Corky is going through the registration process for the next edition of the Africa Eco Race.
It's been an ambition of his to compete in this event and follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest riders in rally history. It's not for everyone but Corky is addicted to the challenges of riding the bigger twin cylinder bikes. Riding them has given him his greatest and most enjoyable racing achievements. Entering both the Malle Moto and Twin Cylinder classes in the Africa Eco will be his ultimate rally adventure.
Earlier his year he took part in both the Tuareg and the Morroco Desert Challenge rallies on his modified KTM 950 Adventure with solid performances/results. Recently he just came back from an 8,000 km trip which included the Illyria Raid on the new Africa Twin.
The plan is to pull the 950 Rally out of retirement and have another go. To fund his entry Corky will be selling his much prized KTM Super Enduro that gave him his 1st taste of Twin Cylinder racing in the Hellas (2015) and the Tuareg Rally (2016).
Hel Performance, and JD Racing are supporting. Rally Raid Products have kindly offered to service the rear shock, Devon Moto have sorted Corky out with helmets from Bell, a mattress, & sleeping bag, Okehampton Cycles help with his bicycle needs for his training, & he has base layers, underwear, fleece jackets, and waterproofs from Jofama for the event.
