Finished 3rd for the weekend!
Chris Trounson has previously raced as a passenger for his father Ron Trounson on his Aerial
550 and Suzuki GSX1100 in HMRAV. Towards the end of 2004 he raced Rons Suzuki with Bruce
Flack as his passenger. After showing a natural ability and support from his father Ron he
invested in the Yamaha YZF600 (previously owned by Dave McLachlan). He quickly became a
strategic and confident rider competing in other Victorian rounds and he was very keen to
show he is a very capable rider with ever improving abilities as a rookie in the second
round of the Australian Superbike Championships at Eastern Creek with Nicole Donelly as his
passenger finishing third for the weekend. Nicole is in her second year as a passenger and
competed with Geoff Irwin on his GS1000 throughout many Victorian rounds in 2004. Ron
Trounson with many years of mechanical experience on bikes is spending most of his time fine
tuning the bike to make it the perfect tool for Chris. The results show that there has only
ever been improvement so keep an eye out for this young gun because he is looking to
eliminate the rest of the competition in his class.
If you would like to sponsor this bike and see this young gun become number 1 he would be
