Dave Bowcock - Supported by Northukbikers

Dave Bowcock, is a 22 year old, living in Manchester UK, with his parents and his brother. Dave had his first race in 2001, on a mini-moto, and from that point on he was hooked!. In 2002, Dave won the Eastern Counties Mini-moto championship by a large margin, proving his abilty to ride and showing great race craft on such evenly matched machines.

In 2003, Dave moved up to his first big bike, an ageing Suzuki RGV250, good progress was being made, but unfortunatly it was slowed by an accident, which ended the season early. Dave therefore, with great determination purchased a ZXR400, and efforts began to put together a challenge for the 2004 season.

The year began on a Successful note, 2nd place in the Preston and District Motorcycle Club Rookie race, as the season unfolded, Dave found himself leading both the Formula 400, and open rookie classes, win after win followed, and confidence grew, Dave did a meeting with a larger club at Mallory Park, and even more wins followed.

Dave finished the 2004 season with 31 podiums, and 20 race wins, and thus was crowned the 2004 Formula 400 Champion, the Open Rookie champion, and the Peer of Wigan Champion, including a club record of a 51.2 second advantage over the rest of the field!

2005, and the beginning of the year saw Dave enter a few of the Virgin Mobile Cup rounds, and then return to club racing. He retains the R6 and with some modifications, it is now a very capable race bike.

So far, with Preston and District Motorcycle Club, Dave has done very well, with a bike on which he has little experience of the new set-up. 2nd places at the first round he attended, and 3 first places at the second, with a best lap so far of 56.8 seconds, things can only get better.
