Race two
13 Mar 2010
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
28 Jan 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.

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, […]
Whitstable Toy Run 2009
08 Dec 2009
Sunday morning brought torrential rain and oodles of surface water, so I was rather glad that Andrew had made the call to drive to Whitstable (despite the absence of the White Dalton bus (white whale!)) rather than my having to learn to water ski on my motorbike! The weather stayed fairly miserable for most of […]

Rockingham race three
18 Oct 2009
Erm, I won. By 15 seconds. My start was ok and I was third on the first lap, second by the end of it and in the lead on the third lap. After that I got my head down and pushed for a couple of laps, scoring a new record of 1m14.2s on the way. […]
