Padgett’s on the roads with HM Plant partnership - Malcolm - 13-05-2013 Padgett's Honda has announced a new partnership with HM Plant for the forthcoming North West 200 and Isle of Man TT road races. Under the official title of HM Plant Honda by Padgett's Motorcycles, the team will be running 19 times TT winner John McGuinness, who holds the TT lap record of 131.578mph, alongside another multiple TT and NW200 winner, Bruce Anstey. New Zealand's Anstey has secured 23 TT podiums and is the only man to achieve at least one top-three finish at every TT, NW200 and Ulster GP held in the last ten years. HM Plant Chairman John Jones said: "We're delighted to be back in the paddock, this time with the supremely successful Padgett's team and it's going to be incredibly exciting to support them as they attempt to do the impossible and repeat their phenomenal clean sweep of the TT in 2010." Padgett's Motorcycles team manager Clive Padgett said: "HM Plant have a fantastic history of supporting top flight motorcycle teams and Padgett's are proud to be their partner of choice for the 2013 North West 200 and Isle of Man TT. We are, and always will be, a family operation, but carrying such a great name on the fairings will be a massive boost to the team and we can't wait to go out there and repay John's faith in us by achieving further sporting success for his company." .
