Ontario Supermoto opportunity

From Parker Bros. Powersports / KTM

ETOBICOKE, ON -- There’s good news on the horizon for Ontario Supermoto riders who are looking to get some track time on their bikes between races. A new not-for-profit club, Ontario Supermoto, is being formed to address the issue of finding and working with convenient and suitable practice facilities within the Golden Horseshoe.

Dave Grummett, owner of Parker Bros. Powersports / KTM in Etobicoke, has agreed to head up the club and already has a tentative agreement in place that could see Mississauga’s Hershey Centre re-open to club members for weekly Wednesday night practice sessions starting late May through to mid September.

According to Grummett, “ Supermoto Ontario is being formed to provide members with a place to use their bikes other than on race weekends. Part of the club’s mandate will be to focus on and address the insurance and logistical concerns of the facility owners. Working with the various stakeholders, the club will institute the rules and regulations necessary regarding noise levels, safety equipment and rider conduct that will allow them to partner with other non traditional facilities in the future.

"Riders need places to practice if the sport is to continue growing and the Ontario Supermoto club structure and policies will help create the confidence required to open up other new practice areas."

Practice sessions will be structured with riders being grouped according to displacement and skill levels.
