24 Mar 2009
If you are a parent who is reading this because your son or daughter is getting a scooter or their first small motorbike and you are terrified, read on. You know your own kid, but rather than make a confrontation of it, maybe controlling the risks is a better plan.
Number Plate
23 Mar 2009
I have a one line number plate on my bike but the letters are of the required height and dimensions. I have still been stopped and told that I will be prosecuted for it. Is this right?

Ok I got the short straw I get to drive the HUGE White Dalton bus across to a show in Dunstable instead of riding my bike BOO!!! The upside is the show promises to be good and it is local to home.

Exciting race and a win!
15 Mar 2009
Sunday’s first race was adrenalin fuelled even before it began. It took a couple of goes to bump start the bike, and then I got stuck between a load of caravans in the jammed paddock on the way to the grid! You really couldn’t make it up.
Three in a row

First qualifying report

Corrosion!
08 Mar 2009
Well this is the first time I have been a “blogger.” As way of background I have been riding bikes since I was about 12 when I managed to squeeze an H100 engine into a Honda MT5 bought with my paper round money!!!

Well, we survived the Ally Pally Motorcycle Show, and its back to the grind stone now.
Cold weather riding kit
If there isn’t snow on the road, I ride, so my cold weather gear has got to be good. A 600 mile day is not unusual for me – on my old man’s Beemer GS – and over the years,
