Lachlan Blair and Fergus Lamb join forces with former Canyon Factory Racing Team member Joe Barnes a.k.a. “Top Chief” to create all-new Hazzard Racing ‘Emporium’ aboard single-pivot UK-made Orange (yellow, actually) Bikes.
Hazzard(ous) Racing
Kick back with a cuppa and watch the unusually told story of the birth of Hazzard Racing, featuring a robed Pete Scullion, and obligatory muddy rut slapping.
In 2019 the team are set to take on the EWS and Scottish Enduros, and much to our delight, they’ll be making plenty of edits over the season so we can while away the hours, wishing we could ride turns like that.
Here’s the chat from Orange Bikes
Orange Bikes are proud to announce that Joe Barnes and the Hazzard Racing team will coming onboard from January 2019.
We’re really excited to be welcoming Joe and his baeys back into the Orange fold – it’s fantastic news and we can’t wait to see all the plans on the table come to fruition. Part of those plans include racing at events that Joe’s schedule has previously prevented him from doing, along with a host of other Hazzardous Material coming your way. So stay tuned and watch this space for further news.
In the meantime, we can tell you that along with Joe Barnes, the key Hazzard Racing Team members will include Lachlan Blair (a.k.a. “the Mexican”) and Fergus Lamb (a.k.a. “Fergybaby”).
