BMF Tail End Show Report
24 Sep 2009
Jo and I have just finished the Tail End show in Peterborough. We would both like to thank everyone who came by for a card, chat or cup of tea. We both met lots of lovely people and had a great weekend. It was also really nice of clients past and present to come and […]

Also, congratulations to Mick Riddle on entering the top five overall following a great run of results. You can see him and his green Kawasaki chasing me in […]

Sunday race one
13 Sep 2009
I’m not sure what’s more incredible, the beautiful sunshine for the third day in a row in north west Wales or the podium I just scored on a Honda FireStorm. It came at the expense of bad fortune for Keith Smith, who highsided out of second place, but unhurt. Matthews took second, denied the win […]
‘Storming
The last race of the weekend was loads of fun. I pushed hard to try to get on the podium again and I missed it by just 0.4s. A last lap lunge at Keith Smith didn’t quite work. I lost too much on the straight to outbrake him. Denyer won with Matthews second, keeping the […]
Qualifying
12 Sep 2009
Gotta be quick, racing soon. I’m 8th on the grid and 4th A bike, which is ok. If I can do that in the race then I’ll be satisfied. Wilko
Race one
Fourth in class, seventh overall behind a few B bikes. That’ll do donkey, that’ll do. Massive congratulations to Keith Smith who won ahead of Andy Denyer and Chris Matthews. Wilko
Race two
Race two was loads of fun, dicing with the Streetfighter B machines. I was fourth in class again and managed to grab sixth overall on the last lap. That’s the very best I could hope for this weekend, so I’m happy. The FireStorm is going well for what it is. I tried to improve the […]
Ear-Plugs continued …
11 Sep 2009
Since yesterday, I have learned two new things about my ear-plugs. Firstly, when a house or car alarm a few streets away goes off in the middle of the night, and the sound feels like it is piercing your brain and you’ll never sleep again, these moulded ear plugs block out the sound completely. They […]
Farewell English Summer, Hello Winter Riding Kit
This week I have had to hang up my summer air-flo jacket for the last time, and switch back to the familiar old leather jacket ready for the winter. I can’t believe how sudden the drop in temperature seems to have occurred; the last few days have been quite bitter at morning commuter time … […]
Online Out Of Line?
09 Sep 2009
My bike was stolen and witnesses saw it being sold on an internet auction site. After a long investigation, the culprits are now inside, but I’ve still lost thousands of pounds for the misfortune of having my motorcycle stolen. As I know who the culprits are, would it be worth pursuing a civil claim against […]
Anglesey preview
08 Sep 2009
Had all gone to plan at Brands Hatch ten days ago, then this weekend’s Anglesey round near Hollyhead in north west Wales couldn’t come soon enough. As things stand, with me, the Tuono, and my championship hopes all taking a pounding at Brands, I’ve been willing the clock to slow down. And not because I’ve […]
Junior Scrambler
05 Sep 2009
My son has a little off road motorbike, which he rides around on wasteland near our estate. Apparently neighbours have been complaining about him, and my son’s motorbike was seized by the Police. In fairness they had warned him before that his riding was putting people in danger.
South West Motorcycle Show
04 Sep 2009
David and I had an excellent time at this always friendly show. I do a lot of shows and I always reckon this show is one of the best for the public. Some of the traders mentioned that there was so much on (especially those mental stuntriders) that people were not shopping enough but I […]
