Honda legends back at Phillip Island

Mick Doohan and Daryl Beattie were joined by other luminaries at the famous circuit to start the countdown to the 2013 Tissot Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix

Five-time MotoGP world champion Mick Doohan was joined by fellow GP star Daryl Beattie at Phillip Island recently to kickstart the countdown to the 2013 Tissot Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at the circuit from October 18-20.

The duo, teammates in the 1993 MotoGP Honda factory team, took celebrity guests on two-seater rides around the circuit on specially modified CBR1000RRs, including event ambassador Helena Vestergaard.

"To have Australia's world famous riders down at Phillip Island showing non-motorcyclists a glimpse of the thrill of racing is really great,” said Honda Motorcycles National Marketing and Racing Manager Glyn Griffiths. “For Honda, to see the excitement of people at the end of the ride is what it is all about, racing and Honda's history of racing is an important part of the company's make-up and this event combines it all perfectly."

Limited tickets remain for Honda's VIP marquee at the grand prix. For more information visit www.hondamotorcycles.com.au.
