CRESCENT Suzuki are celebrating the start of September in fine style with an open weekend this weekend at the Verwood branch.

If previous open weekends are anything to go by, the home of the Rizla Suzuki British Super Bike Team will be packed over Saturday and Sunday, as visitors meet the team and look at stunning machines.

John Reynolds, Chris Walker and Cal Crutchlow will be on-site to meet and greet, there'll also be the chance to wander round the team's workshop and see how the bikes are prepared (hands should be kept in pockets, no wandering home with an engine you found').

If you've wondered how race bikes are prepped then take part in the question and answer session with the team mechanics.

There are plenty of other things to see and do - such as a 200hp road-legal GSX-R, the new B-King, a stunt rider, drag bikes and in-store discounts on clothing and accessories.

Rizla race team merchandise will also be available.

There will also be the chance to have a ticket proving how powerful your bike is - but not one with a fine attached - from the on-site dyno.

On the subject of tuning, there will be the Suspension Support Trailer in attendance to answer problems on how to keep the sticky stuff on the road. Prizes and competitions along with refreshments should help make the weekend a memorable one.

Just pop over to The Ebblake Industrial Estate, Verwood, BH31 6AX between 9am-5pm Saturday and 10am-4pm Sunday.
