CCM FT35s Won
18 Mar 2010
Our latest prize bike winner, Chris Axtell, collected his CCM from the White Dalton offices on the 18th March 2010.
0.027s can be an eternity
14 Mar 2010
That’s how much I lost the race by, having been mugged at the Hairpin on the last lap and almost repassing by the line. Carl Marsden won, I was about a metre behind and half alongside him. That’s now three winners in three races and something extra to play for in this afternoon’s final outing. […]
Mallory race 4
I got the win from Chris Matthews after Carl Marsden crashed on the warm-up lap. That took the pressure off a bit so I could focus on staying ahead of Matthews without pushing too hard on a rear tyre that was way past its best. It looks like this season will be spectacular. Thanks to […]
Qualifying
13 Mar 2010
I’m third on the grid for this weekend. That’s a little disappointing in itself, but it was the first time I’d ever ridden the bike in the dry. The other two have done lots of testing so I’ll try not to beat myself up too much. There are some tyre and brake issues to look […]
First race, third place
I rode as hard as I could, I promise you, but I just didn’t have the grip to go faster. Chris Matthews won in fine style and Carl Marsden was second after we had a decent battle.
Race two
I won. And it feels great. Carl was second and Chris third this time. It was a hard race and I had to fight back from third at half distance. After the slight disappointment of this morning it feels all the sweeter. It’s also a relief to know I can fight for wins and that […]

Season and Rd1 preview
The 2010 season starts this Saturday at Mallory Park. Part of the club racing idiom is not knowing who you will be racing until you sign in on raceday morning. The pecking order won’t shake out until after qualifying, at the earliest. One (big) step up, in the British paddock, all the riders and teams […]
Wheelie Bad
05 Mar 2010
I have just been written up by the police for dangerous driving. I executed a deliberate wheelie in a 40mph stretch of dual carriageway for about 60 – 70 metres. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the police patrol car in a garage forecourt behind a transit van. What should I expect?
New bike unveiled in two days!
25 Feb 2010
My new bike is almost complete and I’ll reveal it this weekend. The bodywork has been painted by S&B Automotive Academy and it looks fantastic. This weekend will be my first chance to get pics of it in daylight so I’ll post a few then. After that I’ll explain the choice of bike and parts, […]
Another teaser
08 Feb 2010
Here’s another big hint about my new bike for this year. Anyone care to have a guess?
Passenger Problems
01 Feb 2010
I was riding my bike in Central London, in an area where taxis stop in a rank in the middle of the road. Traffic was heavy, and I was slowly filtering. I’m a regular commuter and ride into London most days. A black cab passenger door swung open from the opposite side to the driver, […]
Teaming up with White Dalton again in 2010

It’s with great pleasure and excitement that I can announce White Dalton Motorcycle Solicitors will be continuing to sponsor me in the Streetfighter A class through the 2010 season.
2010 race calendar confirmed
12 Jan 2010
The final calendar for the 2010 ThundersportGB season has been confirmed, with a few changes from the club’s first two years.
Big news coming soon!
05 Jan 2010
Happy New Year everyone. May you prosper and enjoy all the success that you wish for… Unless you’re racing against me in the Streetfighter A class at ThundersportGB that is, in which case you’ll understand if I cap that at second place! The 2010 season is now only ten weeks away and preparations are in […]
It Wasn’t Me!
29 Dec 2009
I have just received a summons for speeding on my Triumph Speed Triple in London. Apparently I was stopped by a constable in uniform, who gave me a producer, and reported me for speeding. The problem I have is that this never happened. I have a Speed Triple, I do live in a London suburb, […]
