Two of this year’s WinterNationals crowned champions, Sean Ricketts, 2017-2018 400 Thunder Australian Modified Bike Champion on his Kawasaki, and Ken Collin, 2017-2018 400 Thunder Australian Competition Bike Champion on his Hayabusa, ended up with an unexpected bonus!

Both run bikes equipped with Shinko Hook Up tyres purchased from Dragbike Parts Australia and supplied by Warrian Enterprises, and following their success and loyalty to the brand they have been rewarded. Here’s the official statement that was released:

Ken Collin - 2017-2018 400 Thunder Australian Competition Bike Champion - Hayabusa

When the 400 Thunder Australian Championships in Competition Bike and Modified Bike were decided at the 2018 Winternationals, we were happy to see that both Champions were running Shinko Hook Up tyres purchased from Dragbike Parts Australia and supplied by Warrian Enterprises.

As a reward for their loyalty, Competition Bike Champion Ken Collin and Modified Bike Champion Sean Ricketts will each receive a Shinko Hook Up Pro with our compliments.

This wasn’t pre-planned and neither rider was required to carry signage. The proof is in the fact that they each chose to use a Shinko Hook Up to win. Thank you Ken and Sean.

Shinko Tyres are imported into Australia by Bruce Collins Enterprises.
