Shane “Shakey” Byrne knows a thing or two about superbikes. The Lambeth, England, native has six British Superbike Championships to his credit. He’s also a race-winning Superbike World Championship rider and has claimed his share of points in MotoGP. So, when number 67 says a superbike collection is the best in the U.K., you listen.
Granted, the owner is Byrne’s close friend, but it’s hard to argue with a stockpile of rare Honda and Ducati superbikes. If name-dropping is the name of the game, Byrne (and his collector friend) have you beat. From Niall Mackenzie to Steve Hislop, from Carl Fogarty to Davide Tardozi, tales from the paddock flow freely in the Magnolia Office (as the Late Brake Show’s Jonny Smith calls it).
