For the third consecutive year Walters Medical are proudly sponsoring James East who this season joined the Downshift Race Team for the 2015 National 1000cc Superstock Championship.

James was originally introduced to our Managing Director, Richard Walters, through Richard Murphy at Race Bike Bitz in Royston, Hertfordshire, who coincidentally supply parts for our sponsored enduro Champion and, of course, for the boss himself for his “hobby” . . . . . . . the rest is history.

James’ passion for everything “bike”, combined with his humble personality, extreme determination, hard work and enthusiasm for the sport, made him the ideal choice for us to give something back to an up and coming young man and aspiring star.

With a love of motorcycles spanning 40+ years, our Managing Director, Richard, and our Operations Director, Julie, are delighted they can support a local lad in James realise his dream; something they perhaps once thought of themselves!
