Gary Turner - Managing Director
Procarbon
Gary has been in the motorcycle industry for 12 years. For 9 years he has been designing custom sport and race bikes. He headed up Pro Carbon and Pro Britten, both international motorcycle race teams as manager and rider for 6 years. He has as many years before that in both off-road and circuit racing. After acquiring the last available Britten V1000 in late 1998, he formed and managed the Pro Britten Racing Team for 1999/2000 seasons.

This bike won at Daytona in the Sound of Thunder class. For the last 5 years he has owned a motorcycle shop specializing in advanced performance parts with a focus on carbon fiber and wheels. His passion for speed and performance and his concern for the safety and well-being of the racing riders led him to explore the use of carbon fiber as a viable alternative, and he has designed and produced carbon fiber prototypes for many other motorcycle parts, all of which he has added to BlackStone's product line.
