Jeremy McWilliams to race NW 200

[Blunder]

Jezza, the king of slide, will race a Kawasaki 650 twin at the NW 200 in the new Supertwins class. He's 48 years old.

Wow, after riding a GP bike, I can imagine him caning the little 650 down the straights thinking "Bloody Hell, Come On, Hurry Up Man!"

It's gonna seem tame by comparison, despite the circuit.

But good to hear he's still turning wheels in anger, even if they are training wheels (for a guy with his level of experience anyhow).

McWilliams the King of Slide?  I thought that was Garry McCoy, an Australian?

The NW200 is a real balls and drafting roads race.  Hope he's up for it.  He's certainly partnered with the right team for supertwins domination.

You're right, it is Garry.   Ooops.

Anyway, McWilliams has been racing select events, working with Kawasaki making commercials and guesting at racing schools since his GP days, and at 48 he's still younger than me.
