E: 27/02 (Midday) WIN A 2009 YZF-R1 or VIP MotoGP Weekend

http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/forms/

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this eagerly awaited superbike is enter our competition prior to midday on Friday 27th February, get the answers correct and be drawn first out of the hat on that night. Of course, you have to be there too.
There is a runner up prize of a never to be forgotten VIP MotoGP weekend at Catalunya on 13/14th June 2009. Not to be sniffed at as you will be rubbing shoulders with Vale himself!
To be in with a chance of either prize, you have to:
o Nominate your participating Yamaha road bike dealer below
o Get the answers correct
o Be at the dealership at 8pm on Friday 27th February 2009
o Wait for the call!

While you are down at the dealer’s, feast your eyes on the range of great Yamaha motorcycles that they will have on display, including the brand new XJ6 and supersport legend, the YZF-R6 (which also features in the ‘No Worries’ finance campaign), plus the fabulous range of genuine Yamaha accessories.
You never know, you could be riding around on a brand new YZF-R1 with its MotoGP inspired crossplane crankshaft, uneven firing order and loads of other technology gleaned from the premier class and VR himself. But you have to be in it, to win it.

1st Prize – Yamaha YZF-R1
A brand new 2009 Yamaha YZF-R1, to be drawn on the night. Entry via Yamaha’s website (a specific page). The winning entry will be drawn at YMUK at 20:00hrs. The winner’s nominated participating Yamaha dealership will then be contacted by phone. To have a chance of winning, the entrant must be in attendance at that dealership. 2nd Prize – VIP MotoGP Weekend
The second successful competition entry winner drawn will be invited to attend the Catalunya MotoGP round on June 13/14 2009 as a guest of Yamaha Racing, given the opportunity to meet the factory riders.

Good Luck all!

    i dont understand does it mean you have to be at the dealerships nearest you when the name is drawn from the hat?
    Good things come to those who wait!
  • i assumed it meant you have to go there to pick it up if you win?
