HARDWICK RACING PRODUCTS
Hardwick Racing have been involved with the motorcycle industry since the early 70s.
Honda franchises, Motorcycle insurance businesses and were consultants to the Shell Group
of Companies for 17 years as their International Motorcycle Marketing & Technical
Managers.
Jeff Hardwick (CEO) has been very active in his love of motorcycle racing. In the 70's it
was speedway and motocross, then later Superbikes and in more recent years World
Championship Grand Prix.
In the mid 90's, with some help from his good friend Mick Doohan, Jeff formed, owned and
managed the Shell Advance Grand Prix team. In the following years on the world scene many
top riders rode for Jeff including Garry McCoy, Tohru Ukawa, Anthony West, Scott Doohan, Leon Haslam,
Chris Walker, and many more. Some successful, some not. His greatest rider was Ukawa who
won 4 World Championship GPs and came second only to the great Valentino Rossi in the 1999
World Championship.
Jeff has a wealth of experience and puts the information he has gained over the years into
his products. His leathers are typical, "When it comes to quality and safety I will not
compromise" Jeff says. "My leather garments combine protection with looks. They are second
to none".
