HASLAM SWAPS HIS DUCATI FOR AN RAF TORNADO
Leon Haslam had the most exciting ride of his life today
when he was given a flight in a Tornado at RAF Marham in Norfolk.
The British Superbike star, who is currently 3rd in the championship,
was taken on the 1 hour 40 minute ride by Squadron Leader
Jez Holmes. Leon was pushed to the edge with the tornado reaching
speeds of 600mph.
A very excited Leon said afterwards, “To experience
travelling at 600mph just 150 feet above the ground was absolutely
amazing. It was tough trying to stay conscious but it was
fantastic.”
Wrigley’s Airwaves, title sponsor of the GSE Ducati
British Superbike team for whom Leon has ridden for 3 years,
were supporting the activity through their latest campaign
Airwaves Pro.
The Airwaves Pro campaign sets aside a fund totalling £20,000
for those people who would like to kick their lives up a gear.
To find out how you can get involved or see the results of
the Airwaves ‘Kick up a Gear’ campaign, please

Leon will be back on his Ducati 999F06 in round 12 of the
British Superbike Championship at Donington on September 23rd,
racing to secure valuable championship points as the 2007
season draws to a close.
