A win with a little help from my friends
14 Mar 2009
Today was a mixed first day’s racing, with a happy ending. I crashed in the first race, then returned to win the second one.
First qualifying report
13 Mar 2009
We’re off! It’s cold but dry at Mallory, so I got stuck straight in from the first session. After four months off the track I built up the pace and soon felt comfortable, and the Aprilia Tuono Factory is singing.
Front row start
Second qualifying was damp so the grid for Saturday’s races is set from the first session. That means I’m on the front row as fastest Streetfighter and second overall behind the top Sound of Thunder bike. I’ll be aiming to win the races overall though, definitely! Can’t wait.

Season preview
09 Mar 2009
Hello and welcome to my racing blog with White Dalton Motorcycle Solicitors. The season begins this week, on Friday 13th no less, at Mallory Park with a three day meeting. So, now seems like a good time to give you some background to this racing venture – it seems odd to call it a ‘team’ […]
Corrosion!

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!!!
Ally Pally

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,

‘Blade update
Howdy all, I hope everyone survived the snow in February okay. As you may all know I decided to splash out a an ’08 Fireblade last year. Everthing was going swimmingly for the first 150 miles or so but then the tyres suddenly seemed to go off, especially when going into a right-hander, which resulted […]

Tom-Tom Version 1 and Version 2 V Garmin Zumo 550
13 Feb 2009
I am an all year round rider and I have now had three motorcycle satellite navigation systems. The first was the Tom-Tom version 1, which packed up after less than a year. The software was brilliant, the mapping was excellent. Unfortunately the build quality was rubbish, and I gave up on this.

Knee Down Action
13 Dec 2008
I was riding my bike along a quiet Country road, when a smooth fast right-hander just begged me to gun round it. I cracked my R6 nicely open, got myself into a good position, then dug my knee in. I managed to hit the cats-eyes with my knee, but that didn’t unsettle me, I was […]
Grating in the Road
13 Oct 2008
Recently I was out on a ride in an area I do not know very well. I was riding carefully around a few bends, and all of a sudden I was thrown from my bike because of a metal grating across the road that was loose and rocking on its axis. I have since checked […]
Trans-Action
26 Sep 2008
I was riding to work on my old Honda Translap, headlight on, filtering around the outside of stationery traffic at less than 10mph, according to witnesses.
