Hi my name is Kyle Kentish and I am 17 years old. My aim/goal is to be the best GP motorcycle racer ever. I have been riding Motorbikes since I was just over 4 years old so lets have another British world champion. I am looking for sponsorship which is vital if I am going to make it to the top in this exciting sport. This is your chance to get in at the begining of what will be a fantastic career. I am totaly commited to it and spend every penny I earn on it. Motorcycle racing is gathering more and more coverage on TV and in the press. I am offering companies the opportunity to advertise on my bike and van for the whole of the 2003 season. Last year I did not compete in the full season but achieved good results on an uncompetative 125 Yamaha. My best positions were 5th's and 6th places which were exceptional considering that I was the highest placed privateer without any sponsorship. In 2003 I will be competing in the BEMSEE rounds of GP125 and if possible the MRO series. Your advertising will be on display at circuits like Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Mallory Park, Snetterton, etc. I know that I have the talent and drive to make it to the top and I have changed to a more competative Honda. My local paper (the Bucks Free Press) has already run a half page artical on me and has promised to follow my progress in 2003. Racing is expensive with a weekend costing approx £1000 (travel,Tyres,repairs,entrance fees, fuel etc,etc)so it is vital to gain help. In return for sponsorship the bike and van will carry your company logo approx size 100mm x 200mm. Company details could also be added to leathers or helmet at additional cost. Results will be e-mailed to you after each event. Photo's will be sent showing the logo's on the bike and van. Your name will be seen and mentioned in any publications that I am featured in. This sponsorship deal may be of interest to e-bay or web companies looking for advertising space. All races will be attended subject to injury. £500 for the year is less than £10 per week but it will make a great difference to my career and benefit your company at the same time. I will be offering smaller advertising spaces soon along with one larger main sponsor platform. Please e-mail me if you have any questions
