Karl "Bomber" Harris - Super bike and TT RIder
British Super Bike BSB 2012
Karl secured a Quattro Plant Kawasaki ride this year with PR Racing and took to the track with gusto. He has had some poor luck with being taken out by other riders and bike issues but when all was on song he achieved two top 10 finishes. An excellent result on a new bike and with a new team.
All year he has been working hard with Jon to maintain racing weight and fitness and to enhance his performance with tailored nutrition.
TT 2012
After 18 months together, Jon and Karl spent most the TT practice week together with the SMT Racing Team getting both mind and body into the zone. Not only did Karl need to be on top of his game to complete the gruelling 6 lap, super intense race but his team too. The whole team were awesome with Warren and Alec on the Spanners - TT legends in their own right - all honed and ready to go.
On Saturday 2nd June the team were ready to perform and as a whole they achieved Fastest Newcomer status - brilliant result and justified by the effort they all put in to ensure Karl has the best chance possible. Finishing 21st in his first TT is an amazing result.
Later in the week will see Karl hit the streets again for the SupertStock - Go Karl and Team SMT Racing, Evolution are behind you all the way….
2012 sees Karl take up his first TT ride. The TT is the infamous road race around the street circuit of the Isle of Man. Jon and Karl are working hard to increase Karl's already high levels of fitness to peak levels in order to take on the course.
Starting at the end of May, the TT is getting ever closer and optimum nutrition and focus are the key themes for Team Harris.
Karl can be seen daily in the gym studying the course on the ipad.
Karl Harris (born on October 21, 1979 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England) is a professional motorcycle road racer. He is a three-time former British Supersport champion and rode for the Splitlath team in 2011.
Karl has presented Jon with an excellent photo of him parting company with the ground on his superbike, look out for it on the gym wall.

Brett Chapman - Ice Hockey Player
Brett Chapman plays for the Sheffield Senators Ice Hockey Team. Brett is a well experienced veteran of the team. He has played for many years and knows the game well. Brett is a strong character in the dressing room and speaks up at any given opportunity. He is a leader and will stand up for his team-mates when required. Brett is sponsored by Evolution Gym.
Brett was recently awarded the SENs Shield. The Sen's shield passed from John-Henry to Brett for solid hits, good goal and convincing fight win!
The Sen’s shield is passed on player-to-player following each game.
Seen not as a ‘Man of the Match’ award, it is given to the worthy player for an individual event or part they have played that goes above and beyond for the team.
This is a special way the Sen’s recognise each other for those key contributions that can sometimes go missed in the grand scheme of a game of hockey.
