brook.
Brooke, Mick Kirkness and 16-year-old Max Whale

  head shootouts against Steve Martin on a
  Street Scrambler.
