'You 've heard the slogans a thousand times"KERKE
RKICKS ASS " and Supertrapp's "F NOT
AST
FICTION." But take a moment tolook atthe records.
You 'll see who's really "fast" and who's writing
"fiction."
Amidst co n troversv, co n fus io n a nd

KERKER equipped bikes really "KIC
KASS." Look atour
success-there's nothing phoney about ourrecord.
Whether it be Superbike
competition, endurance
racing, on the dirt, in the
water or atthe drag
strip, KERKER is the
leader. Those are the
facts. A matter ofpublic
record. You just can't
make up your own
natonal titles...

But there's even more. Remember their adthat asked
why KERKER didn 't finish in the top 10 ofthe 1984
Grand National Series? It was the joke ofthe industry
because everyone knew that KERKER didn 't makedirt
bike systems. But we took their challenge and
developed systems forBubba Shobert and Ted Boody.
The results? Bubba won the Grand National Championship and Ted finished a stlong second. Not bad for
ourfirst timeout
