Found The Issue With The R6

We have found the issue with the R6. It's not the head bearings, it's the steering damper mount. It looks like it's either missing a spacers or is off a different model. The bearing in the centre has become notchy with being pulled into place, hence it felt HORRIBLE to...

Shake Down Test At Oulton Park

Wednesday saw my first outing on the new R6 and well that didn't go so well. First things first, I didn't come off, so at least that's one thing. First off I was later than intending to get to the track and had to park up a distance away from...

Welcome The New Addition Yamaha R6

After a mammoth 564 mile round trip to Kent at the weekend may I introduce you to... My new Yamaha R6. I haven't taken any photos yet, bar a quick snap shot in the van, but I did get there, got it and got back all just in time to...

I am Gixxer-less

Well after 4 great years I am now Gixxer-less. It was picked up yesterday and I can reflect on some really great times. I hope the new owner has as much fun as me.... The new bike will have a lot to live up too. What is it? Watch this...

Time To Sell The Gixxer

Well it's been great. But I have a case of shinynewtoyitus and I have it bad. So it's time for me an the GSXR to part company Full details here

Confirmed My Number for No Limits is 17

Just had a call from No Limits Racing confirming my number for this year (well mainly to tell me I'd forgotten to put a photo in with my membership). So... no need to rename this site as I am 17 with them as well. It's not all good news I'll...

Poor Finish to 2014 and 2015 Starts Here!

Ooooh, well it's been a while since I have updated the site. After my offs at Donington I could manage the last round at Thruxton (well you can't not do Thruxton). The damage to the bike wasn't too bad, mainly the trashed fairing and the master cylinder took a whack....

Well Donington Did Not Go To Plan

Donington Park is one of my favourite tracks and to come away from there with very few race miles was extremely annoying, mostly at myself. I not only crashed on Saturday in the first race, the Open 600 qualifier, but I then repeated the trick on the Sunday's first race. I...

A Bit of a Shopping Splurge Before Donington

I have been a little bad and done a little shopping for some odds and bods before Donington. I am running out of time to do an oil change before the race weekend so got  a couple of oil filters, K&N from eBay (£19.99 for the 2). A little more than...

Donington Entry In

It's that countdown time again, as Donington is next. Rather than do my now traditional trick of sending my entry in really late making sure the fee is on the "next months credit card bill" I decided to send it in good and early this time round. This was done...

Missing Castle Combe Wasn’t Fun

Well that was a hard weekend watching the results and updates coming from the races at Castle Combe. All the great weather as well didn't help. I used the time (inbetween house stuff) and while the World Superbikes was on to update this site a little bit, as I hope...
